    Re: New Wacom Bamboo not working

    READ THIS BEFORE: I followed the instructions into this link and now also the CTH460 works fine!

    Sorry for the unuseful post!

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I was an happy user of the Bamboo Fun tablet (model CTE450) with the 9.10; now I have just bought the new
    Bamboo Pen&Touch (model CTH460). When I plugged into usb the new one hasn't been recognized.
    I followed the 541 post to install an updated driver, but the CH460 tablet is still not recognized and the old one is working fine!

    I used the file Favux_Bamboo-Pen&Touch-working_10-wacom.fdi.txt
    in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-linuxwacom.fdi
    where I added the line to recognize the 00d1 device.

    What I can see from the terminal:
    it21088@IBMT60RDV:~$ lsmod | grep wacom
    it21088@IBMT60RDV:~$ wacom 24368 0 (It seems that wacom driver is loaded)

    it21088@IBMT60RDV:~$ lsusb
    Bus 002 Device 006: ID 056a:00d1 Wacom Co., Ltd (It seems that tablet CH460 is recognized!)

    it21088@IBMT60RDV:~$ xinput list --short
    "Virtual core pointer" id=0 [XPointer]
    "Virtual core keyboard" id=1 [XKeyboard]
    "Video Bus" id=2 [XExtensionKeyboard]
    "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" id=3 [XExtensionKeyboard]
    "ThinkPad Extra Buttons" id=4 [XExtensionKeyboard]
    "Sleep Button" id=5 [XExtensionKeyboard]
    "Power Button" id=6 [XExtensionKeyboard]
    "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" id=7 [XExtensionPointer]
    "Macintosh mouse button emulation" id=8 [XExtensionPointer]
    "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" id=9 [XExtensionPointer]

    The CTH460 tablet is not recognized
    Looking in Xorg.0.log I found these lines for wacom:

    it21088@IBMT60RDV:~$ grep wacom /var/log/Xorg.0.log
    (II) LoadModule: "wacom"
    (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//wacom_drv.so
    (II) Module wacom: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
    (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
    (WW) stylus: failed to open /dev/input/wacom in wcmDeviceTypeKeys.
    (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
    (WW) eraser: failed to open /dev/input/wacom in wcmDeviceTypeKeys.
    (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
    (WW) pad: failed to open /dev/input/wacom in wcmDeviceTypeKeys.
    (**) pad device is /dev/input/wacom
    (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/wacom
    Error opening /dev/input/wacom : No such file or directory
    (II) UnloadModule: "wacom"
    (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom-touch"
    (WW) touch: failed to open /dev/input/wacom-touch in wcmDeviceTypeKeys.

    But here I stop and I'm not able to make firther steps...

    Hi everyone,

    Oops!
    Community provided Bamboo support will be merged into the next unstable
    release, 0.8.5-8. In fact, we have tried to include it in 0.8.5-7. Somehow
    one of the kernel pieces were missing. Let's say you can have it next week.

    Ping
    So next week or so.

    Re: New Wacom Bamboo not working

    Hello everybody,

    Just wanna report another success...

    I have a CTH-661 (0xd3) tablet here and with linuxwacom-0.8.4-3 + the wcm2 patches + the "generic" .fdi file (Favux_new-generic_rc2_10-linuxwacom.fdi.txt) and it works like a charm on Jaunty.

    Touch and tablet buttons are not working of course but the basic stylus functionality works perfectly...

    The wacom driver is not automatically loaded when I plug in the tablet though, so I added it to /etc/modules... Isn't hal supposed to take care of that as well?

    Anyway, thanks for the excellent work everybody - my daughter is now happily doodling away on her new toy...

    Hi everyone,

    Breaking News: A holiday present from Ping Cheng at the LWP.

    Linuxwacom 0.8.5-8 has been released!!! Rotation is fixed and hopefully the Bamboo P & T patches are now working.

    So you lefties can now rotate your tablets HALF. There is a little quirk with touch, at least on my tablet. It's a little misaligned on rotation and the cursor jumps several cm.s when the finger is lifted. But it hops right back when you touch the tablet again. It's being looked at.

    I'm interested in hearing if it works for you. See the linuxwacom HOW TO.

    Notice: linuxwacom 0.8.5-8 does not work for the P & T. Because of the rapid changes in the driver with the merger with Xorg's x86f driver there were some incompatible kernel changes among other things. This is being looked at.

    Re: New Wacom Bamboo not working

    Hiya,

    Is there a simple way to install the new driver. My Mum's just got a Bamboo CTL-460 for Christmas and I need to do it pretty sharpish before I leave in the new year.

    I'm quite busy and not too Linux savvy (not completely usless though) and envisage making many small mistakes which take me ages to discover and correct.

    Any step to step, deb or anything like that would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks

    Hi spidermagicat,

    Post #2 at the front of this thread links to kgingeri's HOW TO. Also follow the link for the new-working or new-generic rc2 .fdi. That should get the pen working.

    Re: New Wacom Bamboo not working

    Hi everyone,

    Enrico Ros has kindly summarized the current state of Bamboo P & T support and what is needed to merge it:
    Here is the current status of the merge of UbuntuForums changes into the xf86-
    input-driver and linuxwacom code trees.

    Contents of 'bamboo-34' UbuntuForums patch:
    A. kernel changes against 2.6.28
    B. XInput changes
    C. hal(fdi) + udev + minor changes

    xf86-input-wacom vs. bamboo-34:
    * Half of the B changes already merged and shipped in 0.10.3
    * Greatly improved since the merge (thanks to Ping)
    * There is one B patch remaining, bringing some Touch logic [1]. This is the
    last bit of B changes to merge

    linuxwacom-0.8.5-8 vs. bamboo-34:
    * diverged A - can't say which one is better, but with linuxwacom my 0xD2
    tablet doesn't work
    * half of B has been ported from xf86-input-wacom (not merged from bamboo-34)
    * some of C has been applied: 10-linuxwacom.fdi: merged, 60-wacom.rules: non
    applied, wacomcpl-exec: non applied.

    Remaining steps:
    * pull [1] into xf86-input-wacom and apply it to linuxwacom/src/xdrv - this
    will sync all the B changes
    * linuxwacom/src/2.6.27: merge with the kernel changes of bamboo-34 - this
    won't be an easy task. you can use my git mirror [2] for easily diffing trees
    (linuxwacom / ubuntuforums) and revisions

    [1] git://gitorious.org/linuxwacom/xf86-input-wacom.git - 'for-whot' branch
    [2] git://gitorious.org/linuxwacom/linuxwacom-mirror.git

    Re: New Wacom Bamboo not working

    Hi again. I followed the tutorial and found I needed driver version 0.8.4-3 which I can't seem to find.

    I tried it with 0.8.4-4 on the offchance it might work but ended up with an error 1 with one of the files which was patched

    I then tried the latest driver which in theory shouldn't need patching but found it didn't have my kernel version. It only goes up to 2.6.27 and I'm on 2.6.31.

    Any advice, or does someone have the correct driver version?

    Thanks, I'm tantalizingly close, the devices is detected with the new driver and comes up in the gimp settings but just doesn't work. I suspect I do indeed need the kernel module

    Hi Spider,

    Have you tried the Favux's other thread yet? -> here or this development one?
