Wacom Bamboo Pen under Slack 13

jack_peter · 02-24-2010, 02:41 PM

hello,

I can't get tablet working under slack, the problem probably is just that no input device gets created. I compiled the driver myself (slack seems to come without wacom driver...). Here are my settings:

xorg.conf:

Code:

Section "Input Device"
        Identifier      "stylus"
        Driver          "wacom"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
        Option          "Type"          "stylus"
        Option          "USB"           "on"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "eraser"
        Driver          "wacom"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
        Option          "Type"          "eraser"
        Option          "USB"           "on"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "cursor"
        Driver          "wacom"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
        Option          "Type"          "cursor"
        Option          "USB"           "on"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "pad"
        Driver          "wacom"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
        Option          "Type"          "pad"
        Option          "USB"           "on"
EndSection
[...]
Section "ServerLayout"

# The Identifier line must be present
    Identifier  "Simple Layout"

# Each Screen line specifies a Screen section name, and optionally
# the relative position of other screens.  The four names after
# primary screen name are the screens to the top, bottom, left and right
# of the primary screen.  In this example, screen 2 is located to the
# right of screen 1.

    Screen "Screen 1"

# Each InputDevice line specifies an InputDevice section name and
# optionally some options to specify the way the device is to be
# used.  Those options include "CorePointer", "CoreKeyboard" and
# "SendCoreEvents".

    InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"

    InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice "pad"

EndSection

BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", ENV{WACOM_TYPE}=="touch", SYMLINK+="input/wacom-touch"

Indeed, /dev/input/wacom does not exist. The control LED on the device is flashing and reacting to the pen.

Thanks

Hi,

Take a look at 'Linux Wacom Project'.

That's the place. The development release is your best bet for the newer Bamboo tablets.

jack_peter · 02-25-2010, 06:18 PM

I tried to install that package, probably that didn't work. At first the prebuilt installer didn't work, don't exactly know the error message but actually something like this one:

Code:

linuxwacom-0.8.5-10/prebuilt# ./install
Installing Wacom man page......
Installed under /usr/share/man/man4

Installing wacom_drv....
WARNING: Can not install Wacom X driver (wacom_drv)
since the proper directory has not been found

You need to compile and install wacom.(k)o manually if your kernel is out of date.

After adding your Wacom tools into /etc/X11/xorg.conf, please restart X server or simply reboot your system to run the new Wacom X driver.

Unfortunately it doesn't say which directory it is looking after. I thought it would find everything when I compile it myself and during compilation there weren't any errors...

Is there maybe some kernel module missing? I'm using a self compiled kernel 2.6.32.2 and all I have found with wacom in its name was 'Input device support ---> Tablets ---> <M> Wacom Intuos/Graphire tablet support (USB)' and 'Input device support ---> Touchscreens ---> <M> Wacom W8001 penabled serial touchscreen'.

onebuck · 02-25-2010, 08:51 PM

Hi,

You did look at the link 'Linux Wacom Project', right?

If you had then a link on that page for the 'HOWTO' should aid in the installation.

jack_peter · 02-26-2010, 01:54 AM

ok, found the correct module under linuxwacom-0.8.5-10/src/2.6.27 (where I didn't really expect it...) but its working now, thanks!

braintooth · 05-11-2010, 07:20 PM

jack_peter,
What were the steps you took to install the Wacom pad and get it working? I have a Bamboo I have been trying to install following every and any ones 'how to' with no luck. Cant get the pad to be recognized in 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices.' I can see it in lsusb as
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 056a:00d4 Wacom Co., Ltd
but nothing happens except for the light recognizing the action I am doing on the pad.

I compiled the driver with the wacom.ko file, installed it in the usual way. Then I also compiled the wacom module of the kernel (which doesen't work) but I replaced the kernel module by the wacom.ko file I had just compiled. Probably this was not a very nice way, but it worked

Code:

linuxwacom-0.8.5-11# ./configure --enable-wacom
linuxwacom-0.8.5-11# make
linuxwacom-0.8.5-11# make install
linuxwacom-0.8.5-11# find . -name "wacom.ko"
./src/2.6.27/wacom.ko
linuxwacom-0.8.5-11# rm /lib/modules/2.6.33.1/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko
linuxwacom-0.8.5-11# cp ./src/2.6.27/wacom.ko /lib/modules/2.6.33.1/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/

If you have configured your xorg.conf a restart of X should do I guess.

Still had a bit of a problem. Started over from 'scratch'. The only difference I see is running make in src/2.6.30. Reboot and Sweet black plastic! It works!

The whole process for me (with dling depends):

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libx11-dev libxi-dev x11proto-input-dev xserver-xorg-dev tk8.4-dev tcl8.4-dev libncurses5-dev
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/l....8.6-2.tar.bz2
tar -xf linuxwacom-0.8.6-2.tar.bz2
cd linuxwacom-0.8.6-2
./configure --enable-wacom
cd src/2.6.30/
make
sudo rm /lib/modules/2.6.33.1/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko
sudo cp wacom.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/
sudo rmmod wacom
sudo modprobe wacom
sudo gedit /etc/modules
	Added 'wacom' to this.
sudo reboot
