Hi

I've got an Wacom Intuos3 A3 wide (Product: PTZ-631W, VendorID:$056a, ProductID: $00b5)

It's recognized under Poseidon/MOS 2.2 by the HID.class (v4.1) as a wacom tablet (cool!)

But...

Actions in HID setup window definitively locks the Pointer (mouse) reports settings and even after a clear + save, nothing changes, the configuration returns to default values!!!

Even more, "[Wacom]" reports don't see any events from the tablet, even with "Pointer" reports cleared + save.

So my tablet is locked a in "mouse" state and not as a real tablet... (bad!)

Anyone has the same report or not?
Chris: an idea about that? Issue inside the HID class?

Note: The tablet works perfectly with linux (fedora) and Gimp on a PC.
This is the usb dump for these device (linux dump, I'm at work ):

@ Yomgui

I own also the same tablet, Intuos3 wide PTZ-631W, and have the same problem, the tablet seems only
to be recognized as a mouse and also my Intuos2 XD-0608-U seems only to be recogrized as a mouse.

It would be really GREAT (and very much needed for drawing artists) if this could be fixed.
Also I never could use it as a real tablet with pressure with TVPaint 3.6


@ Chris

Perhaps there could be something done in the HID class?

We need to wait an Intuos ProductID's support

To all Wacom Intuos owners:

Today I've succeed to enable the tabled mode of my Wacom Intuos3.
I've made a small program to do that, just plug your tablet, check if Poseidon
recognizes it and binds it with HID.class, and run my program.

That's all!

Note: you may need to set correctly Action in the device HID prefs, or just press "fill with defaults".


The program is here: http://www.yomgui.fr/projects/WacomFix.elf

Is this issue only with this Wacom tablet?

I've not a report for all existants tablets, but the fix is only for Wacom as it's a vendor specific feature.

Quote:

Wow... Could you please explain what your program does? Or is it too long of an explanation?

Not a rocket science....

I've looked Linux code and I've found that send a special command to the tablet in order to put it into a special vendor mode. This mode enables Wacom specificities like pressure, tilt, absolute position, buttons, etc...

To be more technical: you should send an HID report feature with ReportID=2 and data=2. Et voil??

I've talk today with chris about that, the current HID class driver doesn't give me a way to change that, even using the "inital startup actions" item in the [extra] collection. No listed features work.
