Well, I've tested the udev settings provided on titopoquito's link and it works perfectly!
So my way will be from now-on :
1/ Extract the linuxwacom driver tarball and run this in the extracted dir :
Code:
./configure --enable-wacom
make
make install
2/ Copy the prebuilt wacom_drv.so from linuxwacom in the /usr/lib/modules/input/ dir (that's the X11 driver) :
Code:
cd prebuilt/32
cp wacom_drv.so /usr/lib/modules/input/
3/ Create a /etc/udev/rules.d/10-wacom.rules and add the following line to it :
Code:
KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="056a", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK+="input/wacom"
4/ Edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to add the three InputDevice for each wacom device (stylus, eraser, cursor), using "/dev/input/wacom" as device, as per the LinuxWacom HowTo.
Don't forget to add the three input devices also to the "Server Layout" section. I personnaly use "AlwaysCore", which works well for me.
5/ Restart the computer.
6/ In Gimp, go to File->Preferences->Input Devices->Configure Extended Input Devices, and for each Wacom device, set the mode to Screen.
Troubleshooting :
1/ If "wacdump /dev/input/wacom" doesn't show something like this :
Code:
wacdump v0.7.4
MODEL=Wacom Intuos2 6x8 ROM=1.1-5
CLS=USB VNDR=Wacom DEV=Intuos2 SUB=XD-0608-U
That probably means there's something wrong with the kernel driver or the udev rule which didn't set up the wacom symlink properly. Try all the "/dev/input/event*" devices and if none of them works, either the wacom kernel module is not loaded or it doesn't work properly. Try another version of LinuxWacom.
2/ If wacdump displays everything properly but the tablet still doesn't work under X11, that's probably an issue with the X11 driver. Make sure you copied the appropriate prebuilt one (Slackware is 32bits right now) and that you copied the ".so" and not the ".o". Check "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for wacom messages.
Honestly, I have 3 tablets here (one Intuos, one Cintiq, one Graphire3) and they work perfectly with Slackware 12.
So there should not be any problem I guess.
