Hi Michael, Thanks for testing and the feedback. I'm marking this Fix Committed against the Intrepid kernel.

[Bug 195636] Re: /dev/input/wacom device missing for Bamboo Fun in Hardy
Care to test the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 kernel? It was most recently rebased with the upstream 2.6.25 kernel and is currently available in the following PPA: https://edge.launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive If you are not familiar with how to install packages from a PPA basically do the following . . . Create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kernel-ppa.list to include the following two lines: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ubuntu hardy main Then run the command: sudo apt-get update You should then be able to install the linux-image-2.6.25 kernel package. After you've finished testing you can remove the kernel- ppa.list file and run 'sudo apt-get update' once more. Please let us know your results.

[Bug 195636] Re: /dev/input/wacom device missing for Bamboo Fun in Hardy
Yes, the new Intrepid Ibex kernel based on 2.6.25 in the kernel PPA creates the /dev/input/wacom device, both with the device plugged in on startup, and when it is plugged in while the system is running. Notes: With the new kernel, the X server provides the expected behavior as documented in wacom-tools upstream; i.e. that the X server must be (re-)started after the Bamboo Fun is plugged in. (This is not the kernel's fault; it creates the devices correctly now.) Potentially relevant to anyone who reads this later: The Wacom-related sections of my X.Org config are from Gutsy; I did not try this with a config-less X.org setup. -- /dev/input/wacom device missing for Bamboo Fun in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195636 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm what Michael Chang suggested. I compiled the module (linuxwacom-0.7.9-7.tar.bz2) with --enable-wacom and just replaced wacom.ko with the compiled one.

[Bug 195636] Re: /dev/input/wacom device missing for Bamboo Fun
Ah, that would explain it. As far as I'm aware, Ubuntu prefers to manage as few patches as possible against the linux kernel tree, even if it means waiting for drivers to go from patches to the vanilla kernel to packages. Although it's somewhat surprising when tools' package versions don't match the driver versions in the kernel source. Personally, I'll probably just compile the modules from source this time around and recheck this bug in Hardy+1. -- /dev/input/wacom device missing for Bamboo Fun https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195636 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 195636] Re: /dev/input/wacom device missing for Bamboo Fun
The version of wacom driver in the kernel source tree is vastly outdated. The earliest kernel version at kernel.org that includes support for Bamboo Fun is 2.6.25-rc7. I guess it's unlikely the new driver is going to make it into Hardy final. Why is that it took so long for the new version to propagate into the kernel? The changes that make Bamboo Fun work were committed 5 months ago, according to cvs history: http://linuxwacom.cvs.sourceforge.net/linuxwacom/linuxwacom- dev/src/2.6.19/wacom_wac.c?r1=1.4r2=1.5 . -- /dev/input/wacom device missing for Bamboo Fun https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195636 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 195636] Re: /dev/input/wacom device missing for Bamboo Fun
@vectart: 1. Please don't swear. 2. As far as I am aware, the bamboo fun has never worked out of the box on either Gutsy or Hardy. It is possible to get them to work by manually compiling and installing the driver. However, I am surprised this is necessary for this hardware considering the driver in hardy should be new enough to support the Bamboo Fun. Hence I filed this bug. 3. Hardy is meant for experienced users and should not be used except for testing purposes until its release in April. -- /dev/input/wacom device missing for Bamboo Fun https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195636 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
