HOW TO Set Up the Bamboo Pen & Touch in Lucid

[npq]

I have that package installed.

xinput list:

⎡ Virtual core pointer                        id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                  id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech Optical USB Mouse                  id=10    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Acer IR  Receiver                           id=11    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Macintosh mouse button emulation            id=12    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                       id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard                 id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                                id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                                id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ CHICONY USB Keyboard                        id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ CHICONY USB Keyboard                        id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]

Go back to the unpacked linuxwacom tar where you patched the wacom_wac.c and recopy the compiled wacom.ko into place. Are there any errors with the copy command? Verify it is in place by navigating to it and checking properties. Do the 'sudo depmod -a' and reboot. Maybe a few times.

Since lsmod is showing a wacom.ko is autoloading that leaves that it is the old non-working default wacom.ko and not the new one you patched. I hope.

[npq]

I solved it!

Copying it over had worked fine all along. The problem was that the wacom.ko I had compiled was not the only wacom.ko available. There was also one at /lib/modules/2.6.32-26-generic/extra/wacom.ko, which I have now renamed to wacom.ko.bak.

Now it works.

Thank you for your guide and help.

Hi npq,

Outstanding!

That's a new one on me. So a safety feature of Trisquel 4.0 was defeating us? It has backup copies of the default kernel modules in case a default module is "corrupted" and applies it? Huh.

Hi Folks,

Firstly: Happy New Year! )

what does this mean "In the kernel module code (linuxwacom-0.8.8-10) I added.." What is the name of the file where one has to add stuff? I have
a Bamboo Fun CTH 461 and trying to use it on MAverick 64 bit.

for lsusb I get this:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 056a:00d7 Wacom Co., Ltd

and xinput --list only this:

⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ PixArt USB Optical Mouse id=9 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ ThinkPad Extra Buttons id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]

Hi knarfix,

Welcome to Ubuntu forums! Happy New Year!

We're referring to a link in the (blue) text immediately below the box that contains your model, the Bamboo Fun Small (CTH461/S; Product ID = 0xd7). The link takes you here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...&postcount=309

It's the file wacom_wac.c in the /src/2.6.30 directory of the unpacked linuxwacom tar that you want to add the model to.

So for:

static struct wacom_features wacom_features_0xDA =
	{ "Wacom Bamboo 2FG 4x5 SE", WACOM_PKGLEN_BBFUN,  14720,  9200, 1023, 63, BAMBOO_PT };

you would use:

static struct wacom_features wacom_features_0xD7 =
	{ "Wacom Bamboo Fun 2FG 4x5", WACOM_PKGLEN_BBFUN,  14720,  9200, 1023, 63, BAMBOO_PT };

I guess. With the other line just change to your model number.

That will get you a wacom.ko with your model. But since it hasn't yet been added to xf86-input-wacom you'll also need to add it to wcmUSB.c and wcmValidateDevice.c as the other links show you how. Hopefully those models will be added to xf86-input-wacom shortly, just leaving the kernel or wacom.ko to patch.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Favux,

looks like I have to do the whole thing again since "xinput --list" still looks the same after my new try with the changes you mentioned.

By the way: is the following ok?

dmesg | grep Wacom
[ 6.248221] wacom: v1.52-pc-0.3:USB Wacom tablet driver

Regards

[Favux]

Shoot.

Yes, it looks ok. But the best way to tell is to go to your compiled wacom.ko in /src/2.6.30 and look at the properties, esp. the date. Then navigate to the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko and check properties again and make sure they are the same. That will tell you if you copied the compiled one into place.

Hi knarfix,

I have the same model as you have and if this is the only line, then I guess you still don't have a working kernel module (wacom.ko)

Mine looks smth. like:

[73073.439736] input: Wacom Bamboo 2FG FUN Pen as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb6/6-1/6-1:1.0/input/input18
[73073.456628] input: Wacom Bamboo 2FG FUN Finger as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb6/6-1/6-1:1.1/input/input19
[73073.462595] usbcore: registered new interface driver wacom
[73073.462597] wacom: v1.52-pc-0.3:USB Wacom tablet driver

The string "Wacom Bamboo 2FG FUN Pen" is just the string from wacom_ko.c so it could be different in your case.

cheers

[knarfix]

Thanks Favux and PublicNMI,

it is working now. The problem was that there was one more wacom.ko in the directory /lib/modules/2.6.35-24-generic/updates/dkms. After renaming it, the "xinput --list" output looked how it should.

Cheers
