I’ve been having an issue with my computer in the last few days, so I tested other DEs to confirm if kde was the issue, and that included running plasma wayland. it messed with my wacom’s config, forcing it to work in absolute mode, so I switched back to x11.
Which seems to have left my wacom’s config messed up. It seems to be stuck girating randomly between working in absolute and relative modes and I’m not sure what to do. It’ll work well for a moment and then go back to absolute for a split second, messing me up.
I poked at xsetwacom, thinking maybe I had to just set it to absolute then back to relative, but it didn’t work and I noticed the mode property is now in both the pen and tablet itself, only it can’t be switched in one of them.
~ xsetwacom -x --get 10 mode
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
~ xsetwacom -x --get 9 mode
Option "Mode" "Relative"
~ xsetwacom -x --set 9 "Mode" "Relative"
~ xsetwacom -x --set 10 "Mode" "Relative"

Has anyone else ran into this? I think my device’s stuck in both modes at once. Unplugging and replugging, and rebooting, didn’t help.
