[00:57] <OvenWerks> Eickmeyer[m]: sorry about the upload and build, I needed to be able to install on my son's computer to test it out...
[00:57] <Eickmeyer[m]> OvenWerks: No worries.
[01:20] <OvenWerks> Eickmeyer[m] @azbulutlu: working on tablet stuff for -controls. Want to check my thinking... or lack there of  ;)
[01:21] <OvenWerks> Right now I populate the gui from what the tablet is now arther than what the config file says.
[01:22] <OvenWerks> My thinking is that, everything working right, the device should be the same as the config file anyway.
[01:22] <OvenWerks> That is it should have been set at session start.
[01:32] <Eickmeyer[m]> OvenWerks: I don't really have a wacom tablet to check it against, so we'd have to leave that to @azbulutlu.
[01:32] <OvenWerks> Eickmeyer[m]: yes she has more than one. That makes her a good person to ask.
[01:32] <OvenWerks> I have one (well my son does)
[01:33] <OvenWerks> So everything I can test is based on that.
[01:33] <OvenWerks> I also have the idea that someone with more than one would probably like all of them to get set at boot and not just one.
[01:35] <OvenWerks> Or they would like whichever one is connected to get set... it may be that because of a different arangement of buttons they would want different setting for each tablet
[01:36] <OvenWerks> All of this means saving values for all the possible tablets a user owns and checking at session start which ones are actually plugged in and set all of those.
 I think it needs to happen when tablet is connected?
 it is a good idea to check if there is a tablet on session start but people will plug in and out tablets all the time. and it is not uncommon to have multiple
 think usb microphones as anology
 ovenwerks
 I do need to run but I'll type more later today

[16:45] <OvenWerks> @azbulutlu: So that means we need to keep a data base of drawing surfaces the user owns, if they are plugged in or not... I think.
[16:45] <OvenWerks> @azbulutlu: this is not like usb audio at all maybe.
[16:46] <OvenWerks> The buttons on pads, are they always arranged the same way?
[16:46] <OvenWerks> @azbulutlu: wrong question... would button 1 always need to be set the same way for the same application even on different pads?
[16:48] <OvenWerks> @azbulutlu: would I be able to just hit each pad as plugged in with the same configuration?
[16:53] <OvenWerks> Eickmeyer[m]: we may have a problem -controls if not run by the installing user. 
[17:00] <OvenWerks> Eickmeyer[m]: nope scratch that, it's fine
[17:00] <Eickmeyer[m]> OvenWerks: I was about to say that doesn't make sense, but if we're OK then we're OK. :D
[17:01] <OvenWerks> @azbulutlu: I know, talking to myself... but farther thought would indicate that much of my work to display the device was wasted :P
[17:02] <OvenWerks> @azbulutlu: The device doesn't matter so long as I can get a list of devices for setting up and detect as they are plugged in.
[17:05] <OvenWerks> Eickmeyer[m]: next problem... maybe is that I may need to compare any usb device that gets plugged in against a known list of tablets.
[17:06] <Eickmeyer[m]> OvenWerks: Perhaps, but that's going to be a gigantic list, and might be overkill.
[17:16] <OvenWerks> Eickmeyer[m]: it is strange, lsusb on our tablet jsut shows a serial number no description, but dmesg does show pad and stylus
[17:17] <Eickmeyer[m]> OvenWerks: Gotta love inconsistency. /s
[17:23]  * OvenWerks wonders if there is a command to xorg that makes it reread a config file
 `sudo shutdown -r now `*shot*
 :P
[18:17] <Eickmeyer[m]> @teward001 You may proceed to alt-F4.
[18:17] <Eickmeyer[m]> shot
 :P
