I'm getting an error writing in Xournal that looks like this:
That is, whenever my pen touches the screen, it draws a line from upper left off-screen to the point where I connect.
I remember having a problem when I first installed Ubuntu on a tablet years ago, in like 2007, when the solution was much fiddling in xorg.conf, which I don't believe is even used anymore. How can I fix this? I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 in a virtualbox on a surface pro 2.
UPDATE
Seems to be confined to virtualbox, actually? Trying to isolate the bug, I exported my virtual machine and loaded it in VMWare Player. There, I was able to use Xournal without this error. (However, there I have a bunch of new errors I don't want, so I'd prefer a solution still for Virtualbox.)
UPDATE 2
I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on a new machine and have the same problem. This does not seem to be limited to either Xournal or virtualbox. It occurs both virtualized and native. Is this just generally a bug in ubuntu's wacom drivers? Also, how would I be the lucky person to get this bug on 2 totally separate devices (on MS Surface Pro, one Lenovo X1) where no one else seems to get it at all?
UPDATE 3
Just got a notification I still had this up. Intervening updates still haven't fixed this. I basically just can't use the tablet function in Ubuntu.
