WACOM have no pressure sensitivity in maya(linux)

[kiko]

Maya help:
To fix this, search the /Users/username/Library/XII/input/config/wacom file (Mac OS X) or /usr/lib/X11/input/config/wacom file (Windows, IRIX, and Linux) for a "tablet" entry. Change it to "wacom" and restart the machine.

However,my wacom file does not exist.
I think this might be fixed in other ways.
who knows how to fix this?
By the way,it works well in GIMP.

Has nobody found a solution for this yet? I'm havin the exact same problem here

Me too.. Does anyone have pressure sensitivity working in Maya for Linux? If so maybe you could post your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. Thanks if anyone can help...

Well I somehow managed to get pressure working in Maya. I changed the identifier from "stylus" to "wacom" and it now works. Here is an excerpt from my XF86Config file:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "wacom"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS1"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Tilt" "On"
Option "Threshold" "10"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "eraser"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS1"
EndSection

[.....]

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "layout1"
Screen "screen1"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "wacom" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "eraser" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Now it works in Maya, however, the pressure sensitivity seems very buggy. 70% of the time when I start off pressing with a low pressure it just reports 100% pressure. This makes the sensitivity pretty useless. My tablet works perfectly in Shake, GIMP and Photoshop in WINE though... so it isn't my tablet.

Well at least one problem is solved. Let me know your results and if you have this same buggy behavior.

I have also a Graphire USB. ALthough i can see enabled my tablet in maya linux ( i can enable stylus pressure setting and set all the parameters in the tool options), i cant use pressure feature in paint effects. However pressure works ok at gimp.
Please someone fix this problem cause its a major disadvantage.....(
maybe some corrections in the code of the wacom driver??
although xidump can see the movement/pressure of the tablet, maya cant read it!
PRobably it would be wise to understand through debugging how maya at linux reads the wacom tablet...what does it check, see, etc...

As i explained at my previous post...i tried that!
Although Maya can see my Stylus (options are enabled) ...pressure doesnt work at all!!!

How did u manage to do that?
What driver and version do u use?

[jiann]

i am using the beta wacom driver 0.5.2-beta, and Xfree 4.2.1 with nvidia 4349. I am pretty surprised myself that it suddenly worked. It still seems really buggy in the way it works though....

[chrish]

I cant get it to work!grrrrr...
I cannot get wacom to work even in photoshop via wine...
Gimp works fine

i cant understand...
