Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch Series Development

[ob1kenobi]

Start X without tablet plugged in, then plug it in

No touch.

xsetwacom list
Wacom_Bamboo_6x8_Pen_eraser     eraser
Wacom_Bamboo_6x8_Pen     stylus

I'm also getting closer to reproducing the X hangs (which I still have): It involves tapping on the tablet on the root window to open the menu of the window manager, then moving the cursor away with the menu still open and pressing the bottommost tablet button. This doesn't hang X every time, but quite often. Don't know if I can make it 100% reproducable.

Thanks for testing. Can you post a lshal for this last case? I'd like to see what drive got the touch interface.

Oh, and on Debian, I didn't get any compile warnings either. I'm wondering if I can drop my hack to place some links in the kernel header directory now...

No, you will probably still need the hack.

Hi all,

Well I kinda went down a rabbit hole and cleaned up so much that I'm not sure what to do
...

Ha, I've been down one too - checking out Chrome OS ;v)

I'll give it a try later tonight hopefully.

EDIT: BTW when I did an lsb_release command, it told me it was Karmic Koala!!! Yeah, Chrome OS!!

Hi kgingeri,

This may explain why.

Prerequisites
You need to have Linux. We currently support the following:

* Ubuntu (Hardy 8.04 or newer, Karmic 9.10 recommended)
* An account with root access (needed to run chroot and modify the mount table)
* Chromium prerequisites (needed to build a Chromium-based browser as part of building Chromium OS)

Cool - so let's port tablet stuff to Chrome OS!!

Kidding!!!

Hi everybody! I was reading almost all the pages of this post, because I just got a Wacom Bamboo Pen and I have problems with it. I use Ubuntu 9.04
This is what appears after lsusb :

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 056a:00d4 Wacom Co., Ltd


I also tryied this http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...&postcount=145 and this is what gives me back , so I don't know what to do next.

iulda@iulda-desktop:~/Escritorio$ chmod +x wpen

Linux Wacom Testing Builder

Enter linuxwacom version or press enter for []:


I will be happy to test all and try to help with what I can.

Hello,

I've everything and installed my driver as written in the automatic instal on post 1
I have the pen and touch CTH 460 and Karmic.

What works :
For the stylus (all perfect or almost perfect)
-The pen, with pressure
-The eraser with pressure
-The stylus buttons
For the pad
-The four buttons
-The touch as a relative and absolute mouse (although it has a lot of bugs and is not usable in an everyday work)

What doesn't work :
-Does not work multiple fingers
-In the wacomcpl, I can configure pen and eraser but I have nothing under pad and touch pad
-when I unplug and plug it back, It mess up totally the touch
-I have two devices as touch ? Maybe some problems come from that ?

xsetwacom list dev
Wacom_Bamboo_4x5_Pen stylus
Wacom_Bamboo_4x5_Pen_eraser eraser
Wacom_Bamboo_4x5_Touch touch
Wacom_Bamboo_4x5_Touch_pad touch


I am willing to help test your advanced programming stuff, so let me tell where and how and what I should do.
Thanks for your extremely useful work,
LH

Hi LaHyenne,

Try using the .fdi in post #579.

[LaHyenne]

I did not notice changes.

But maybe I was doing something wrong ?
I just redid modprobe -r wacom and reboot.

What do I have to reinstall to test a new fdi ?

Thanks,
LH

Hi LaHyenne,

Just back up the current one:

sudo cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-linuxwacom.fdi /home/yourusername/Desktop/10-linuxwacom.bak

And substitute the contents of the new one for it:

gksudo gedit /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-linuxwacom.fdi

and reboot.

[rebecca2525]

Replace the file /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-linuxwacom.fdi with the new fdi and reboot. Make sure that you don't have several fdi's for wacom in that directory.
