HOW TO Set Up the Bamboo Pen & Touch in Lucid

**Zib.c** · August 21st, 2010

Hello everybody,

I'm a new user on this forum, French user of ubuntu since 4 years.
I bought a CTH-461 2 months ago, I firstly installed it with following the tutorial available on linuw-wacom sourceforge but, the touch and the buttons are not working quite well ...
I've decided to register because I have a problem during the tutorial of the first Post (thx Favux!)

in the section II Install Xorg's xf86-input-wacom for Lucid, when I launch :

Code:

cd xf86-input-wacom

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr

I get this error :

Code:

checking for XORG... yes
checking if RANDR is defined... yes
checking for X11... configure: error: Package requirements (x11 xi xrandr) were not met:

No package 'xrandr' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables X11_CFLAGS
and X11_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

the problem is that xrandr is installed because I use it to enlarge the resolution of my screen ...

a package is clearly missing but which one ?

so if you could help me...

thanks, Zib.c

Hi Zib.c,

Welcome to Ubuntu forums!

Are you sure you ran the dependency line?:

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libx11-dev libxi-dev x11proto-input-dev xserver-xorg-dev libncurses5-dev xutils-dev autoconf libtool pkg-config

You seem to be missing one or more of the packages.

Also try running:

Code:

sudo apt-get build-dep xf86-input-wacom

once.

Hi again

yes I followed every step, after asking on IRC, the missing library was libxrandr-dev (or something like that)
and the line

Code:

sudo apt-get build-dep xf86-input-wacom

didn't install anything because I am on lucid lynx and on this distro, it's included in xserver-xorg-input-wacom ...
so now the problem is fixed, the tablet, pen and eraser are working quite well except for the touch which is not fluid at all (step ~ 5px)! (i've got the same problem before) so if you have a solution I take it!

Hi Zib.c,

Nice work! If you could pin down the library, whether it's libxrandr-dev or whatever that would help if there is a new dependency.

Post #110 has a "fix" for touch and I also added it to Troubleshooting near the bottom.
