HOW TO Set Up a Wacom Serial Tablet in Ubuntu

[Graiden]

Jellysheep, it works for me too. And what about buttons? All works right?

Just a note: Doesn't work with my Motion LE1600. The old code didn't work with it either.

Hi iconnor,

Tablet PC's use Wacom ISDV4 serial digitizers. Those are different from the serial Wacom tablets we are talking about on this thread.

Likely your problem is the one discussed on post #354: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...&postcount=354

Hi,
now I can also confirm the driver working for Graphire under Arch Linux (is this offtopic?). Buttons and pressure detection works, but in GIMP it doesnt switch automagically between stylus and eraser (even with button&8 ), like it does under Ubuntu. A usb to serial converter works however.

No, that is not off topic. Other Distros count too and it is good that you reported on Arch. Thank you, that may be the first one on Arch. Don't recall another one off hand anyway.

hi
i have a wacom digitizer 11 0608-r. will these drivers work on xubuntu 12.04 ? 64 bit

i also have a wacom digitizer 11 1218-r will the same driver work for both digitizers.

Hi klein de usa,

I think the protocol IV serio driver should work for both.

hi Favux

i have two of these 0608-r's and one 1218-r later to night i might try this on xubuntu 12.04 and ubuntu 10.04.

i also ran across this when googling http://forum.bongofish.co.uk/index.php?topic=1942.0 might try this with the 1218-r

hay Favux

0608-r on xubuntu 12.04

i'm finding this thad to follow what i have done:

when't here
http://www.cipht.net/2011/07/02/waco...l-release.html

and downloaded
wacom_serial-120327-1.tar.bz2

extracted it to /home/user

did
sudo apt-get update

did
sudo apt-get install build-essential libx11-dev libxi-dev x11proto-input-dev xserver-xorg-dev libxrandr-dev libncurses5-dev xutils-dev autoconf libtool pkg-config libudev-dev

did
sudo apt-get upgrade

changed line 49 in wacom_serial.c (d to e)

changed line 129 in serio-ids.h (d to e)


then i lost as to what to do next ?

Next you do "a) Download and compile the protocol 4 wacom_serial.ko - by tokenrove".

Follow that with "Using inputattach with the new kernel module". Use:

inputattach --wacom_iv /dev/ttyS0

Provided the tablet is on ttyS0.
