Hi Zayfox and oberonking,
The Waltop tablet ID's were just committed to the xf86-input-wacom repository by merging the Waltop branch. So progress!
Not sure if that will make a difference. But since it looked possible from the Xorg.0.log that it was xf86-input-wacom, rather than Ayuthia's modified wacom.ko, that wasn't working someone should test it by cloning the git repostiory.
I finally get my Waltop tablet working in 10.4 (except Hot-Plug). So I just want to give encouragement to others: "keep trying" =) I've been searching here and searching there for the past month, and finally get this working, at 4 am !.
my tablet is working fine in 9.10 until upgrade to 10.4.
My current setup is resulted (mix and match) between this current thread, this thread , and the Ubuntu documentation
btw, I'm using PenPower's Tooya tablet (which is the Waltop Slim Tablet, i think), and with wizardpen's driver.
NOTE for GIMP user:
under Edit -> Preference -> Input Devices -> Configure Extended Input Devices. You need to disable "WALTOP International.." device, and use "wizardpen" instead.
Other than updating to latest wizardpen package (from Doctormo), i've only configure 2 files:
/etc/X11/xorg.confg
and /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wizardpen.confCode:Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "wizardpen"
Driver "wizardpen"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1:1.0-event-mouse"
Option "TopX" "103"
Option "TopY" "104"
Option "BottomX" "9989"
Option "BottomY" "6205"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
# InputDevice "WizardPen Tablet" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "wizardpen" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection
** Note that for device path, I did start out every reference as by-id, but i ended up with some being by-path. Not sure if that matters, but it worked for me. Your tablet's path will probably be different from mine. You can find out your tablet's path from my Ubuntu Documentation link i listed above.Code:Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/by-id/usb-WALTOP_International_Corp._Slim_Tablet-event-mouse"
MatchVendor "*WALTOP*|*Tablet*"
Driver "wizardpen"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1:1.0-event-mouse"
Option "TopX" "103"
Option "TopY" "104"
Option "BottomX" "9989"
Option "BottomY" "6205"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen ignore mouse dev"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1:1.0-mouse"
MatchVendor "*WALTOP*|*Tablet*"
Driver ""
EndSection
** also, I'm a linux newbie,and i've made a dumb mistake during my endless trail and error, that costed me many nights. So i wanted to highlighted it here, and hopefully no one will repeat it: The Section in xorg.conf is InputDevice and 70-wizardpen.conf is InputClass, and they accept different options/value. And Don't laugh!! ](*,)
And for those that knows how to get my tablet "become" hot-plug again, as in 9.10, please let me know!
In 9.10, as long as I plug in my usb tablet before I open up GIMP, then I can use my tablet.
In 10.4, I need to plug in my usb tablet before I turn on my laptop. *GIMP can recognize I got a "WALTOP International..." tablet, but the "wizardpen" didn't show up. And as I mentioned above, it will only work if I select "wizardpen" under the "Configure Extended Input Device"
Hi monchiron,
Welcome to Ubuntu forums!
Thanks for the WizardPen HOW TO for Waltop in Lucid!
Don't worry, no one's laughing. The .conf files in xorg.conf.d are new enough that not many are sure how they work.Quote:
The Section in xorg.conf is InputDevice and 70-wizardpen.conf is InputClass, and they accept different options/value. And Don't laugh!!
Speaking of which I think Xserver 1.7 is now set up to already assume coreevents so I think in xorg.conf you could use:
You could test it with:Code:InputDevice "wizardpen"
If you want to try it let me know if it works.Code:InputDevice "wizardpen" #"AlwaysCore"
I cloned the git repo, but how do I build it to use xf86 drivers? Running bootstrap then ./configure told me I need to use those drivers, yet I have no idea how.Quote:

Doh, how did I miss that.
Cloning now, I'll get back to you on the status, thanks Favux!
There's this section in the 50-wacom.conf:
It's letting it be picked up by evdev again.Quote:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Wacom class"
# WALTOP needs a patched kernel driver, that isn't in mainline lk yet,
# so for now just let it fall through and be picked up by evdev instead.
# MatchProduct "Wacom|WALTOP|WACOM"
MatchProduct "Wacom|WACOM"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "wacom"
EndSection
Did you switch comments, like so?:
Code:MatchProduct "Wacom|WALTOP|WACOM"
# MatchProduct "Wacom|WACOM"
No, however I just did then, stopped / started GDM, and now the tablet is not being recognized at all.
Try rebooting. Do you have an 'xinput --list' that shows the Waltop tablet? Maybe it isn't all capitalized?
