I want to use my old Genius MousePen 8x6 graphics tablet with my notebook running Debian stretch (testing) amd64 and Gnome 3.20.
The tablet was already working before I reseted the OS, now it isn't. The tablet LED flashes if I touch it with the pen, but the coursor doesnt move and no clicks are recognized. (even in libinput-debug-events
)
~ % lsusb
Bus 002 Device 009: ID 5543:0005 UC-Logic Technology Corp. Tablet WP8060U
(lsusb -v here: http://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?1119974).
~ % xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ RAPOO RAPOO 5G Wireless Device id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U Mouse id=9 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]

Usually the tablet is shown up here as two devices: UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U Mouse
and UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U Pen
. The first device is for the optional mouse (I dont own it, so I cant try), the second one for the pen, which is not working.
What I also found (and what I think is most important):
% sudo libinput-ist-devices
libinput error: libinput bug: Device 'UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U Pen' does not meet tablet criteria. Ignoring this device.

I booted a live Lubuntu 16.04, there worked the tablet without problems, in xinput list
and libinput-list-devices
were both devices shown.
So, what can I do to fix this?
