Getting the list of available parameters for a Wacom device

  • 772

How would one go about obtaining the list of parameter names for a recognized Wacom device that can be manipulated with the xsetwacom tool?

To be more specific, I'm looking for names applicable to <param> below:

xsetwacom set <wacom_device>  <param>  <value>
10.04 xorg wacom input-devices

  1. Murat gave the right answer to this question already. This is just to add some knowledge on top of it.

    xinput --list-props <device_name>

    also shows some properties that can be modified/retrieved through the xinput interface. However, property names here may not be compatible with xsetwacom.

    xsetwacom --list param should do it.

  3. Note that editing the wacom-specific config file may be better than running xsetwacom every time you reboot or ALT+F7 back to the X desktop.

    I just recently figured out how that worked and wrote up a little how-to posting on the Ubuntu forum:
