 Posted: Mon Jan 28, 2013 5:58 am Post subject: Digitizer Screen Lenovo X61T how to install? |
 |
|
lspci
lsmod
lsusb
grep 8250 /usr/src/linux/.config
The gentoo wiki on the Wacom Tablet
Lenovo Thinkpad X61 Tablet, I am trying to get the screen digitizer to accept input from the digitizer pen.
It seems like it is in the kernel, and I have the xf86-input-wacom installed but lsmod doesn't show any evidence of 8250.
I made an attempt at installing the linuxwacom-module but it would not compile stating that I needed to:
| Code: |
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make .oldconfig
# make modules_prepare |
This seems like something that would bork my kernel.
I am looking for advice on how to proceed.

<shot in the dark> Try modules. Firmware likes modules. Also, you may want to check http://www.kernel-seeds.org to see if you missed something.</shot in the dark>
Also stay away from the old linuxwacom-module. It is just that: old. It doesn't seem to play well with newer systems.

How can I find out if a specific module is supported by a kernel? I can't find the 8250_pnp module anywhere.
It is supposed to be in Device Drivers > Character Devices > Serial Devices but I can't find it. I think the problem is that it isn't compile in correctly. I have the wrong serial wacom drivers compiled....I hope.

bogamol,
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250 for 8250_core
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PNP for 8250_pnp

I mean in the configurator when running genkernel --menuconfig all
I can't find anything that has module options 8250_pnp or 8250_core.
I see that I have them configured as built in...must've been default.

I'm not sure I'm following what you're trying to explain, but for that selection to be selectable you have to set
[*] Configure standard kernel features (expert users) ---> in general setup, then it will show.
<*> 8250/16550 and compatible serial support │ │
│ │ [*] Console on 8250/16550 and compatible serial port │ │
│ │ <*> 8250/16550 PCI device support (NEW) │ │
│ │ <*> 8250/16550 PNP device support (NEW) │ │
│ │ < > 8250/16550 PCMCIA device support │ │
│ │
If this isn't what you're trying to convey, can you be a little more specific

That's what I was trying to get to in order to modularize them per TheDoctor. Thanks.
Hmm. No luck.
Is it possible that this is related to another Error that I got when I ran Xorg -configure?
| Code: | | Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. Configuration failed. |
Maybe something else is missing? I don't know where else to look though. :/

No I did not. I will do that soon. Thanks. i remember doing that before on a previous iteration of my attempt to get Gentoo linux running.
So far, I've gotten everything else going except the digitizer, so I am excited about my progress.
Thanks for all the help. I'll post back soon and let you know if it was solved or not.

I found some information on why I am having the problem I am having... I think. Since my Wacom is a serial Wacom and since the serial wacom was removed from the xf86-input-wacom. It doesn't work.
Here is the solution that I am going to try, but I'm going to try it using my Debian install and then if it works I try to fixify my Gentoo install the same way. Updates to follow.

And how it works? Can you compile the x86-input-wacom also for gentoo?
I have a X41t. My only solution to use the Tablet is a xorg.conf. |
