On my Thinkpad X220 Tablet the touch-finger works flawlessly but the pen is terribly miscalibrated. The calibration tool in System settings -> Wacom tablet does not work. Instead, whenever I wan't to use the pen I first need to

sudo xsetwacom set 'Wacom ISDv4 E6 Pen stylus' Area 0 0 27760 15690

These changes do not remain permanent. That is, after every reboot they are gone. How can I make the change permanent - I'm not looking for a startup scrip, I'd like to set the right area once for all. Any idea?

Save a file ending in .conf with the following content in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Wacom Area configurations"
    # Match all Wacom input tools that have "BambooFun 6x8" in the "device name".
    MatchProduct "Wacom ISDv4 E6 Pen stylus"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"

    # Apply a custom configuration options. Any option will also apply to
    # all dependent devices, if applicable. So e.g. the pressure curve will
    # be available on the stylus and the eraser (but not on the pad).
    Option "Area" "0 0 27760 15690"
EndSection

The option part isn't the same for both Xorg and xsetwacom, so it would need you to check it out.

    looks absolutely reasonable, however, does not work. The pen is calibrated in the guest account and at the log-in screen. As soon as I log in to my account, the cursor "jumps" away from the pen and is miscalibrated. I guess some config file must be loaded with my profile but I simply can't figure out where that file resides?

  • If you create a new account the problem happens?
