PostPosted: Fri Nov 03, 2017 1:17 pm    Post subject: my kernel won't detect wacom tablet Reply with quote

My table use wacom as its touchscreen and I have problems to install driver for it .
Here is what i have done .
1. Kernel configuration
I used "genkernel all "to compile ,i also tried to configure kernel manually with wacom enable but nothing worked
2. driver
I installed driver by
" emerge -a xf86-input-wacom" and "emerge -a libwacom"
3. driver configure

I can't find my wacom touchscreen in /dev
Here is my " cat /proc/bus/input/devices"

This device work fine with another linux distro with sipped kernel and lib .
Here is "cat /proc/bus/input/devices " in another linux distro
Code:

. Thus i think it might be my kernel problem.

ANY ideas ?

The correct way is add wacom in variable INPUT_DEVICES on make.conf and then
Code:
# emerge -UD @world

i did
echo "INPUT_DEVICES=\"wacom\"" >> /etc/portage/make.conf && emerge -UD @world
and it updated 13 packages ,
i also rebooted and tried modprobe wacom .
that device just won't work .

did i miss something ?!

Did you enable the correct kernel driver? Your post is extremely hard to read.

Code:
# zgrep -i wacom /proc/config.gz
# CONFIG_TABLET_SERIAL_WACOM4 is not set
# CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_WACOM_W8001 is not set
# CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_WACOM_I2C is not set
CONFIG_HID_WACOM=y

Code:
# grep -i input /etc/portage/make.conf
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev wacom"

The important bits here are "CONFIG_HID_WACOM=y" and "INPUT_DEVICES="wacom"
AFAIK all reasonably new wacom tablets (both, touchscreens and graphic tables alike) use HID driver.
Enabling those 2 things should be enough to get your tablet to work, though I had to apply Xorg config with "active area", "presscurve", and "tpcbutton" before I was happy with the results. Still, this config is a matter of convenience rather than necessity.

Sorry for this , it is my first post .
Here is my kernel config with wacom
Code:
device driver >> input divice driver >> tablet >> <M>   Wacom protocol 4 serial tablet support

device driver >> input divice driver >> touchscreen
      <M>   Wacom W8001 penabled serial touchscreen                       
           <M>   Wacom Tablet support (I2C)

. i also got "modprobe wacom" and modprobe -r wacom " ready to use .

when i run"xsetwacom --list devices" , nothing came out .
so i think it is still some kind kernel problem !!!

thanks for your help bro , but this problem is still exist

Code:
zgrep -i wacom /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_TABLET_SERIAL_WACOM4=m
CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_WACOM_W8001=m
CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_WACOM_I2C=m
CONFIG_HID_WACOM=m


I compiled kernel twice with "m" or "y" . just nothing work
Code:
grep -i input /etc/portage/make.conf
INPUT_DEVICES="wacom keyboard mouse evdev"

then i did "emerge -a -DU @world" and reboot



by the way .
nothing happened when i run "xsetwacom --list devices "
the system still won't detect this devices i think . .

Oh wow, I just noticed this:[code]
P: Phys=i2c-WCOM4822:00
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.1/i2c_designware.1/i2c-8/i2c-WCOM4822:00/0018:056A:4822.0008/input/input19
You screen is not a USB one. It appears to be connected to I2C bus. 8O
So you're gonna need those in your kernel:
[code]CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_WACOM_I2C
CONFIG_I2C_HID[/code]
Unfortunately I have no way to check whether or not those 2 are sufficient.
