missing uwacom.ko
On a fresh install of FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE, on a ThinkPad x60 tablet, there is an input-wacom package already installed. Unfortunately, it lacks probably the most important part of the package: the uwacom driver: # /usr/local/rc.d/wacom start Starting wacom. kldload: can't load /boot/modules/uwacom.ko: No such file or directory I brought up this same problem a few months ago on this list, but ultimately got no resolution, and set it aside for a while. It was not very critical at the time. I have more use for the laptop now, though, so I decided to try installing it from scratch again, and the exact same problem has arisen. There is simply no .ko file on the system for Wacom drivers at all. It occurred to me to try reinstalling the input-wacom package from ports, but unfortunately the port is identified as broken. Has anyone else gotten the uwacom.ko driver on their systems? If so, how? Are you using 8.1-RELEASE or something else? Is there a work-around for this problem? Google, thus far, has proven useless to me on this subject. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpqU6Gcfhtbf.pgp Description: PGP signature

Last time I've seen no uwacom.ko in /boot/modules was because of /boot was on a read-only mounted volume. Aother kind of my problem is: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=151596 Anyway, my best result for my wacom is with 7.3-release ports.tgz. I have a separate chroot for my Xorg-6.5 server and my X11 clients use TCP to connect to it. Let's see your problem by points: 1. Broken port. Is there any explanation why it's broken? anyway, there should be the way to override this although this may may not be a solution depending on the reason for port to be broken. 2. No uwacom.ko. Are you sure that it doesn't exist in your input-wacom/work directory when you successfully built the port? 3. You may note that ums(4) compiled into GENERIC statically, should not be present in your kernel before you try to kldload uwacom http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2009-January/189857.html And... ain't too much expectation from just a web search service ? ;-) 73!

Config includes something about a USB module -- which appears to be the module it wants to use -- but this is an integrated tablet that, as far as I know, does not actually use USB for anything. Seems a little odd to me that this whole thing would fail just because it doesn't have USB support when I'm not plugging anything in to a USB port. Do ThinkPad X-series tablets use USB? CP 3.
