Tablet

Wysiwyg · 06-05-2003, 10:48 PM

Hello. Here's a tricky question: i have a Freestyler USB Tablet from Plawa (www.plawa.de) and i can't make it work in KDE/Slackware 9. I've edited the rc.modules and uncommented these lines, for no effect at all:

/sbin/modprobe usb-uhci
/sbin/modprobe hid

How can i make this tablet work??

You have to re-compile your kernel with the Tablet support... I think it's under the Input Devices section. I'm very sure I've seen it, because I just recompiled my kernel two days ago. There are settings even adjust the tablet resolution (the default is 1024x768).

If you're wondering how to compile a kernel, there's a sticky post on top of this slackware forum that will help you.

I just recompiled my kernel with USB support, but it still don't work... A i didn't found anything about tablet support besides Wacom's tablet. The only resolution i found had something to do about the mouse. I opened my console just after recompile my kernel and type

modprobe usb-uhci
modprobe uhci
modprobe hid

i get the same error message for all: Can't locate module usb-uhci.

Help!

yea that "can't locate module" error is one I get whenever I try to modprobe as well which tells me there's something we're doing wrong during the compile process.
