Hello I have just been successful in installing and using the product, but with some difficulty.
My Linux system is 2.6.12-12mdk, and the drawing tablet is Wacom Volito model FT-0405-U. I downloaded linuxwacom-0.7.4-2.tar.bz2 when that was the latest version, and following the instructions in the linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto, did not even get action out of the devices. The device(s) was loaded by insmod into /dev/input/event2, and configuring XFconfig86 / Xorg.conf I could see the devices in Gimp. "xidump -l" reported the devices but saw nothing if I ran the program for a device. Similarly wacdump showed no activity, however with wacdump, if I loaded the program with a pen hovering it would report the pen but no movement, or with any of the pen switches pressed they would be reported but no movement. I had no luck with the device in X. I then downloaded linuxwacom-0.7.4-3.tar.bz2, and installed that, and everything came to life in the console interface wacdump. X refused to work though, with 3 comments in the log file: (EE) No input driver matching `Wacom' for all three devices (Stylus, Cursor and Eraser). "xidump -l" also did not report the devices, so I re-installed the wacom_drv.so from release linuxwacom-0.7.4-2.tar.bz2, and magic... it all worked. Just as you had reported in your instructions that there had been a problem with pressure and the airbrush for Gimp, I found the same problem. Renaming the ~/.gimp2.2 directory and restarting Gimp solved the problem. I may have made some mistakes on the original installation, and I was foxed as to what to do to solve it. It may have been necessary to load the source files from wacom into the /usr/src/linux-2.6.12-12mdk/drivers/usb/input/ kernel directory, which I did not do originally. However, my main concern was the fact that loading wacom_drv.so from the current release linuxwacom-0.7.4-3.tar.bz2 does not work. I have backed it out and reinstalled it and it refuses to work with X. Hope that this can be of use to you somewhere. regards Graham Lambert _______________________________________________ Linuxwacom-discuss mailing list Linuxwacom-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxwacom-discuss
