I have an Intuos Draw tablet, which should have 4 configurable buttons on the pad, and 3 buttons on the stylus. Unfortunately when I run xinput list, only the stylus is detected:

xinput

And when I try to do xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos S 2 Pen stylus" Button 4 "", I get the error: Invalid offset into Wacom Button Actions property., which means there are only 3 changeable buttons, aka the buttons on the stylus

Is there anyway I can change the buttons on the pad as well?

pad buttons

I also can't use the 'Wacom Tablet' settings window in system settings to set the buttons, as Ubuntu doesn't detect the tablet

  • @FrankSchrijver I've already done that to make the stylus move the mouse, but that doesn't help rebind the buttons on the pad – Ben Hollier May 19 '16 at 13:01
  • xsetwacom --list devices should show more than 1 device then – Frank Schrijver May 19 '16 at 13:03
  • @FrankSchrijver I followed the answer again and it still only detects the stylus. Unless I need to uninstall something first, I don't think that answer will help with my problem – Ben Hollier May 19 '16 at 13:24
  • Which Ubuntu version are you using (lsb_release -a)? What is your kernel version (uname -r)? – Aaron Skomra May 19 '16 at 16:07
  • @AaronSkomra "Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS" and "3.16.0-71-generic" – Ben Hollier May 19 '16 at 16:09
  • when I do a fresh install of 14.04.4 it gives me kernel 4.2, installing input-wacom-30 (current version is 31) the pad shows up in xinput and works. I will test out your kernel later, but I wanted to give you an update – Aaron Skomra May 19 '16 at 17:43
  • I tried kernel 3.16.35 (from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D) and the pad also worked with that kernel. Your kernel isn't available at that url. You may want to try upgrading. – Aaron Skomra May 19 '16 at 18:04
  • @AaronSkomra I updated my kernel to 3.16.35 and installed input-wacom-31, but I still only get the stylus. I can also try to update my kernel to 4.2 if you think it would help – Ben Hollier May 21 '16 at 05:36
  • @AaronSkomra I upgraded my kernel to 4.2.8, and the pad now appears in xinput, so upgrading the kernel appears to be the solution :D – Ben Hollier May 21 '16 at 14:36
  • glad to hear your tablet is working for you now – Aaron Skomra May 24 '16 at 18:16
