WOW! Works! Thanks :)

Just going to re-enable mice and get rid of top/bottom settings :)


now, re-enable it but substitute /dev/input/mice with /dev/input/mouseX (wherever your actual mouse is).



to enable the eraser. you have to uncomment this one:

Code:
#Section "InputDevice"
#    Driver "wacom"
#    Identifier "eraser"
#    Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
#    Option "Type" "eraser"
#    Option "USB" "on"
#    Option "Vendor" "WACOM"
#EndSection

Yes, I've done both of those (mice works fine), but as for the eraser gimp detects it in its configure extended input devices dialog but it has the same behaviour as the stylus (pen). Only minor since I have shift E

Hi, I got my Wacom working flawlessly, but: I would like to lock it to one scrren. So I've got a two Screen (Nvidia-->TwinView) Setup and tried to
add the
following options to my stlyus device section
Option "Twinview" "horizontal"
Option "TVResolution" "1280x1024,1280x1024"
Option "ScreenNo" "1"

I first had vertical, because somhow I found that more logical, anyways, these options work, as far as the stylus pen being locked to the 2. screen. But Gimp does not regocnize it anymore as stylus. So something is wrong..

How do I get the numbers for TopY TopX BottomX BottomY options?
Or what is the "real" way of doing what I want to do?

TopX, BottomX, ... afaik refers to how much of the wacom pad maps to the screen (i.e which values returned from the driver are the lowest X or highest X)

I had the same problem... But i can't solve it...

Where do you find the evdev.c in the latest linuxwacom ?
Do i have to paste them in /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/input ? And after to compile my kernel again ?

I have a 2.6.13 and can't use another because there is a bug with my laptop and new gentoo-sources...

Thanks for your help and this very good howto ! and sorry for my bad english...

http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/ -> you download the latest sources package -> in src/2.6.XX (XX being the latest kernel available)

Then doing as I said should hopefully solve your problem.

sorry, I meant hid-core.c and wacom.c. my bad :roll:

if you're using 2.6.13, I recommend that you pick them from linuxwacom-0.7.3/src/2.6.13/

Oups !!! I had to be too tired :S I read the good thing but understand it badly :S (it would be that + my bad english :S)
Sorry... :S :?

PS : Do you know a program to write with the tablet ?
Not write and "translate" for computer but just write and save it like an image... Like gimp but easier and where we can have more than 1 sheet of paper ?
The best thing would be openoffice or something like that but where i can "draw"...

It's because i have to do a lot of mathematics and it's easier for me to put them like that ...

(I hope you'll undersand myself...)

EDIT : I found xounal, jarnal & gournal... It's what i was looking for ! :) (but it's not in portage :( )

I actually just got an account on these forums because of this tutorial. Feel free to take that as a compliment, CRV§ADER.

Just wanted to toss in my $0.02 here. Just got an Intuos 3 6 x 8" PTZ going with this on the latest beta wacom drivers (0.7.3-1) and 2.6.15-gentoo-r7 kernel. Awesome. I'd been banging my head against this problem for a solid week now.


Also, cheers for the extended tutorial for GIMP pressure sensitivity. Works perfectly. :D

Thanks muchly!

sorry, I've got xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6. Try looking on the linuxwacom forum on sourceforge.

PostPosted: Wed Apr 26, 2006 4:45 am    Post subject: fontforge and wacom Reply with quote

Hello,

I followed the HOW-TO and everything works fine (Gimp, cursor in X, drawing ....). I installed fontforge because I need to edit fonts. In fontforge however, when I click on any of the character I got following message:
Code:
Executable based on sources from 22:35 8-Apr-2006-ML.
Recovering from /home/jan/.PfaEdit/autosave/auto0062e7-1.asfd...  Done
Error connecting to wacom tablet. Sometimes linux fails to configure
 it properly. Try typing
$ su
# insmod wacom
X Error of failed request: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device
  Major opcode of failed request:  146.3 (XInputExtension)
  Serial number of failed request:  18103
  Failed resource ID:  0


I googled for a while and found one post on pfaedit-devel forum. The post over there says that X is not properly configured but doesn't say how to configure it properly.
My xorg.conf is as follows:
Code:

....
....
Section "InputDevice"
        Driver        "wacom"
        Identifier    "stylus"
        Option        "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
        Option        "Type"          "stylus"
        Option        "USB"           "on"
EndSection
...
...
Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier  "simple layout"
    Screen      "myScreen"
    InputDevice "myMouse" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "myKeyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection


Any ideas how entries in xorg.conf should look like ?
