: Hi, I changed gpm.conf for one psaux mouse and a tablet on ttyS0: : device=/dev/psaux : responsiveness= : type=ps2 : append="-l \"a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377\" -M -m : /dev/ttyS0 -l \"a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377\"" : (that should be all in one line). On console mode, the mouse worked, : but not the pen (but since I want it for X and the Gimp, it doesn't : really matter). On X neither the pen nor the mouse would work! try adding "-t wacom" to your append line somewhere after the "-M" then for X add (See "man gpm" & the -M -R options): Section "Pointer" Protocol "MouseSystems" Device "/dev/gpmdata" BaudRate 1200 Resolution 100 EndSection : I added the following line to /etc/X11/XF86Config (according to : Wacom-Tablet-Howto): : Section "Xinput" : SubSection "WacomStylus" : DeviceName "lapiz" : Port "/dev/ttyS0" : Baudrate 9600 : Mode Absolute : AlwaysCore : HistorySize 200 : EndSubSection : EndSection : But when rebooting, xdm refused to start X and 'startx' gave me this : error: : Config Error: /etc/X11/XF86Config:65 : SubSection "WacomStylus" : ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : Invalid SubSection name : The tablet is not a Wacom (it's a Conceptronic), and I'm running XFree : 3.3.2.3a-11 and gpm 1.14-3 ... : Now, what's that module xf86Wacom.so? can I use it with a non Wacom : tablet?
