## Touch ring toggle script
##
## Bind Button 1 (button center of touch ring) to the script.
##
## To allow script to select mode status LEDs edit rc.local to change root
## only permissions on the sysfs status_led0_select file:
##   gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local
## Add the following comment and command (before 'exit 0'):
##   # Change permissions on status_led0_select file so being root isn't
##   # required to switch Wacom touch ring mode status LEDs.
##   /bin/chmod 666 /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/wacom_led/status_led0_select
##
## Intuos - status_led0_select file = the left (only) ring status LEDs.
## Cintiq - status_led1_select = the left ring; status_led0_select =
## the right ring status LEDs.  Same for the touchstrips.
##
## For mode state notification use:
##   sudo apt-get install libnotify-bin
## Otherwise comment (#) out the notify-send lines.  If libnotify-bin
## installed see 'man notify-send' for details.
