Hello, all... I couldn't find much in the archives for this list about X server support for the USB Wacom Graphire, so I thought I'd make sure those who are interested know about this driver I found via Google: http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-PaloAlto/1710/wacom4linux.html The page contains a driver for the USB Favo/Graphire for XFree86 3.3.x, modified by Matsumura Namihiko from what appears to be an older version of Fred Lepeid's XFree Wacom driver. Both the page and many comments in the code are in Japanese, so my Kanji dictionary and I have been spending a lot of quality time together lately with partial success... Which is still a big improvement over "blinking amber light". :) I'm using the driver with XFree 3.3.5 (though I compiled against 3.3.6 sources which I had handy), a 2.3.99pre7-pre4 kernel, and gsumi to test (linked to a gtk+ 1.2.6). I had to #include <asm/types.h> to squash some errors in linux/input.h about __u16 not being defined, but otherwise it compiled quite nicely once I pointed the makefile at my X sources. So far I've only managed to get the eraser & mouse to do anything, and have gotten no response using the pointy end of the stylus. Setting the devices as 'Alwayscore' to move the core pointer causes the X server to die with a sig11 when I move them (ouch!). Both the mouse ("WacomCursor") and eraser will work in gsumi (though it seems to take some convincing, I have to flip back and forth between things to get it running) but the Y-axis is flipped and pressure sensitivity doesn't seem to work. Also after a few minutes my machine locked up, though this could be an unrelated 2.3.99x problem (nothing in the logs, of course) and hasn't happened again yet... Here's the relevant section of my XF86Config: ------------------------------------------- Section "Module" Load "xf86WacomUSB.so" EndSection Section "Xinput" SubSection "WacomStylus" Port "/dev/input0" DeviceName "WacomStylus" Mode Absolute EndSubsection SubSection "WacomEraser" Port "/dev/input0" DeviceName "WacomEraser" Mode Absolute EndSubsection SubSection "WacomCursor" Port "/dev/input0" DeviceName "WacomCursor" Mode Absolute EndSubSection EndSection ------------------------------------- Does anyone have any suggestions on things I might be doing wrong before I go back to my kanji dictionary and give the directions & comments another try and/or bug the author? -- brion vibber ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
