Hello all,
Trying to get my gd-0912-r to work using roaldfre's wacom_serial5.ko.

On using "sudo inputattach --wacom_v /dev/ttyS0", I get nothing i.e. after a while there's a time-out with the...

Ok, will do, but not before Thursday afternoon. I didn't bring my bamboo home and my "ancient" serial tablet never had touch..... and on top, this is a 64 bit Desktop. :P

What driver are you...

Can you be more specific, i.e. follow all the instructions and remove the fdi_patch itself or comment out lines or what?

I've got some free space left for (xtra) clean installs to test on.
Just...

Hello all and Ayuthia and favux in particular,

Have been trying to understand what actualy is happening with my bamboo.

Checking the wcm2 patches I noticed that they point to 2.6.28 kernel....

OK, but is your pen button working, now?

Daren't ask about touch and pad-buttons. :-(

Right, didn't gather from your earlier postings that you were using the patched drivers, only the .fdi file.

Did as you say (except leaving out unneeded ./configure and make) without insmodding...

This is a 32 bits install I'm using.

I don't need the xorg lines if I add wacom to "/etc/rules" which does raise some questions why it isn't being loaded on boot or hotplug.

With xorg lines I...

Right, had some time and did some testing.

Overall conclusion: Cannot stat dnsprossi's findings on karmic.

Here's what I did:

1) Installed xserver-xorg-input-all (which brings along...

This is very strange. In my first setting, i.e. with wacom-tools, xserver-xorg-input-wacom and the input-all meta package still installed, I used Favux's fdi file to no avail.

Afaik there have...

If you use the xorg lines and let xorg load the wacom and module they'll work again like I said.

Take note: I'm not sure what happens if you load the module yourself and xorg does the same....i.e....

Yes, with the xorg edit the buttons on the pen work, not the extra buttons on the pad.

The eraser works too but like stylus does, whereas touch shows up but does not work.

In short the bamboo...

Yep, there shouldn't be a need for the xorg stuff but that would require hal to generate all the needed stuff through the .fdi file.

Apparrently there's something missing there.
Might as well try...

I addition I must add that the eraser does not work at all without xorg calling the module.

Neither do touch and the buttons but they didn't before either.

Shouldn't this be defined by the fdi...

Sorry for being late but had to earn some money today. :lolflag:

I can confirm what dnprossi says:
Removing the lines in xorg.conf stops the wacom.ko loading, i.e. xorg called for the module.
...

Watch out for the error messages when you do "./configure --enable-wacom --prefix=/usr".
If all goes well, the makefile will be created.

Favux, you rock! :-D

That just worked for me....tho I must admit the result is fairly crude compared to my older wacom serial A4 pen on my desktop.....the bamboo was just for my laptop for when...

Don't be sorry. you're being a great help! :D

I tried everything in the "right" order which still leaves me with the problem of not having a udev-rules file to edit.

I suppose I could reinstall...

Almost to the letter the same...xcept I didn't "purge" but only "removed" so that might be the problem.

The cth-461 shows itself as 00d2 as well, so hopefully they're the same.
and the missing...

I didn't at first, then did later on ...... which does leave the problem of not having the linuxwacom.fdi file as well as the 40-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules not being there.
Or should they be?
...

I tried the same on Karmic for my cth-461 model. Compiling for 2.6.31 went OK but "make" needed "hid-ids" which isn't supplied by default.

So had to get that thru "wget...

Very nice HOWTO.
No frills, simple and just works on my fujitsu T3010d ..... thanks!:popcorn:
