New Wacom Bamboo not working

[Evon]

Thank you once again. But what link are you speaking of?

[Favux]

OK. The links can be imbedded in the sentence. If words are underlined you can hover your pointer arrow over it and if it changes color, usually to red, that's a link.

Here's a direct link to "Section 3: Calibrating your Tablet": http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...12&postcount=1

Ob1's also working on changes to wacomcpl that will allow you to configure touch and touch gestures better. Hopefully that will also be in linuxwacom 0.8.5-10.

Well that attempt failed miserably. I did everything in that link up to step 7 but when I restarted like it said, my xorg crashed. I had to comment everything that pertained to my pad to get it working again. Please find my xorg.conf below. I'm sorry but I don't know where to find the error report or else i would post that too.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Evon,

OK, let's see if we can get the Bamboo Touch working for you.

First thing is the Touch's Product ID is 0xd0 so you want to change the symlink rule you added to the bottom of the table in "40-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules" in "/lib/udev/rules.d/" to:

ATTRS{idVendor}=="056a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="00d0", SYMLINK="input/tablet-wacom-bamboo-pen_touch-$env{WACOM_TYPE}"

We'll take the xorg.conf a step at a time. First we'll try to get it to boot with just the nVidia video sections and lines in "ServerLayout" enabled. Notice with the Touch you need a touch and a pad section. So change your xorg.conf to the one attached below and then see if it works after a reboot.

Ok my display works so far but my tablet does not.

Hi Evon,

Good! So we have a working xorg.conf and we know video isn't the problem.

So now with the attached test2 xorg.conf we'll enable the touch section and the touch line in "ServerLayout". This will also test the symlink rule you modified with your Product ID. We know changing it by itself didn't cause a problem because you were able to boot with it and just the video stuff. Let's see if touch was what was causing the Xserver to break.

[Evon]

thanks again for the help. test2 crashed.

Hello everyone!

BIG THX for patches, drivers & help! Short summary from me:

I've just done famous post #541 (& co. procedure for: CTH-661/S, Karmic 64bit with 2.6.31 and linuxwacom-0.8.4-4.

Patches from #144 applied without problems. I have only one problem with #638 "No debug patch"), but commenting apriopriate 'printk' lines in wacom_wac.c.patch done the trick.

Used fdi file: Favux_new-generic_rc2_10-linuxwacom.fdi.txt

No xorg.conf editing.

Everythig runs smooth! The only problem is wacomcpl command - the window is empty, no options available

Now I'll try to dig into 0.8.5-9 Thank you all again!

Hi cnr_roxx,

Welcome to Ubuntu forums!

Good work, sounds like you are on your way.


Hi Evon,

OK, so touch or the touch symlink is breaking X. Which instructions did you follow to patch linuxwacom? I'm trying to find out which version of the patches you're using and which version of linuxwacom.

This is how i got my touch pad working initially
