WACOM Bamboo Pen Tablet

[teward]

Got one of the above listed tablets. Wondering how I go about getting and installing the drivers for it so that it operates on 10.04.

System is a Dell Latitude E6500 (probably the same specs as in my sig), fully Ubuntu 10.04.

Hi TrekCaptainUSA,

See the Bamboo Pen & Touch HOW TO.

I. Install LinuxWacom's 0.8.8-8 wacom.ko (the USB kernel driver)

That 404's when i try and wget it.

Should work. It's still up on the site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxwacom/files/ unless the site is temporarily down. You could try downloading it directly onto your Desktop.

[teward]

lol I can officially blame internet lag for that. x]

I'll let it finish downloading the stuff i need then i'll get back to this and see if it worked

IV. For Lucid & Maverick you use a xsetwacom script file instead of wacomcpl and wacomcpl's .xinitrc (attached below).

Which attached file to that thread is the correct file to use/download?

Sample_Bamboo-P&T_xsetwacom-scripts.tar.gz

Since you're not using xorg.conf use the wacom.conf script and use the "Device Names" that:

xinput --list

returns for you.

Got to this part, got lots of errors in it, with properties not existing, or faild requests.

But up to the point of the custom script needing to be run...

IT WORKS!

Thanks for the help.

er, whoops.

I ran the .xsetwacom.sh... and now i cant click.

A restart seemed to rectify the issue, but I believe that you do not need to run the .xsetwacom.sh script if you have just the pen version... or did I miss somethign?

With the Pen version you just need the stylus section in the script. Not the other 3 sections because you don't have the eraser, touch, or pad. So just remove those sections.
