Hello,
I think I have created a work around for a problem I am having setting
up the device symlink via udev.
First the important stuff:
I am running Debian 3.1
Custom compiled kernel 2.6.17.8 (compiled to get the Wacom driver working)
If I try the udev rule you provide:
KERNEL="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}="056a", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/wacom%e"
This does not seem to work. For some reason when udev looks at the
"event*" information it does not have idVendor available or idProduct.
If I change the KERNEL="event*" to BUS="usb" then it does have the
idVendor and idProduct available.
So I wrote a script (/root/udev/wacom.sh) to detect my intuos3 4x5:
/#!/bin/sh
# Hack to check if intuos3 is being connected.
#
export VendorID=`cat /sys/${DEVPATH}/../id/vendor`
export ProductID=`cat /sys/${DEVPATH}/../id/product`
logger $VendorID:$ProductID
echo $VendorID:$ProductID
/I added the logger entry so that I can debug the connection. It is
also handy to make sure of what to put in the udev rule:
/KERNEL="event*" \
PROGRAM="/root/udev/wacom.sh", \
RESULT="056a:00b0", \
NAME="input/%k", \
SYMLINK="input/wacom1"/
Not particularly elegant, but it works. I don't know if this is a
driver, kernel, driver+kernel, distribution, etc problem. However, I
hope this will help in fixing whatever needs to be fixed. Let me know
if you would like me to test anything. There is probably a better place
to put the wacom.sh file, but this works for now.
Thanks for writing this driver,
Frank Carney
