Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch Series Development

[TechGeek22]

I followed the instructions in the first post for my CTH-661 (bamboo fun pen and touch) on Karmic (2.6.31-20-generic). Needed to set the bottom x and y.

After setting, the touch used the fill size of the pad but if you move your finger faster is looses tracking... I assume this has to do with switching to gesture interpretation... Can this be adjusted?

After a reboot touch doesn't work. and I need to restart the driver with:

sudo modprobe -r wacom
sudo modprobe wacom

Please let me know if I can provide anything else to "help you help me"...

TechGeek> These are my observations as well. The touch does seem to "lose track" if you move too fast. It's just that way. And yes, I have to do the

sudo modprobe -r wacom; sudo modprobe wacom

as well on reboot.

Before you do the modprobe commands, did you check to see if the wacom module is loaded?

lsmod|grep wacom

If it is not there, you can add it to the /etc/modules file and it should load it automatically when you boot.

Does this mean it's loaded?

user@my-desktop:~$ lsmod|grep wacom
wacom 36584 0

Yes.

I managed to get my bamboo touch working on Lucid (no gestures but everything else checks out)

Hello.
I have a problem with Bamboo P&T on Karmic. I installed linuxwacom-0.8.5-11 from source and did all the things from the first post, but still have nothing no pen, no eraser, no touch.

usbcore: registered new interface driver wacom
wacom: v1.52-pc-0.4:USB Wacom tablet driver
usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 13
usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
input: Wacom BambooFun 2FG 6x8 Pen as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.2/usb4/4-2/4-2:1.0/input/input24
input: Wacom BambooFun 2FG 6x8 Finger as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.2/usb4/4-2/4-2:1.1/input/input25
device input24 is bound to the driver
device input25 is bound to the driver
must rebind

means driver is ok, I suppose. But I have nothing on /dev/input/event* and /dev/input/wacom*
What can I do to help myself and linuxwacom?

Thanks.

Did you manage to get your tablet to work? I am seeing the same issue with my new Bamboo.

I get nothing when I do the following...

xxd /dev/input/event*

Thanks for the help there. I was finally able to get my tablet working. Now the question I have is how to I set it for left handed use? I'm a lefty and I feel akward trying to avoid the buttons. Give it to me line by line in terminal please. BTW there is a new driver linuxwacom-0.8.5-12 now. Just thought I would let you know

Hi SimbaStovall,

For lefties see 4) in post #384. Actually the production version 0.8.6 is out. I'm sort of hoping someone will comment on it and compare it to the last development versions like -11 & -12.
