Hi X is 4.1.0 OS is ROCK Linux 1.5.12-DEV
I've got a couple of old unsupported drawing tablets that I'd like to write drivers for... So I started with the "sample" driver: .../xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/input/sample (or some such, from memory) Copied the directory to 'kurtaxlp'. After some trouble finally figured out how to get "make World" to make a Makefile for it, then finally got it to compile after deleting a couple of function calls that no longer exist? Anyway, finally got a kurtaxlp_drv.o file, put it in: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/modules/input ?? or some such. Added it in the InputDevice and ScreenLayout sections of XF86Config (pardon if the exact names are wrong, all is off the top of my head) When I do "X 2>err &" and look in err, it is found, loaded, setup is called, all seems well, then farther down is a line that says something like: (EE) ... no driver for 'kertaxlp' I'm thinking it is probably a lack of understanding about how to setup XF86Config, but it might be something missing in kurtaxlp.c? At this time kurtaxlp is still empty, just 'sample' modified enough to get it to compile and sort of load. If this empty driver would load completely, I could probably handle the rest. The 'sample' on which this is based seems to be out of date and will no longer compile out of the box. Would anyone be interested in guiding me through this? If so, there will be two more old tablet drivers for X: A Kurta XLP 1212 and a Wacom Digitizer II. I've got the Kurta about 95% figured out, enough to use it. Have not started with the Wacom yet.
