Where can I get the X.org SDK?

beetlenaut · 07-27-2005, 06:04 AM

I am installing a drawing tablet in SuSE 9.3. The driver will not compile without X.org SDK, but I can't find it. It's not on my disks, and even the X.org website doesn't have a link to the thing. There are RPM's for other distros, but there are over 1000 files in there, and I can't count on them going where SuSE needs them. Is there a SuSE RPM anywhere?

(I hope I don't have to compile the beast. SuSE seems to be light on develement packages in general, and to compile anything large, I would have to compile LOTS of small things, which I'm sure would each require me to compile something else, all in order to compile one thing I want. If I liked compiling, I'd use Gentoo.)

(The YaST grapical tablet installer is no use. The tablet only works in relative mode with no pressure sensitivity. That's a mouse. I already have one of those.)

Thanks.

you need the xorg-devel package.

Oh. Maybe I should have guessed that, but there WAS an "xorg-x11-sdk" package for other distros. For SuSE it's "xorg-x11-devel". For others with SuSE 9.3, you can get it here as of 7-28-2005: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i586.rpm.html

Thanks!

Apparently, that's not it. The xorg-x11-devel package was already installed. I still get this:

*** WARNING:
*** Unable to compile wacom_drv.o without XF86 build environment
*** or Xorg SDK.
*** wacom_drv.o will not be built

You could try to install the FC package. It seems like xorg-devel and xorg-sdk should be two names for the same thing, but I guess not.

I, too, am having problems getting my Wacom Intuos3 4x6 tablet working.

According to a posting on the fedora-maintainers list, xorg-x11-devel is no longer available from FC5 on. Individual libraries need to be specified in the build requirements.

The problem I'm having relates to evdev.o, which does not seem to exist in 2.6.18.1 or 2.6.19.1. When X starts, it works ok, but the tablet does not, and there are 4 "FATAL: Module evdev does not exist." messages.

I can't help you much, the Wacom drivers have been built into the kernel since 2.6.16--You shouldn't have to do anything special. I'm using openSUSE 10.2 now, and it recognized my Graphire with no trouble. I just had to activate the pens.

There are some recent notes about FC5 and 6 on http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/
