New Wacom Bamboo not working
Attention everyone! this post is outdated, if you don't want to read the whole thread go to post #541
I know there are some other wacom posts but I have been unable to find a solution after trying out multiple installation guides. I am running ubuntu (with kde and ubuntu-studio packages installed, probably won't make a differnece) 9.04 64-bit. I may try upgrading to karmic to see if I can get it to work.
I just got the new wacom bamboo pen & touch in the post this morning but I am unable to get it working.
The site
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom
says it should be hot-pluggable, but it definately is not.
I have looked at this guide:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...48#post3728548
and changed the .fdi file as shown on:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...page=18%20#176
And I have followed the detailed instructions on:
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/main
This is how far I have got:
I have compiled and installed from linuxwacom-0.8.3-6 (dev version) after trying the stable version. Installation of the driver and tools worked fine.
However, I have tried using wacdump on all the /dev/input/event* and none of them work when I touch the tablet with my finger or stylus or press any of the buttons. I also do not have a /dev/input/wacom file even though I have added the udev rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/ as shown on:
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/in...howto/newwacom
This is the output from /var/log/messages after unloading and reloading the driver using rmmod wacom and modprobe wacom and then unplugging and replugging my tablet.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help :)
P.S the new wacom supports multi-touch so if anyone knows how to get this working as wall that would be great!
Re: New Wacom Bamboo not working
Hi TheguywholikesLINUX,
Right now the new multi-touch tablet touch features aren't supported. Ping Cheng, the LWP's lead developer, has another project going and says he won't be able to code touch in for a while. He's hoping someone else will step up and help out.
As you realized the linuxwacom in Jaunty, 0.8.2-2, is too old to recognize your tablet. In the source code the wcmUSB.c has a table of Vendor and Product ID's which your tablet doesn't seem to be in. Vendor for Wacom is 56a so with "ID 056a:00d1 Wacom Co., Ltd" your Product ID is probably '00d1'. You could check that in your 'lshal' or "lshah>lshal.txt".
I just looked at the latest, linuxwacom 0.8.4-3, for '00d1' in wcmUSB.c and it doesn't seem to have it yet either. You can look for yourself in "linuxwacom-0.8.4-3/src/xdrv/wcmUSB.c". But I know Ping at the LWP said he'd be adding it. So if it isn't in there it should be shortly, most likely with 0.8.4-4. That should at least support the Bamboo part of your tablet.
Some others have posted about the multi-touch tablets at LWP's forums general discussion and development traffic linked here: http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/main That should let you know how things stand currently.
Good luck!

See Ayuthia's thread "Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch Series Development". Right now he's using ob1kenobi's patches submitted to the Linux Wacom Project (LWP) on linuxwacom 0.8.5-9.
And his even newer patches on post #818.

Re: New Wacom Bamboo not working
Thank you.
I can wait a bit for the multi-touch, but I would really like it if I can get the pen working until the multi-touch comes out. I will check the link and see what I can find. I have also attacked lshal.txt. (I bz2'ed it because it was to big is a .txt)
Re: New Wacom Bamboo not working
Hi TheguywholikesLINUX,
In text editor doing Find with 'wacom' on your lshal.txt pulls up three sections with:
Code:
usb.product = 'USB HID Interface' (string)
usb.product_id = 209 (0xd1) (int)
usb.speed = 12.0 (12) (double)
usb.vendor = 'Wacom Co., Ltd' (string)
usb.vendor_id = 1386 (0x56a) (int)
usb.version = 2.0 (2) (double)
Using Find to search the 0.8.4-3 wcmUSB.c for '0xd1' still pulls up nothing. So I guess it isn't in there yet.
I suppose you could try 'patching' wcmUSB.c manually with the product ID and then compiling linuxwacom if you can't wait a few weeks. I'd check the LWP's forums first before trying that.
Re: New Wacom Bamboo not working
Favux, or others, I also have had no luck. I've emailed Ping as well but here's my info for reference and in case you can help ;)
The following is what I've sent Ping...
(note my tablet's ID is 0xD4 so is likely not in source yet either so I think I'll have a go at the wcmUSB.c file - sounds like something that might work. These tablets are supposed to be Graphire compatible - I think.)

I am having a heck of a time with a new "Wacom Bamboo Pen" (only) Model: CTL-460 tablet.
I am running Ubuntu Remix on a Acer One Netbooks
It does have with a hard/software mod for the Egalax TouchKit screen (USB finger touch surface, added on top of the LCD)
I mention the touch screen in case it could be interfering somehow?!
I am getting device recognition but no data anywhere.
I've followed many HowTo's include wacomlinux.org (although many locations for modules etc are wrong for Ubuntu) but still no joy :v)
Packages, configs and compiles all seem fine and in line with HowTo's - except when it comes to getting any raw data to show up.
X will not do anything with the device, even with xorg.conf modifed.
The following are all the specifics:
--- The xorg.conf lines for the existing touch screen are:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "EETI"
Driver "egalax"
Option "Device" "usbauto"
Option "Parameters" "/var/lib/eeti.param"
Option "ScreenNo" "0"
Option "SkipClick" "1"
EndSection
NOTE: I did comment these out but have not tried disconnecting it (requires laptop disassembly)

- I sometimes get a "Segmentation fault" running "wacdump /dev/input/event12" the first time, but not after that
- My USB tablet works just fine on my Mac OSX computer, so it's not a hardware issue.
- All USB ports on my Linux computer work fine - never any hint of trouble.
- have also tried the Beta - linuxwacom-0.8.3-6

Re: New Wacom Bamboo not working
Hi kgingeri,
So basically Jaunty? Yep, 0xd4 isn't in there either.
I'd try one of the two Bamboo locations. The format seems straight forward:
Code:
{ 0x17, 2540, 2540, &usbBambooFun }, /* BambooFun 4x5 */
{ 0x18, 2540, 2540, &usbBambooFun }, /* BambooFun 6x8 */
{ 0x19, 2032, 2032, &usbBamboo1 }, /* Bamboo1 Medium*/
{ 0x81, 2032, 2032, &usbGraphire4 }, /* Graphire4 6x8 BlueTooth */
You just need to know the Y and X resolution.
This HOW TO might be of some help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1038949
Good luck!
Re: New Wacom Bamboo not working
Thx for the howto Favux, and the quick reply!
I'll let you know if I am successful. :D
Re: New Wacom Bamboo not working
Hi kgingeri,
I sure hope you are and while I remember: Welcome to Ubuntu Forums!
To help you once you've established usb communications see post #176 here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=967147&page=18 The .fdi there should be useful.
Re: New Wacom Bamboo not working
Yupper, bin there and done that - thx again.
Also, just to side track for a moment, thx for the welcome too! I really like the attitude on this forum - very friendly and non-competitive and patiently helpful. So many get upset when users don't search properly bad-mouth noobs etc. I think I'll enjoy my stay! :)
As I said I'll post back my results - hopefully it I can be a help to others also :)
Re: New Wacom Bamboo not working
Here's a response from the Wacomlinux mail-list already!

This bamboo pen is a new device. So its a bit of a gamble with adding
the ID entries in the source. If the tablet speaks a protocol known
from an earlier device and you have guessed it right, it may work, but
there are no guarantees. I don't think using GRAPHIRE for the protocol
for this device has highest probability of success tho. I suggest
trying with WACOM_MO, like the rest of the bamboos. If the difference
is just device number, It might work, but does not have to. If it does
not, somebody needs to find out what the new protocol is and implement
it.

I dont think the touch hack infulences wacom in any way.

Trying to talk the wrong protocol can cause that. Probably you have
some errors in dmesg from wacom driver because of this.
