    Is there any documentation regarding the wacom mapping in Revival? I’m having a hard time figuring out how to do simple things in Revival on the tablet… such as Right Click, Left Click, zoom. It’s also very twitchy… is there a way on the Revival station to adjust the wacom tracking speed and program “double-tap”.

    Thanks for anyone who can help!

    Hello Jonathon. Good questions. There are many things that can be adjusted on the tablet. The utility to use on the Linux command line is “xsetwacom”. You can use the “man xsetwacom” for traditional Linux manual pages. The program itself can make immediate changes, but for permanent changes, the appropriate lines would be added either to the “/etc/X11/xorg.conf” file or in a startup file like “.login”. These are advanced controls. Be careful when modifying system type files.

    I tried using the command from the terminal… For some reason, it won’t take any of the modifications I make. I’m not much a a CL guy. Is there a “for dummies” app with a GUI that makes this easier for the average joe?

    Also, on another note… who do I direct Revival feature requests to?

    thanks,

    Jonathon

    Hi Jonathan. I’m afraid the Wacom interface is not very user friendly. If you would send me what you would like to try via personal email, I could send back the command lines to try. My email is “garya” at blackmagic-design.com.

    We are always interested in feature requests. You may offer them via a public forum as many do in this one. Or best to send requests to “davincihelp” at blackmagic-design.com. Or you may send them directly to me via personal email. I generally keep the list of feature requests for Revival.

    Best Regards, Gary Adams

    What about redesigning Rivaval and bringing it to the Mac ?
    I would instantly buy it.

    Of course this is my primary “new feature” request!
