Problems with Wacom Bamboo over Gutsy

[Bruno Mendoza]

Hi all,

I'm trying to Wacom Bamboo Fun Small works over Ubuntu 7.10 (kernel
2.6.22-14) but i can't do it.

I visited https://wiki.ubuntu.com/wacom and I followed up all the steps
here but it didn't seem any change.

The ouput of 'wacdump' commmad over all events in '/dev/input/' doesn't
return anything related with Wacom device.

The content of 'xorg.conf' is

# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool,
using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades
*only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically
updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

As you can see there isn't error on 'xorg.conf' and any related line
with Wacom on '/proc/bus/input/devices'.

As well I tried to install the driver linuxwacom-0.7.8-3 with the
script ./prebuilt/install but ubuntu has no support to 'yum' command.

Can anybody help me with this?


Thanks,

Bruno.

Sorry but my english. :-)

Hi Bruno,
I'm currently struggling to get it working again in Gutsy too (I
recently reinstalled my system).
The following things to look out for.
the prebuilt setup is apparently Fedora only, so that won't work.
But what should work is the following:
first install Ubuntus build-essential (sudo apt-get install build-essential)

go to the folder  linuxwacom-0.7.8-3/
and execute the following:
./configure --enable-wacom
if that spits back some error messages, you need to install a few -dev packages.
I'm not 100% sure which ones, but off the top of my head: ncurses-dev
xserver-xorg-dev
if those are installed, run the command again:
./configure --enable-wacom

then you enter 'make'
and after that has finished you enter 'sudo make install'

I noticed that you had this in your xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
       Driver          "wacom"
       Identifier      "stylus"
       Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
       Option          "Type"  "stylus"
       Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
       Driver          "wacom"
       Identifier      "eraser"
       Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
       Option          "Type"  "eraser"
       Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
       Driver          "wacom"
       Identifier      "cursor"
       Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
       Option          "Type"  "cursor"
       Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

you need to comment the lines with 'Option          "ForceDevice"
"ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY' (just add a # in front of those)
and you also need to add
Option "USB" "on"
to those sections.
And uncomment the three lines at the bottom of the file. (the one that
has '# Uncomment if you have a wacom tablet' above them)

If you also want to enable the ring and buttons add this too
Section "InputDevice"
       Driver          "wacom"
       Identifier      "cursor"
       Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
       Option          "Type"  "pad"
       Option          "USB"   "on"
EndSection

and add a
InputDevice     "pad"        "SendCoreEvents"
to that lower section.

BTW, there could be an issue with the 'device' "/dev/input/wacom"
You might want to check if that file exists. If it doesn't, then you
need to find out under which event your Wacom is hiding.
you could do that with 'wacdump /dev/input/event0' (0 upto 6, normally)
if any of those events give back a 'core dump' error message, chances
are that that is the Wacom (for some reason if Wacom is mentioned in
xorg,conf, wacdump doesn't work anymore)

Please before you do any altering to your xorg,conf file, first make a backup!

Whoops, I forgot to add this:
You also have to execute these instructions, before you restart your system:
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/installwacom

And then perhaps test it using these instructions:
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/loadwacom

After all that, and a reboot, you should be able to use your wacom tablet.
And you can set the actions for the buttons with instructions like these:
xsetwacom set pad AbsWUp 4 #scroll up
xsetwacom set pad AbsWDn 5 #scroll down
xsetwacom set pad button3 4 #< key: scroll up
xsetwacom set pad button1 5 #> key: scroll dn
xsetwacom set pad button2 1 #FN1 key: left mouse button
xsetwacom set pad button4 3 #FN2 key: right mouse button

(that's my set up for my Wacom)

hi

no problem apparently for the configure step, but make generates one

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXi

thanks for your help
