Description Danny Al-Gaaf 2005-09-26 13:49:46 UTC 
If I start wacomcpl with a correct working xorg.conf for a wacom Tablet PC (FSC 
T3010) I get always this error:

wacomcpl: using TCLLIBPATH="[list  /usr/lib ]"
Error in startup script: Error (5): WacomConfigSetRawParam: Unknown X error
Set: Failed to set eraser value for 'FileModel'
    while executing
"exec xsetwacom set $dev FileModel"
    (procedure "createControls" line 25)
    invoked from within
"createControls"
    (file "/usr/bin/wacomcpl-exec" line 1012)

This tool worked with SUSE 9.3 and work again with the package version 0.7.

I see a different problem (warning in a window):

"We didn't find any Wacom device. PLease make sure the device's type (stylus,
eraser, or cursor) is enabled into its identifier string."

Danny, I'm afraid I need your help. Either your help in setting up my wacom 
tablet or your preconfigured Laptop.

wacomcpl calls xsetwacom and xsetwacom only detects the device type depending on the device identifier. It must contain stylus, eraser or cursor. This cannot work, since SaX2 uses a different scheme ("Mouse[i]"). I think it's pretty - let's say - uncommon what xsetwacom does. I'll try to contact the author about this issue, but I can't promise anything right now. Maybe I need to drop wacomcpl because of this problem.

Adding Marcus. He had an idea using libxf86config instead of XDeviceInfo structure.
Comment 9 Stefan Dirsch 2005-11-23 14:33:26 UTC 
( package x11-input-wacom-tools: src/xsetwacom.c:ListDev() )
Comment 10 Stefan Dirsch 2005-11-23 14:53:17 UTC 
Output of "xsetwacom list" should be

<Identifier> <wacom-type>

Example (faked by renaming Identifiers in xorg.conf):

sndirsch@g176:~> xsetwacom list
Mouse[7]-eraser  eraser    
Mouse[5]-stylus  pad       
Mouse[3]-cursor  cursor
