Hi,
I am using an usb wacom tabled, but I can't make it work. I have compiled kernel modules:
CONFIG_TABLET_USB_WACOM=y
CONFIG_HID_WACOM=y
CONFIG_HID_WACOM_POWER_SUPPLY=y

Then, I have added entry to make.conf:
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse wacom"

But the flag "wacom" is disabled in xorg-drivers:
Code:
[ebuild   R    ] x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.14  INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse -acecad -aiptek -elographics -fpit -hyperpen -joystick -mutouch -penmount -synaptics -tslib (-vmmouse) -void (-wacom)" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev (-apm) (-ast) (-chips) (-cirrus) -dummy -epson (-fglrx) (-geode) (-glint) (-i128) (-i740) (-intel) (-mach64) (-mga) -modesetting (-neomagic) (-nouveau) (-nv) (-nvidia) -omap -omapfb (-qxl) (-r128) (-radeon) (-radeonsi) (-rendition) (-s3virge) (-savage) (-siliconmotion) -sisusb (-sunbw2) (-suncg14) (-suncg3) (-suncg6) (-sunffb) (-sunleo) (-suntcx) (-tdfx) (-tga) (-trident) (-tseng) -v4l (-vesa) (-via) (-virtualbox) (-vmware) (-voodoo)" 0 kB


How can I check why it is disabled, and how to change it? Btw. my system is on ARM cpu.

regards,
guillain

guillain,

Code:
(-wacom)
means that its forced off in your profile. Maybe its known to be broken?

You can override this in /etc/portage probably in use.mask. Read
Code:
man portage

As usual, if it breaks, you can keep all the pieces.

This is not USE flag, but INPUT_DEVICE. But thanks, I will try to enable it this way.

I have checked the content of /etc, there is no word "wacom" inside.
Code:
$ cd /etc
$ grep -r "wacom" *
$

Where are stored rules regarding profiles?

guillain,

Try creating the file /etc/portage/profiles/use.mask
Add the lines
Code:
# enable the wacom driver
-wacom


That enables wacom to be set globally.
For per package changes, the file is package.use.mask.

All this does is remove the () from (wacom) so you have control of it.
