xsetwacom can't map keys correctly
I recently bought a Wacom Intuos listed with xsetwacom
as Wacom Intuos PT M
. I figured out how to configure the buttons and actions, but when I try to set any button to some particular letters, they are replaced by others. Here is a table of the results
Letter | Letter
typed | mapped
---------------
a | **q**
b | b
c | c
d | d
e | e
f | f
g | g
h | h
i | i
j | j
k | k
l | l
m | **é**
n | n
o | o
p | p
q | q
r | r
s | s
t | t
u | u
v | v
w | w
x | x
y | **z**
z | **w**
(more with the non-letter characters)
The keyboard looky PARTIALLY mapped as an AZERTY (French) keyboard, but not totally. I therefore can't map the letters a, m and y, because both a and q produce q.
Do anybody know a workaround, like using unicode to map letters?
I'm using Ubuntu 13.10, 64bit with a Swiss keyboard (QWERTZ).
I had the same problem, and had to find the correct buttons by trial and error (cfr. this blog post of mine for the whole story). It was the only solution I found.
I filed a bug report related to this issue here: #274 Azerty keyboard/modifiers treated as (weird) QWERTY on Sourceforge. As mentioned there, possibly this issue has been fixed in the xsetwacom 0.29 release (haven't tested this).
