When you depress it it should slide into the stylus barrel. An eraser is like a button on the back end of the stylus. Your Medion Md9570 now works after installing the Aiptek input driver xserver-xorg-input-aiptek 1.1.1 with Synaptic Package Manager.

You will have to excuse my stupidity, but only changed to linux last year and due to illness not had a chance to really get under the hood so to speak. I have followed some of the threads and read as much as I can, but it all seems a little lost on me, I have created an FDI file in policy but when I come to edit it in gedit, all my changes seems to be lost.Īny help would be gratefully accepeted. There are 2 buttons on the pen and I think an eraser on the end of it, it is a badged MEDION 9570 oversize pad. HI I am using Jaunty, and everything seems ok on the surface, but I get no Pen option in Gimp. That may also work for your aiptek tablet since they're general x11 options.

Which would make the first stylus button (Button2 because the stylus tip is Button1) a middle mouse click (2) and the second button (Button3) a right mouse click (3).

Which version of Ubuntu are you using? Jaunty (9.04) or another? If Jaunty maybe we can add the stylus buttons to the '99-x11-wizardpen.fdi' located in '/etc/hal/fdi/policy/' if you have it. Did you follow 9.1 for Gimp here?: A similar description of enabling the Extended Input Devices is near the bottom here:
