Reproduced. This presumably is the source of the software rot I've been experiencing with my tablet of late *sigh* Below are my findings with various available kernels on my system, and links to other bugs I've reported.
libwacom2 0.15 is available in Ubuntu presently. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libwacom2 Timo: please provide a package for Debian too, or mark this package as orphaned in Debian, because it functionally is right now. https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ Linux spatula 4.0.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.0.8-2 (2015-07-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux * gnome-control-center 3.16.3-1 does not recognise my tablet at all * might be accidentally reported as https://bugs.debian.org/793059 Linux spatula 3.16-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.5-1 (2014-10-10) x86_64 GNU/Linux * gnome-control-center 3.16.3-1 recognises tablet - button mappings UI is presented, but is unexpectedly basic * gnome-settings-daemon 3.16.3-1 does not apply configured button mappings - https://bugs.debian.org/791530 - Buttons configured to send keypresses don't - Instead, they act as numbered buttons from the "Wacom Intuos5 touch M Pen pad" device Linux spatula 3.14-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.14.13-2 (2014-07-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux * Experience just like kernel 3.16.3-amd64. * However my laptop's touchpad no longer sends scroll events or multi- tap button press events... complete side issue there though. -- Andrew Chadwick
