I'm not sure that it was clear enough - the wacom driver works fine with my tablet and I've got pen pressure in krita. My problem is How to identify my tablet in the drivers to restrict working area of the tablet - because aspect ratio of the tablet doesnt match aspect ratio of the monitor - when i draw exact circel it draws oval (or when I draw a square I have a rectagle on my monitor) - I know that many users even don't notice but it is important for me.
Here is one article about it
http://sapphirepaw.blogspot.cz/2011/02/ ... buntu.html

what I need to know is the name of my device - I tried some names like " 9x12 Tablet pad" but than it wasn't possible to boot up and I had to delete the conf file in rescue mode
For now I'm going to switch back to edev and gimp 2.6.
I like krita a lot (especialy its brush engine) but now I have not the time to play with drivers so I wish you the best with the program

@Graphy
According your callibration issues this page http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/l ... alibration night help.
Or may be these pages:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/l ... gory:HOWTO
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/d ... nput-wacom
But I have one problem. I have noticed this:

Code: Select all

~$ xsetwacom --list devices
                9x12 Tablet stylus   id: 11   type: STYLUS   
                9x12 Tablet stylus   id: 13   type: STYLUS

It seems to me the wacom driver creates 2 tablets! Will you please post the output of the xinput command with the evdev driver and the wacom driver?

Yes its truth - I'm not sure but one may be for stylus and second for mouse - and this is probably the problem that both have the same name and cannot be distinguished in configuration file - just guessing.
As I said I'm back on edev and here is xinput

Code: Select all

~$ xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer                       id=2   [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                 id=4   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳                 9x12 Tablet                id=8   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳                 9x12 Tablet                id=9   [slave  pointer  (2)]

    ↳ Power Button                               id=7   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Generic USB Keyboard   

I'll try to find time to make xinput with wacom driver as soon as possible
p.s. the IDs has changed because I'm on another motherboard for some reasons

Hi,

one more thing came to my mind. Around a year ago someone has similar issue with this tablet on ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1984743. And in this post Favux gave some instruction how to disable one of the 9x12 items: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? ... st12123598. I thought I post it just in case it helps.

Greetings.

I spent two and a half weeks trying to make my UC-Logic WP8060U have pressure either in Krita or under Wine (for Photoshop) but with no success. I1m entirely tired of this nonsense and I'm actually considering switching back to Windows after years of Linux, because I'm unable to work under Linux without pressure. You people here are my last hope.

I read this thread, and read hundreds of other forum and mailing list posts already. The only thing I didn't try yet is patching Qt, since my Linux knowledge is basic, and all I read about Qt patching seems to me like it was written in an alien language... so I really hope there is another way. Also because my system is critical, I CAN NOT just break it and reinstall... if it breaks, I'm screwed big time.

So...

Are there any news on this?

I saw it mentioned that new dev versions of Krita have tablet handling - what's up with that? Is it out? Does it support evdev? Will it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Storm!

If you are on Ubuntu-like system, please check the latest Krita package in Krita Lime:

http://dimula73.blogspot.ru/2013/05/kri ... sions.html

For other distributions, you will need to build Krita yourself:

Either of the two manuals (the former one is a bit newer):
http://www.davidrevoy.com/article193/bu ... x-for-cats
http://community.kde.org/Calligra/Building

You can also try to wait a couple of days until upcoming Krita 2.8 Alpha1 will appear in your distribution, but that may demand some major system updates.

Hi!

You are Dmitry, right, the guy who coded the tablet support? Thank you very much for your work! This is something Krita really needed, so finally not only Wacom owners but the rest of the world can use it too. If I understand right, from 2.8 everything that works with GIMP etc. will work in Krita too?

I'm on Arch, which is rolling release so in theory things come out the moment they are ready. But not sure if there will be an alpha package. I think I just try to build it from master. I love the first tutorial you linked!


Now the only big issue that needs to be fixed in Krita is that it lags to the nine hells on the same computer that can run Photoshop CS6 smoothly... Things like loading all brushes into the RAM even when not used, and other nonsense that MIGHT give an INSIGNIFICANT boost to people who can afford a power plant, but make Krita a painful, super-slow, laggish nightmare for the rest of the World. I had to delete most of the default brushes to be able to do anything at all without lagging.

Hi!

I just finished building and installing Krita from master.

STILL NO PRESSURE SENSITIVITY!!!

So what now?

Hi, Storm!

Could you check two things:

1) paste the output of 'xinput' with the tablet connected to the machine;

2) make a log of tablet events in Krita: start Krita in Terminal, press Ctrl+Shift+T, save the terminal output to a file and paste here (don't forget to activate unlimited scrollback in the terminal )

So it still works in GIMP, just not in Krita. According to xinput it's recognized properly:

Code: Select all

Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U                   id=8    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U                   id=9    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ USB Optical Mouse                         id=10   [slave  pointer  (2)]

I'm using the "wizardpen" driver.

Here is the event log:

Thanks in advance!

Any news?

Would it help if I try to build it again from master?

Hi, Storm!

It seems like your X11 server does not recognize the tablet and doesn't report it as a tablet to Krita. Theoretically, I can prepare a patch that would add some more debug information about what the server reports to us (and whether it reports anything), but I'm a bit busy right now and will be able to do it not earlier that Sunday or Monday.

For now you can try to play with your driver and X11 configuration. Btw, does the pressure work in other applications, like Gimp and MyPaint?

Hi!

I appreciate any help! If you get around making that patch, let me know. And I understand there are more important things that come first.

Yes, it works in GIMP and MyPaint. Actually, it does also works with no specific driver installed at all, I only use the Wizardpen (driver for Genius tablets that are technically rebranded UC-LOGICs) because position detection around the tablet's edges is a bit glitchy and that driver allowed me to define my working area.

What I'm going to do now is remove Wizardpen, modify the config file to set it with evdev, and copy-paste the same coordinates, and we will see if it works. I will post the result here. If it works in other apps, bit still not in Krita, I will keep it anyway so I will be on the officially supported river then, which probably makes things easier.

Thanks all the help!

Hi,

I have done some testing with Genius MousePen i608X and the Krita Lime package on Xubuntu 13.10 64bit on a VM. First I tested the evdev driver. MyPaint was working well, but Krita didn't. There was no pressure with the tablet. (I couldn't test the tablet in Gimp because of this bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674253).
Then I tried the wacom driver too. (This tablet working with the wacom driver too ) And there was pressure in all applications including Krita
If you need outputs from this tablet too please let me know.

Sorry for slow response, I had unrelated issues keeping me busy.

So I just built the latest Krita Alpha from source 1-2 hours ago. Still no pressure, everything seems the same. with both evdev and wizardpen:

Pressure works in GIMP and MyPaint, NOT in Krita.

xinput:

Code: Select all

⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U                   id=8    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U                   id=9    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ USB Optical Mouse                         id=10   [slave  pointer  (2)]

Tablet event log:
http://pastebin.com/LR4yzpHX

And the wacom driver workaround doesn't work with UC-LOGICs (I tried regardless, to no avail).

I ran out of ideas, all I can do is waiting for either Dmitry making that patch, or any suggestions on what could I try. According to Dmitry, the X server reports my tablet pen to Krita as a mouse, rather than a pen.
