Mouse crazy on Full screen app + Tablet PC

Post by Cabalist »

Hi, I don't really expect this to get fixed but I have an issue and I was hoping someone would be able to at least diagnose it. I have a X41T Thinkpad. It is a tablet pc and when I have a full screen app (i.e. game) open the digitizer pen goes nuts.

The cursor tries to go off the screen. Holding it perfectly still will cause the mouse to glide slowly across the screen while moving it abruptly will cause it to shoot into the corner. I am currently running Fallout2 @ 1024x768, my native resolution and keep having this problem. This happens with other full screen apps also.


Me: Ubuntu 8.10, Wine 1.1.9

Log:
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f08c,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:xrandr:X11DRV_XRandR_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 8
fixme:dinput:SysMouseAImpl_Acquire Clipping cursor to (0,0)-(1024,768)

Does this tablet have a trackpoint mouse? This sounds like the thermal
problems that I experienced with many of them. If you take the pen off
of the screen, does the cursor continue to move? This is an indication
that the TrackPoint is not disabled. Unfortunately, my knowledge of
Linux does not include how to enable the Pen and disable this device.

No, my trackpoint works fine and I can control the cursor in the game perfectly fine with it. The pen however simply looks like it is mapped wrong. The pen works fine in EVERYTHING else and simply acts strange with Wine programs.

Is there an Input log I can look at to see what is going on? Something akin to xev?
