Hi everyone,
I'm currently triying to make a Graphire4 working with xorg 7.1 and kernel 2.6.17-r4 (my box is ~x86)
And it is quite a mess...
While searching infos, I found this in the first post :
Quote: | KERNEL="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}="056a", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/wacom%e" |
Notice that it is quite wrong because udev rule syntax a changed, i had tochange as following to make it work, I'm not really sure about that, so if someone can confirm. Thanks
Quote: | KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/wacom%e" |
Edit:
It works great on my ~x86 box
Xorg 7.1 and latest Kernel 2.6.17-r4
Notice that I had to reactivate input devices in gimp's preferences window. |

edit: Solved! Replacing wacom.c in kernel sources with one from linuxwacom package (2.6.16) worked!
Help! My Volito is not working. I have set the USB-hid, evdev, and wacom options in kernel as build in. After connecting the tablet in /var/log/messeges:
Code: | Sep 12 15:19:12 laptok usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7
Sep 12 15:19:12 laptok usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Sep 12 15:19:12 laptok input: Wacom Volito as /class/input/input7 |

After adding an udev rule to make a symlink "wacom" it its created correctly, when i try to test it (wacom symlink or the correct eventX) using wacdump or catting there is no response(same thing while trying to use it in Xorg as a pointer), although wacdump is able to tell me that it its a "Volito".
tested on vanilla kernel 2.6.17.13, ~x86, udev-100-r2, linuxwacom-0.7.4_p3 |

|
|
With 2.6.17 I had no problem using my Volito2 by moving wacom.c and hid-core.c from the 2.6.16 directory from the linuxwacom sources to /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/input/ and recompiling the kernel. The latest development version ov linuxwacom (0.7.5-3), now has a 2.6.18 directory, which just contains the wacom.h header file, no more wacom.c or hid-core.c.
Does anyone know if it's still safe to use the 2.6.16 versions with kernel 2.6.18? The original versions in the 2.6.18 kernel doesn't work, although the wacom kernel module is loaded, the tablet simply dosen't work.
Another problem I have is, that I also use a Haupauge DVR 1100 DVB-T Card, which works great. The only problem is that the IR remote control just works transiently, and it seems to work more reliably, when the wacom doesn't work, e.g. in this moment where I don't use the linuxwacom kernel modules. Since both devices use the /dev/input method (udev creates the correct symlinks for both of them), could it be that the wacom usb driver code is somehow incompatible to other devices? |

Many thanks for this HOWTO. I think it should be updated however, reflecting changes within udev (== instead of =). I got this working with 2.6.17-gentoo-r7, X.org 7.1 and linuxwacom-0.7.4_p3, however I had to copy wacom.c and usbhid.c from 2.6.16 directory of linuxwacom sources. Without it done, my tablet got detected, but wacdump didn't show any reaction to movement etc. _________________ RLU #137109 | http://soundcloud.com/argasek |

Thanks for the update!
Three remarks:
1) AFAIK the entry in the autoload list of modules is not neccessary, as the kernel will autoload the module by itself if it finds the device.
2) you should mention the Code: | # ebuild /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/linuxwacom/linuxwacom-0.7.6_p2.ebuild digest | command line, neccessary to generate the "Manifest" file after downloading the source tarball.
3) Hey, we're on Linux, not Windows: We don't need to reboot the computer for each new device driver Unless you didn't change your kernel configuration Code: | # rmmod wacom
# modprobe wacom | should be sufficient to unload the old module and load the new one. (Of course you need to restart X if you changed xorg.conf during your first install for the changes to take effect) |

You're right: all necessary modules will be automatically loaded when X starts. fixed.

It's done automatically for me, and I don't have any exotic FEATURES or anything.

I'm having a little trouble with the wacom setup I have 2.6.18 kernel and have compiled linuxwacom-0.7.6 from the linux wacom project, it seems recognise the device when I unplug the connect the usb but I can't get any data from it using wacdump.
Here is a clip from my kernel messages when I rmmod and modprobe wacom, I don't know how relative the <NULL> is? But it does look rather ominous.
Code: | Dec 6 22:59:01 [kernel] usbcore: deregistering driver wacom
Dec 6 22:59:23 [kernel] input: Wacom Volito2 4x5 as /class/input/input13
Dec 6 22:59:23 [kernel] evbug.c: Connected device: "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard", isa0060/serio0/input0
Dec 6 22:59:23 [kernel] evbug.c: Connected device: "ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse", isa0060/serio1/input0
Dec 6 22:59:23 [kernel] evbug.c: Connected device: "Wacom Volito2 4x5", <NULL>
Dec 6 22:59:23 [kernel] usbcore: registered new driver wacom
Dec 6 22:59:23 [kernel] drivers/usb/input/wacom.c: v1.45:USB Wacom Graphire and Wacom Intuos tablet driver |
Is this pointing to the problem, I am just a little lost.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

DeMascus, are you sure you're using the kernel module from the wacom package instead of that included in the kernel?
Plus, make sure you're running wacdump with the X server down. _________________ Kyrie, Ignis Divine, Eleison ~ Elfen Lied |

Thank you, it was the module.
It works fine in X i'll have to test gimp now. |

I noticed that, with the latest wacom drivers (or is it since i updated to X 7.x?), a nasty bug with gimp appeared: you can't use your mouse to draw, until you move your stilus. moving the stylus makes the mouse work again in gimp until next X reboot.
could someone confirm/dismiss this? _________________ Kyrie, Ignis Divine, Eleison ~ Elfen Lied |

|
|
Hello everyone!
Thank you for the HOWTO, it helped me to configure my Wacom Graphire4 under X.
However I encountered some difficulties with setting TwinView and making Gimp working properly.
I have two monitors connected to my nvidia graphic card, I'm running XFCE4 with Xinerama support. The main difficulty is that these two monitors have different resolutions, one (main) is set to 1280x1024 while other (on the left of main) is set to 1024x768. X works properly, however I can't use my tablet in GIMP. It seems that GIMP does not collect cursor coordinates of pointer, but from somewhere else.
It will be easier to see that on the illustration:
http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/4448/gimpwacomscreenshotdz2.png
Have anyone ever had such a situation? Other programs, like Inkskape, work properly, so it seems that this is a matter of GIMP. But even if it is - has anybody any ideas how to solve/go around this problem?
Some configuration cut-outs:

Thanks in advance,

**EDIT**
I've just enabled TABLET in Inkscape, and result is the same as in GIMP
Even if the "mouse pointer" of tablet is limited to desktop area of one screen, applications retrieve it's coordinates from whole, dual-monitor, desktop, that is two times wider... How to disable this odd behaviour?
**EDIT II***
I made a video presentation of my problem:
http://video.google.pl/videoplay?docid=-963158980122070242
Note differences between "mouse pointer" (right-hand side) and "drawing pointer" (left-hand side) |

Hi, thanks for the howto. I'm trying to work it through to get my Wacom Volito2 working with Gentoo.
However, I not getting it done. I use the latest ebuild from the bugsite. My kernel is 2.6.18.3
When I modprobe the wacom module, wacdump won't give anything. My X is down at that time.
When I emerge linuxwacom, with the wacon USE-flag enabled, it complains I have to enable
wacom in the kernel as a module. If I do so, it compiles. But I get the feeling this is giving me
the wrong module What is the correct procedure?
Any help is most welcome
Edit:
Switching to the gentoo-2.6.18 kernel and re-emerging linuxwacom-7.6-r2 solved my problem
Thanks again for the howto _________________ If there is one thing to learn from history, it's that we usualy don't learn anything from it, at all. |

Thank you for the wonderful how-to. I just got my Intuos3 pad working, but not completely. I can only use the stylus and not the Wacom mouse or the eraser, even though wacdump does react to the changes in the tools. Could you please explain how to configure Xorg to use multiple tools for the pad? |

http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/inputdev
and
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/srvlayout
if the mouse still doesn't work:
1)does it work if you remove your current mouse and leave only the wacom mouse attached?
2)do you have /dev/input/mice in your xorg.conf (and not /dev/input/mouse0 or something)?
please let me know if you experience problems drawing with the mouse in gimp, without having touched your pad since last X restart. _________________ Kyrie, Ignis Divine, Eleison ~ Elfen Lied |

Thanks, that worked. I just didn't know that it was possible to create multiple sections all using one device. I have one more question though: How would I go about remapping the side buttons to match my regular mouse configuration? Do I just use xmodmap to do so? |

Hi,
I just tried to get my wacom on my X60t to run. But it just won't do it.
I made everything explained in the Howto.
I made a local Portage with the linuwacom driver
Code: |
[ebuild R ] x11-drivers/linuxwacom-0.7.6_p4-r1 USE="gtk udev usb wacom -tcltk" 0 kB [1]
|
Moreover I compiled the driver as a modul.
Copied the new kernel to /boot and rebooted.
But all I get is
Code: |
Jun 27 16:00:18 localhost usbcore: registered new interface driver wacom
Jun 27 16:00:18 localhost drivers/usb/input/wacom_sys.c: v1.46:USB Wacom Graphire and Wacom Intuos tablet driver
|
The Problem is, the I'm missing an input device. There is just none
Code: | ls /dev/input
by-path event0 event1 event2 event3 event4 mice mouse0
|
I Have no clue how to solve it. |

hippi,
1)lsmod | grep wacom
to make sure that the module has been properly loaded.
2)wacdump /dev/input/eventX
(where X is 0 through 4) to see if it's there but you just didn't get the /dev/input/wacom symlink.
3)$ dmesg | grep -e "[Ww]acom"
personally, I get:
Code: | $ dmesg | grep -e "[Ww]acom"
input: Wacom Volito2 4x5 as /class/input/input5
usbcore: registered new interface driver wacom
drivers/usb/input/wacom_sys.c: v1.46:USB Wacom Graphire and Wacom Intuos tablet driver |
4)make sure that the original kernel module has been overwritten by the one provided with the linuxwacom package. _________________ Kyrie, Ignis Divine, Eleison ~ Elfen Lied |

I'm using a Volito2 and the setup works so far: device found by kernel, /dev/input/wacom is created, X finds it, I can move the mousecursor with it etc.
But in gimp and inkscape I cannot draw with it because the first button acts like the move-tool instead of a painting-tool and the second button opens the kontextmenu like the right button of my mouse does.
Where/how can I change this?
The device is configured as stylus in absolute mode:
Code: | Section "Input Device"
Identifier "stylus"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
EndSection |
I am using gentoo-sources 2.6.22-r2 and linuxwacom 0.7.4_p3.
btw, there is no 0.7.8 in portage, did you use an overlay or did your create your own ebuild? (my last sync was today 2007-08-18)
Code: | ll /usr/portage/x11-drivers/linuxwacom/
insgesamt 28

hm, so the only thing that does not work seems to be the single-click-feature because I can neither klick buttons with the stylus nor draw lines with it. Any idea how to activate this? |

argh! this worked all the time but I need to press the stylus really hard to be able to draw with it. I think I will try some "Threshold" values for softer pressure |

This how-to doesn't work for 2.6.21-suspend2 kernel, .ebuild file is messed up. I had to fiddle with the linuxwacom-0.7.8_p2.ebuild file to get it working. There is a difference in the kernel .config variables and in the install directory. I'm not experienced with scripts, so I had to "turn off" all wacom driver checks and changed the install dir by hand. But I think I managed in the end. Can any1 tell me how to check the driver version? I tried with modprobe and lsmod, but it didn't output anything.
ps. If someone could be kind enough to "patch" this for 2.6.21-suspend2 kernel.
Anyway great How-to, thanks! |
