Aiptek Tablet - ArchWiki

# Aiptek Tablet

This has been tested with an Aiptek HyperPen 12000U. I have no idea if it works with a different tablet.

## Installation

You need to install xf86-input-aiptek from the Official repositories.

Create `/etc/udev/rules.d/20-aiptek.rules` with the following content:

    ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="xorg_aiptek_end"
    KERNEL!="event[0-9]*", GOTO="xorg_aiptek_end"

    ATTRS{idVendor}=="08ca", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0010", ENV{x11_driver}="aiptek", SYMLINK+="input/aiptektablet"

    LABEL="xorg_aiptek_end"

Create `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-aiptek.conf` with the following content

    Section "InputClass"
           Identifier "pen"
           Driver "aiptek"
           Option "Device" "/dev/input/aiptektablet"
           Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
           Option "USB" "on"
           Option "Type" "stylus"
           Option "Mode" "absolute"
           Option "zMin" "0"
           Option "zMax" "511"
    EndSection
    Section "InputClass"
           Identifier "pen"
           Driver "aiptek"
           Option "Device" "/dev/input/aiptektablet"
           Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
           Option "USB" "on"
           Option "Type" "erasor"
           Option "Mode" "absolute"
           Option "zMin" "0"
           Option "zMax" "511"
    EndSection
    Section "InputClass"
           Identifier "pen"
           Driver "aiptek"
           Option "Device" "/dev/input/aiptektablet"
           Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
           Option "USB" "on"
           Option "Type" "cursor"
           Option "Mode" "absolute"
           Option "zMin" "0"
           Option "zMax" "511"
    EndSection

Then restart udev and X or your display manager (gdm, kdm, slim, ...)

## Gimp

Should work right away. If not, those settings worked for me:

Edit -> Input Devices -> Aiptek

- Mode: Screen
- X: 1
- Y: 2
- Pressure: 3
- X-Tilt, Y-Tilt and Wheel shouldn't matter
