Wacom Intuos manga not detected by Wheezy

Joe Soap · 05-08-2015, 12:42 PM

I am running Debian Wheezy and recently bought a Wacom Intuos Manga tablet.

When I plug the tablet in (via USB), dmesg shows this:

Code:

[ 7385.711662] usb 3-4.2: new full-speed USB device number 14 using xhci_hcd
[ 7385.731814] usb 3-4.2: New USB device found, idVendor=056a, idProduct=0302
[ 7385.731819] usb 3-4.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[ 7385.731822] usb 3-4.2: Product: Intuos PTS
[ 7385.731824] usb 3-4.2: Manufacturer: Wacom Co.,Ltd.

Clearly the device is recognised.

However, the pen does not move the cursor, system settings says "No tablet detected" and neither Gimp nor Inkscape recognises the tablet.

What am I doing wrong?

Try this:

Code:

# apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom

In my past experience with wacom+debian, i found the debian drivers always a little behind in versions which could ultimately be your issue.

@Head_on_a_stick: That's already installed

@sudowtf: Thanks, I've been wanting to move to Jessie anyway. Maybe that'll help.

i don't know which version you might need, but it seems jessie's libwacom2 and libwacom-common are both at v 0.8-1.

You could also just add wheezy-backports or the jessie/sid repos and "pin" wheezy (/etc/apt/preferences). i'd be happy to detail if necessary. http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/
