Install Wizardpen driver for Iball tablet

[Tony Flury]

Hi Tony,

Your right, that is odd. I'd appreciate seeing the whole Xorg.0.log.

Try in a terminal:

dmesg | grep wizardpen

I have just rebooted :

I get no output from the dmesg - but interestingly

[   36.808178] input: UC-LOGIC Tablet WP5540U as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.2/usb3/3-2/3-2:1.0/input/input11
[   36.890699] input,hiddev96,hidraw1: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [UC-LOGIC Tablet WP5540U] on usb-0000:00:1a.2-2

So that implies to me that the hardware is plugged in correctly

Also :

tony@laptop:~$ grep -i wizard /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) |-->Input Device "WizardPen Tablet"
(II) LoadModule: "wizardpen"

(EE) WizardPen Tablet: unable to find device

(II) evaluating device (WizardPen Tablet)

Make sure the usb cable is seated firmly on both ends and boot with it connected.

The fact i can calibrate the tablet - and i get the demsg output above suggests that it is not connectivity.

Worryingly even though I am running Hardy Heron - the tablet was working with the fdi file in place, ever since deleting the fdi file, I have not had any function.

The error message looks something like the ones in troubleshooting here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ta...ardpenHardy173 Really the only difference I can see is by following Dr. Kurian's HOW TO you've added x-dev to the dependencies.

[Tony Flury]

I rebuilt the drivers according to this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ta...ardpenHardy173 - and rebooted.

I previously did not have x-dev installed - and I now do -
I am still getting the same messages in both dmesg and Xorg0.log - the only difference is of course the device is now /dev/input/event3.

I don't think so, I think you should see the wizardpen.ko in dmesg. I think you may be dealing with another driver (probably mouse or touchpad), I guess through HAL(?), which I thought wasn't active in Hardy. So I'm confused. I think you're looking at basic support through the usb hid portion of the kernel and another driver, not the wizardpen driver. I don't think your compile worked. That's why I'd like to see the entire Xorg.0.log.

I'm sitting here wondering if Hardy 8.04-4 now has some HAL support?

[Tony Flury]

Believe me - as far as I can tell the compile worked :-0

and the Xorg.0.log reports loading the module ok - suggesting no problems with the module.

I attach my Xorg0.log.

Hi Tony,

Maybe you need a udev rule? Open up Synaptics Package Manager and search 'xorg'. What we want to find out is is your version before or after version 1.7.3. The Xorg.0.log says your Xserver is:

X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90
Release Date: 5 September 2007

It'll look something like:

xorg	1:7.3~ubunut etc.	X.Org X Window System

Need to know the exact number.

The other option would seem to be the newest driver doesn't work with Hardy and we need an older one? I haven't seen anything about that.

[Tony Flury]

I have xorg 1:7.3+10ubuntu10.2

Hi Tony,

OK, I'm not sure what this is telling us: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ta...ardpenHardy173 It's at:

Setting up your tablet

General information

It looks to me like it is saying for your Xorg version you do need a udev rule. But when I go to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen I don't see a udev rule. But what I do see is a .fdi(?) along with xorg.conf settings. But when I look at "For an *ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon)-version, see TabletSetupWizardpenGutsy" I find the udev rule. It's under "Setting up udev (If the tablet is USB)" and basically looks right. Maybe not the location I'd place it or exactly how I'd do it, but OK.

It seems like that's what you need but I admit to being confused and uncertain what to tell you. Is the newer driver suppose to handle this or is this the problem with it on your Hardy?

[Tony Flury]

well the only time i got anything to work was with an fdi in place - but then i could not get full movement on the tablet (only the top left 1/4 was active), so i will re-instate the fdi (as well as xorg) and see where that gets me.

stll not sure how to get the tablet to work over its full area.

I would agree that the instructions are not exactly clear - the way i read it is that on 1.73 and above i don't need UDEV - but it does not say that explicitly. The pages say about being before 1.73 - or after 1.73 - but not what happens when you have 1.73.

Hi,
I try to install the tablet to karmic gnome
Trust TB7300 N: Name="WALTOP International Corp. Media Tablet"

may work with NEW VERSION (0.7.0-alpha2)
http://download354.mediafire.com/yne...lpha2_i386.deb
but how to make new calibration ?
This is not working...

Calibration

8060 IconsPage/IconHint2.png Note: In the subsection, you'll find output from calibrate! If you tablet is listed there, you can just use that output instead!
* If you tablet isn't listed, I would love to recieve an email with the output, and the model of your tablet! (See email at the end of the page!)
If you want to calibrate yourself, just proceed.

Enter the "calibrate"-directory - Run this command:
cd calibrate
cd: calibrate: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
Build the calibration tool - Run this command:make
Calibrate in order to find the edges of your tablet/digitizer - Run this command:
sudo ./wizardpen-calibrate /dev/tablet-event.....
sudo: ./wizardpen-calibrate: command not found

any help please ?
