Ok, stupid mistake from my side, sorry.. Broke rule #2.. 'Never deliver something that you haven't compiled and tested' Even if it's only a small cleanup that *shouldn't* change anything... I've managed to fix the auto-aspect-resize thing, new version is available as you read this; http://195.38.3.2/linuxprojs/ If you don't want auto-resize when connecting a new tablet you need to supply the module with the parameter 'noautoaspectrescale=1' when loading the module (or changing it before you plug in the tablet). If you want to have a correct aspect you'll need to patch a few files in wacom_drv and recompile it. A patch for 0.7.4-3 is included in the tar. The patch fixes a parameter caching issue and it'll also patch the function that read data from the device so it'll try to reopen the driver once when it gets a read-error. However... This probably won't fix the problem with the pad not working... and I'm not going to try to fix it either as this is most likely the last version I'll make of this module :/ The problem is that I had to dig into the wacom_drv-code as I had to go on a bug-hunt due to some parameter caching issues, and as I did that I discovered just how many dependencies the X-driver has on the actual HW it has connected. In short; If the X-driver doesn't know exactly which HW is connected it has only some, not all, of the tablet-specific fixes/features/.. are made available. As my kernel module is a 'generic' tablet all but the most simple tablets will work with only a limited support of the features, and I don't consider this good enough. This was not fun to discover as I just finished the resize-thing and it worked pretty well. I really thought this could be something that could work when I started it but I guess it was a bit optimistic. I still need something that sits between the HW and X just like this module so this doesn't mean I'll throw in the towel completely, I just need to figure out a way to do this in a better way (I've got a few ideas that might get me there..). Oh, well.. I was a fun getting to this point. I must thank all of you who tested the module and gave me feedback, it gave me a boost trying fix the things I didn't get right the first time. Too bad it couldn't reach my goal though.. Sorry guys. BR Magnus Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
