HOWTO: Wacom in 8.04 Hardy

[TirxSg3ng]

Alright you have X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90. I think that's too early for a .fdi to work for you.

It looks like maybe the by-path isn't quite right for you. Let's see if we can find it:

dmesg | grep Wacom

and

ls -l /dev/input/by-path

Let's also check for your product ID:

lsusb | grep [Ww]acom

dmesg | grep Wacom

tir@tir-486:/dev/input/by-path$ dmesg | grep Wacom
[   23.476238] input: Wacom Bamboo 4x5 Pen as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/input/input8
[   23.510633] input: Wacom Bamboo 4x5 Finger as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.1/input/input9
[   23.520513] wacom: v1.52-pc-0.3:USB Wacom tablet driver

This is the content of by-path:

tir@tir-486:/dev/input/by-path$ ls -l

And my product id:

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 056a:00d4 Wacom Co., Ltd

Good, it's definitely a Bamboo Pen, product ID 00d4.

Try this by-path:

	Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.1-usb-0:1:1.0-event-mouse

For some more stuff see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...&postcount=384 The Bamboo P&T HOW TO is for Lucid and Maverick, so it doesn't really apply to you. But has some information that may be of use.

i know this thread is a bit old but i have a problem

the only thing that works on my wacom are the mouse buttons. i got an error with the ./install for the drivers.

i got this error

Error: Failed to get system architecture Reason: uname, with options -i, -p, and -m, doesn't work properly

this is the powerpc version of hardy.

i have attached the requested files

*edit never mind just had to uninstall mouse emu
