Genius MousePen 8x6
Hi,
I have tried to install a Genius MousePen tablet on OpenSuse 11.0. I followed this guide and this repository. What confuses me is that I cannot find wizardpen kernel module in the packages and /dev/input/tablet device is missing. The driver package consists of a shared lib - wizardpen_drv.so. On the other hand, the other tablets like wacom that are supported by opensuse do have both kernel modules and shared libs. Code:
Section "InputDevice" I will greatly appreciate any help on that. |
I found out how to install this device on openSuse 11.1 so I decided to share the solution.
First you need to add some lines in your xorg.conf file: Code:
Section "ServerLayout" Code:
Section "InputDevice" Code:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices Code:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=5543 Product=0005 Version=0100 Then install the driver from source code http://code.google.com/p/linuxgenius/. Your driver version has to be compatible with the version of xorg, for example if you get the following error in Xorg log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) usr/lib64/xorg/modules//input/wizardpendrv.so: undefined symbol, you need a newer driver. Read the INSTALL file included with the source. If you are using a 64bit OS you need to replace the string /usr/lib/xorg/modules with /usr/lib64/xorg/modules in the instructions. Restart xorg and it should work. You can use the calibration tool to change the values for the coordinates in the xorg.conf. |
