IBM Thinkpad X61t - Wacom Tablet Stylus not working

[sege]

Hey there,

I got a little problem setting up my new IBM Thinkpad X61 TABLET.

Everything runs fine. The only problem is the Wacom stylus.

I have set up a serial port for the wacom device via init script

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x0200 irq 5 autoconfig

Code: Select all

wacdump /dev/ttyS0

gives me some weird output, but when I do

Code: Select all

wacdump /dev/ttyS0 -f tpc

everything runs fine and i can get the stylus position on the screen and the pressure and more...

my xorg.conf looks like this:

Code: Select all

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0

        Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"
EndSection

but xorg output gives me the following errors:

Code: Select all

Can somebody help me with this issue ?

I got it fixed now after endless trial and error.

The solution for me was: unmerging linuxwacom and downloading the latest sources (0.8.0-1) from http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/ and installing them by hand.

Now the stylus is working and i can move the cursor and klick and such things...

Hello, Would you mind posting your whole xorg.conf?

Of course not. Here you go:

The solution for me was to get The newest WACOM drivers (0.80).
The module for WACOM seemed not to work for the 0.78 because Xorg was complaining about a missing WACOM module.

I'm also planning to upgrade my drivers to 0.80 (from the ones in portage) for my X61t. However, I see a message when the drivers begin to compile:

Code: Select all

 * Versions of linuxwacom >= 0.7.9 require gcc >= 4.2 to compile.

What version of GCC did you use to compile the drivers on our system? Is using gcc-4.2.x relatively safe system-wide?

[Inimi]

I used the stable GCC 4.1.2. (2008 Profile)
I didn't require any gcc updates.
