HOWTO: Wacom in 8.04 Hardy

[tss101]

Many thanks for the guide and help neko18

I managed to get the tablet screen working as a mouse (and it's calibrated nicely too!) on my hp tx2110. I used the instructions you gave to rajivnanda on page 2 (the numbers are a little out of sync after the updated 0.8.0 instructions). Although wacomcpl doesn't seem to work - it gives me an unknown device error for all four wacom components in the list

There's also a nasty side effect. Every time I now press tab in a bash terminal window (with a system beep) X restarts. It only happens after using the patched instructions. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this or has any ideas why it might be.

Seems the tab issue is fixed by using the xorg.conf file entries in here (post #27).

wacomcpl kind of works now too, though this may be unrelated to the changes to xorg.conf

How can disinstall the wacom driver for retring to install wacom driver

@rospo84
Try running through the guide again.

i tried to run through the guide but now it give me error at the step 7.

7.
Code:

./configure --enable-wacom
make
sudo make install

It didn't make the "sudo make install". I tried to go ahed but at the step 12 when i write

sudo cp linuxwacom-0.8.0/src/2.6.24/wacom.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko

it returned:

cp: impossibile fare stat di `linuxwacom-0.8.0/src/2.6.24/wacom.ko': Nessun file o directory

that means that there are no file or directory and that it was impossible make the stat of `linuxwacom-0.8.0/src/2.6.24/wacom.ko'.
So, can anybody help me.
Sorry for my worst english!!!

I tried all steps and it worked just fine...After I tweaked the xorg.conf.. this because my tablet is an old ArtPad II Serial tablet and not a USB model...After playing with wacdump and xsetwacom I managed to get my old tablet working and with

 xsetwacom set stylus button2 3

I mapped the middle button to mouse-right.

Thank you so much

You can't find it possibly because you are on "/home/whomeveryoure/linuxwacom-0.8.0/",it happened to me, so try instead:

sudo cp src/2.6.24/wacom.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko

or

sudo cp /home/'usrname'/wacom/linuxwacom-0.8.0/src/2.6.24/wacom.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko

@tss101
I'm glad your tablet is working. I'm guessing the 'Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"' line fixed it.

@rospo84
Please open a terminal and run the following commands. Attach their output.

cd ~/wacom/linuxwacom-0.8.0
./configure --enable-wacom
make | tail -n 300
sudo make install

@Papadzulinux
Noting the current directory is a good tip. I'll try to integrate it into the guide somehow.

doesn't work!!!

Hello everyone, I can not run the file. Xinitrc to boot my PC to restart my setup, I am French, starting on Linux and I have a little difficulty to understand or do I put this file. Xinitrc I has a wacom bamboo and the beta version 0.7.9-11 driver because I encounter some difficulties with version 0.8.0!

I would like to know if there is a special code to enter the file. Xinitrc or if he just returned my staff like this:

xsetwacom set stylus button2 3 
xsetwacom set stylus button3 2 
xsetwacom set pad button1 "core key shift" 
xsetwacom set pad button1 "core key shift super" 
xsetwacom set pad button1 "core key ctrl" 
xsetwacom set pad button1 "core alt key super tab"

and I wanted to know whether this file requires absolutely wacomcpl and if it depends on him because I have some problems with him,GUI displays, but show nothing !!!


Be indulgent with me and my English, I am not an expert !

Another possibility, with a file. sh, but because I try my knowledge are limited, and when my system restarts execute it in the file, but Kate

For those interested I send you my Xorg.0.log together with the results of diagnostic USB my machine:
