    Re: HOW TO Set Up the Bamboo Pen & Touch in Lucid

    Hi robyshot,

    Yes. It's due to a kernel update (or maybe kernel headers update). The new kernel has a new modules directory in which the default modules for that releases' kernel will be installed. Since the default wacom.ko doesn't work that means you have to recompile linuxwacom against the new kernel for a working wacom.ko.

    This is kind of a pain when a release is fresh out since kernel updates can be fairly frequent. But that settles down quickly and the kernels come less and less often.

    The good news is you don't have to clone the git repository for the xf86-input-wacom since the kernel has no effect on it.

    Ha, we must of cross-posted. I didn't see your second issue.

    If I'm following you it's sounding like the wacom driver doesn't have your stylus. More like evdev does and has set it up as a mouse or something. Does the stylus work correctly anywhere? Like in Gimp or something?

    What's the output in a terminal of:
    Code:
    xinput --list
    and?:
    Code:
    xsetwacom list

    Alright, I'm not sure what's going on. The xinput looks normal and the xsetwacom list shows the wacom drivers have the tablet. The tablet works normally in Windows (to rule out a hardware problem)?

    Let's see what the output of:
    Code:
    xinput list-props "Wacom Bamboo Craft Pen stylus"
    shows us.

    OK, so started with Maverick and the default 0.10.8 xf86-input-wacom. You didn't clone the xf86-input-wacom git repository, did you? You did compile the 0.8.8-9 linuxwacom for the wacom.ko, correct?

    Did you install a xsetwacom script? Could I see what you're using?

    The list-props looks OK. But:

    I'm not sure what the FLOAT line is telling us. 1 should be on. But if the stylus was floated it wouldn't be working. So I'm assuming in this context it means the device is enabled, i.e. float is off.

    Also wondering about:
    Code:
    Wacom Hover Click (254):        1
    which seems to mean TPCButton is "off" not on (i.e. you are in hover mode), which may be the problem and one of the reasons why I want to look at your xsetwacom script.

    Hi robyshot,

    with another user on the same pc the tablet works right
    Probably an important clue.

    I don't think your xsetwacom script is being applied because you are using the wrong "Device names". They are, from your 'xinput --list':

    stylus = Wacom Bamboo Craft Pen stylus

    eraser = Wacom Bamboo Craft Pen eraser

    touch = Wacom Bamboo Craft Finger touch

    pad = Wacom Bamboo Craft Finger pad

    You then enclose it in quotes, so in a xsetwacom command:
    Code:
    xsetwacom set stylus Suppress "2"  # data trimmed, 0-100
    becomes
    Code:
    xsetwacom set "Wacom Bamboo Craft Pen stylus" Suppress "2"  # data trimmed, 0-100
    and so on. Try changing the script to the appropriate device names and rerunning it or restarting. Let's see what that does.
