Thanks, that succeeds. Still the same though, no eraser. I also don't get hot-plugging, it will only function if it is plugged in when I boot.
At least it is working....
I get warnings, but it does say it succeeded, so I assume they are not important:-Don't know if it makes a difference, but I need an xorg.conf for proper monitor resolution and I have these entries in it:-linuxwacom-0.8.5-9$ patch -p2 < linuxwacom-0.8.5-9-2.patch

I have two entries for 'cursor' and 'eraser' in wacomcpl and in Gimp preferences, perhaps there is a conflict somewhere?

Hi stoneage,
The double entries are normal, don't worry about them. As a rule it's best to either use a wacom.fdi or the xorg.conf, not both. You can do it but it is tricky.
You have two sections you don't need and serial lines in the sections you do need. It should look like this:
The sections may not be doing anything if you have not put in a udev wacom.rules to establish the symlinks. You probably also need the wacom lines in the "ServerLayout". See post #384.Code:Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "stylus" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "stylus" Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "eraser" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "eraser" Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY EndSection
Hi Favux and thanks for your help.
I edited the xorg.conf, I had already copied the 60-wacom.rules to /lib/udev/rules.d/40-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules, but I'm afraid it is still the same, no eraser, no hotplugging.
What is the "ServerLayout" you mentioned?
Edit - Favux I'm slightly embarrassed - I have the Bamboo Pen (CTL - 460), there is no eraser ?
In that case it works as expected, apart from the hotplugging. I guess I can attach a module reload script to a panel button for now.Bamboo Touch (CTT460) touch, pad
Product ID = 0xd0
Bamboo Pen (CTL460) stylus
Product ID = 0xd4
Bamboo Pen & Touch (CTH460) stylus, eraser, pad, touch
Product ID = 0xd1
Hi stoneage,
You don't get hot plugging with the xorg.conf. That was one of the prime motivations to go to HAL/.fdi. You could try the old "hot plug" commands: ctrl-alt-F1 followed by ctrl-alt-F7.
Somebody will get a stylus with eraser for the Pen. I'm pretty sure the eraser will work.
Oh, then I didn't have any problem at all.....
The old commands don't seem to work, but
does, so if I put them in a bash script and attach it to a panel button I'll be fine.Code:sudo modprobe -r wacom sudo modprobe wacom
Thanks for your help, if it weren't for people like you I might have taken the 'stupid thing' back to the shop to beg for a refund.
hi kgingeri,
I've just configure my Bamboo Pen with you help. I've kubuntu 9.10 and I've finished at this point:
EDIT: Typo in next file name - missed "Favux_..." - how could I!?
(NOTE: the destination file would be /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-wacom.fdi for Jaunty.Code:# cp Favux_Bamboo-Pen\&Touch-working_10-wacom.fdi.txt /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-linuxwacom.fdi
Also, be sure there is only one wacom file in that directory - if you have both, 'rm' the one you don't need!)
The next steps are not necessary for me. I tried installing following another thread without luck. I had another .fdi file that didn't work.
Well after much time and deliberation I finally got my Wacom Bamboo Touch(CTT-460) working. I would like to simply use it as a mouse as opposed to graphic editing. However I am having a number of issues with the setting.
1. The mouse moves too slowly across the screen.
2. The movement of the cursor seems really choppy.
3. I have yet to figure out what the buttons on my pad do and I have no idea how to reconfigure them to do what I want.
If someone could help me tweak the settings for my pad, it would be greatly appreciated. I have read posts about changing certain settings but I do not understand them.
Thanks in advance.

I have since updated my video driver but i still have the same problem.

Hi Evon,
Welcome to Ubuntu forums!
Since you have Xserver 1.6.4 I assume you are in Karmic.
There are multiple errors in your xorg.conf. Rather than go through all of them look at the xorg.conf's in post #384.
It looks like you have nVidia video. If so instead of:
in "ServerLayout" you'd comment it out (#) and use the two lines above it:Code:Identifier "X.org Configured"
Hope this is helpful.Code:Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen"
