Hello folks
I'm not sure if this belongs to Hardware or Software Support, so I hop I post this to the right forum.
I recently upgraded to Kubuntu 15.04 and I noticed that my Tablet is not recognized as a Tablet anymore, instead it's listed as a Joystick "Wacom Intuos3 9x12 Pad (/dev/input/js0)" in "System Settings"→"Input Devices". I didn't notice it at first because the pen worked fine as a mouse pointer and I didn't have to configure anything until today when I attached a second screen and wanted to configure the screen mapping.
Kubuntu 14.04 recognized my Tablet without Issues and I remember having a special Tablet entry in System Settings with options to configure mapping, pressure and so on.
I searched the Internet for a solution and found someone with the same unsolved problem.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/64235...s5-as-joystick
I tried installing the Project from http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxwacom/ but it does not build on my system because of missing dependencies, I guess it's just not made for 15.04.
Meanwhile I tried a lot of things but nothing seems to help.
Outputs:
So I guess drivers are not an issue.
I thought that maybe some config tool is not installed for some reason and I found this https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...-input-devices
but kde-config-tablet is already installed an the newest version. Reinstall didn't help ether.
At last I looked into the xorg logfile and found some entries but I still cant figure out why it's doing that and how to fix.
From xorg:
I think that maybe because of the "pad" the system thinks its a "joypad" and maps it to a Joystick but still I have no Idea how to fix this.
After a day of searching the web and trying things without success I'm out of Ideas.
I could live without most of the configuration options except for the screen and button mapping which can't be done from Krita.
Maybe someone knows how to fix this or could point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Edit:
Looks like it's a known bug. The configuration tool is not ported to KDE 5, yet. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347022
I'm still looking for a workaround. Switching back to a single monitor is not exactly the best solution for me.
