Question Wacom Digitizer II and redhat 7.3


Hello you all,

I can't manage to make my Wacom tablet to work. I've followed this howto : http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Wacom-Tablet-HOWTO.html
but it still does'nt work

Of course i ve tried ttys0 and ttys1 ...

I ve installed Mdke 8.2 which recognise the wacom automatically just to check the XF86Config-4, but there is nothing special there.

I am lost

Please help

If nothing shows up run us tru the steps you took, and post the relevant configuration bits.

All right some details ...

Well i got no error messages at all, the Wacom just isn't working.

Here comes my installation steps :

I edit XF86config with vim and i add this line in the server output section :
InputDevice "pen1" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "eraser1" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "cursor1" "AlwaysCore"

then i add this line in the Module section :
Load "wacom" # Wacom Device Driver

And then thoses lines as InputDevice :
# Settings for wacom pen
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "pen1"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Endsection
# Settings for wacom eraser
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "eraser1"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Endsection
# Settings for wacom cursor (mouse)
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "cursor1"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Endsection

I reboot after saving the file and it still doesn't work

any help ?

Try run X with "startx -- -nolisten tcp -verbose 0 -logverbose 9", should put more in your (/usr/adm|/var/log)XFree.*log
