Re: Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch Series Development
Hi nossifer,
We need to look at the output of:
and
Please sepecify which .fdi you're using. Also did you remember to copy the newly compiled wacom.ko into place?
We should also look at your lshal. In a terminal:
Code:
lshal>nossifer_lshal.txt
Compress it by right clicking on it and Create Archive. Then upload it to your post with Manage Attachments.

Hi Favux.
I did the instructions on Post 1 and it had instructions to copy that .ko file. The .fdi is the same one as used in the 5-10. The rest of the stuff you asked for is attached (including an error message)
EDIT: I am going to try back on my normally used laptop (XPS). I can post back the results, and if you like include a similar attachment if it helps you diagnose stuff.
Re: Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch Series Development
Hi nossifer,
I'm out the door (way late) but it's looking like in your lshal the new .fdi (that's what you're using right?) is making a hash of things.
I'll look at it later. In the mean time you could try the new-working .fdi on post #384.

Hi,
Tried the new-working, and it seems to behave similarly: no touch. The stylus is working, and that will keep carpal away. Touch is a bonus and the gestures is really the super-bonus. Have a great weekend.
Re: Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch Series Development
Hi nossifer,
With the new-working do you see eraser in xsetwacom? With it xsetwacom should look something like:
Code:
stylus stylus
eraser eraser
touch touch
pad pad
Basically what's happening with the default wacom.fdi in 0.8.5-10 is it is not distinguishing between the two usb channels labeled with udi's (unique device identifiers) that differ by containing 'if0' or 'if1'. In other words there should be two separate usb pci by-paths. But the .fdi is treating them as one so the info.callout to hal-setup-wacom is duplicating everything. The lshal shows two each of stylus, eraser, cursor, pad, and touch. A mess.
And bizarrely your webcam is showing up as:
Which is something we are also just seeing with N-trig using linuxwacom 0.8.5-9. Maybe something is messed up in the linuxwacom code also?
So I need you to post a repeat of all the diagnostics like before, this time using the new-working .fdi. It would also help if you could include the 'Xorg.0.log' which is in '/var/log'. That'll also need to be compressed. That may tell us if another driver is grabbing touch and that's why you are not seeing it.

this is so confusing. Lol, not really. Anyways, since there's another new release, I'll try it as sson as possibe and post my results. What kernel directory should I take the new wacom.ko driver out of this time.

Hi texaswriter,
It still should be 2.6.27.
Re: Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch Series Development
Hi
I've just started with Bamboo Fun Pen&Touch A5. Yetserday I've done all what was in the very first post of this thread. All went fine. Today I see there's new version (0.8.5-10) and I did the same as yesterday but with this new version.
Now, this is my problem:

Some helpful xsetwacom commands
To set your touch so that it works like a mouse touchpad:
Code:
xsetwacom set touch Mode Relative
To set the resolution of your touch (Example is for the medium sized tablet -- the small is X=480 Y=320):
Code:
xsetwacom set touch bottomx 740
xsetwacom set touch bottomy 500
To turn the touch on/off:
Code:
xsetwacom set touch Touch off
xsetwacom set touch Touch on
When I try any of these commands I get:
Code:
michal@michal-desktop:~$ xsetwacom set touch Touch off
Error (2): WacomConfigOpenDevice: No such device
Set: Failed to open device 'touch'
Is something changed in this version, or I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks for great effort to make this stuff work!
Re: Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch Series Development
Hi mmiicc,
Welcome to the thread!
That's what nossifer and myself are trying to figure out. I assume your pen is working along with eraser? See the last few posts by us.
Either we need to change the .fdi somehow or 0.8.5-10 has broken touch and maybe the pad (tablet buttons).
Re: Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch Series Development
Actually, now I can't configure GIMP to work well. Pen works just like mouse. Yesterday I've got working both pen and eraser.
Update:
Alexia Death helped me with "touch" thing. I had to use:
Code:
xsetwacom set "Wacom BambooFun 2FG 6x83 touch" Touch off
instead of
Code:
xsetwacom set touch Touch off
Another update:
I've managed to configure GIMP. Pen and eraser works. :)
After another unplug and plug "Wacom BambooFun 2FG 6x83 touch" changed to "Wacom BambooFun 2FG 6x85 touch".
