WACOM Intuos.3 A5 tablet
I`ve got little problem with my Intuos.3 tablet. I`ve got Ubuntu Breezy installed. The tablet worked out of the box, but not too good. I had to edit xorg.conf to get it work properly. Now everything is fine, except the express keys of my tablet. I can`t get them to work. I`ve built and installed expresskeys-0.2.4 package (it`s my first post here, so I can`t paste the adress of the site with the expresskeys).
Unfortunately I don`t know how to run it properly. I try "expresskeys pad" command, but I get then "expresskeys ERROR: Can not find pad device: pad". It seems that my pad device isn`t detected or something. Here`s my xorg.conf: Code:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file) |
by the way: I don`t think that the problem is expresskeys package. After "xidump -l" I get:
"eraser extension stylus extension cursor extension Generic Keyboard keyboard Configured Mouse disabled NVIDIA Event Handler extension" So, no "pad" device either. Should I create it somehow manually? |
:) My tablet works now with express keys.
If someone has the same problem as I wrote before you must do this: - from this site: http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/dl you must download the newer linux wacom package; in my case it was linuxwacom-0.7.0-1.tar.bz2 - in the terminal type: Code:
locate wacom_drv.o Code:
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/wacom_drv.o Code:
cp /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/wacom_drv.o /home/user/Desktop/wacom/wacom_drv.o_old - in the package`s folder enter "prebuilt" - now replace with wacom_drv.o_xorg the older driver: Code:
cp wacom_drv.o_xorg /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/wacom_drv.o Now you can use this program: http://web.telia.com/~u46133770/wacom/index.html and make your custom shortcuts to Express Keys :) |
Thank you for this post. I just ordered a Wacom Intuos 3 and was concerned about it not working properly on Linux when I got it. I even went so far as to install XP on another HD just in case. With the way you presented everything, I now feel confident I'll have it going in no time. I wish everyone would lay things out for each other in a similar fashion. Thanks again.

I`m glad that I`ve helped :)

Your instructions were so nice and simple, I wonder why they couldn't write that on the project's HOWTO page? I've tried reading through their instructions, I got so overwhelmed.
I hope this will work with SuSE 10.0. I have kernel 2.6.13-15.10. |
