More of a reminder to myself than a post, but perhaps somebody else will find it useful. I’ve just configured Houdini to run on my Linux box and found I didn’t have the middle mouse configured correctly. To be fair, the tablet wasn’t working well at all. This is what I ended up changing in my “wacom.conf” to make things run bit smoother. I’ll update this as I learn more but it’s behaving itself quite well now.
Option "Button2" "3"
Option "Button3" "2"
Option "KeepShape" "on"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "TPCButton" "off"
Option "Threshold" "200"
If I want to use the topmost button as MMB and the lower as right click and have them activate only when tapping, what options should I use (I have a Bamboo)? Thanks.
Eeek. I haven’t a clue (either how to or why you’d do that
. But I’d suspect it’s documented somewhere in the Sourceforge Linux Wacom Project pages. There is a lot of material there I never made it through. Though some of it looks interesting, especially the pressure control…
This helped:
Wacom Tablet Configuration script at linuxwacom wiki
Got to remember the parameter name changes when updating:
Table of new parameters names
I had to change TPCButton to off to make it right- or middle-click only on tapping, which is pretty confusing as off should be hover mode..
Now I can’t click and drag anything with the pen.. weird. Doesn’t depend on TPCButton being on or off, though, this inability to drag.
Ooh, I’ll have to look. I’m pretty happy with my setup at the moment with one near-fatal exception. Something, somewhere has stopped an alt-left-click working in Houdini. Which is unfortunate as it’s the fastest way to set keyframes. Space-left-drag for navigation works just fine, so I’m at a bit of a loss as to why alt has gone all gimpy. Unless it’s this build of Houdini…
