New Wacom Bamboo not working

[portets]

I have a Wacom Baboo P&T and tried the steps in post 144. Everything seems okay up to copying the wacom.ko file from src/2.6.28. Copying the file doesn't work because there is no .ko file in that directory. I am using 2.6.31-20-generic. There is no .ko file in src/2.6.31 either.

I don't really understand what I am doing with these instructions, but I am capable of following them. If anyone could explain why/where things are going wrong I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

i think those are old instructions. follow the first post in: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1321238&page=1

also, i think the thread i posted right there is meant to replace this one, so if you have any questions, post them there.

hey all.
i've got the bamboo pen. i followed the instructions on this post and got the tablet working perfectly.
a few days later i ran an update, and it's messed again and doesn't work :S
i've scanned about ten pages on from that post in this thread, but i seem to get lost with what people are talking about :S
is there a way to fix this?

(on another note, compiz has also become massively laggy after this update. not sure if that's relevant or not)

when ubuntu installs a new kernel update, you need to reinstall the driver. specifically, you need to move the "wacom.ko" file into the new kernel's place. if you don't know what that means, read the post right above you. if you do know what that means, read the post right above you.

the slow compiz is most likely unrelated.

hmm, ok i've got the tablet in a semi-working state now.
the scrolling bug that some have had has now appeared.
(it scrolls up when the pen is over the surface)

Allright after 3 tries I finally did it right. I kept leaving parts out I guess. So I got my Bamboo pen to work using these instructions.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 on a G4 powerpc it only has two USB drives and I use a usb hub to create more. I had to plug the tablet into the first port in the hub to get it to work.

Thanks

My tablet goes a bit slow doesn't keep up with my hand. Any advice on speeding it up?

[Sonicgoo]

allright so I noticed that if I leave the tablet plugged in I get some huge log files. Any one else have this happen.

Alright I unpack the linuxwacom-0.8.5-10.tar.bz2 switch to its directory then do the

sudo make

Any advice or did I fsck it royally? Please help! This is the only thing stopping me from migrating over to Ubuntu fully from Windows.

Someone test Wacom Baboo P&T in Lucid? It's works?

You are missing some compiling dependencies. You might try the following:

sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-input-wacom

and then try compiling it again.
