Re: graphic tablet controls
"how recent a kernel do you have? what version of Debian are you on? what desktop?" I'm running stretch, using a 4.9.0-6 kernel. The problem exists on all the major desktops including GNOME, KDE, Cinammon, and LXDE, so the problem is unlikely to be the desktop "First of all check if your Wacom device is supported by linux - not all of them are. For more check here https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/3yfz1v/wacom_intuos_draw_and_linux/"; Thanks for the link, but I already know that the Intuos Draw is supported at least partially, because I am using it as a mouse replacement, and stretch detects it. The question is why the desktop tools can't detect it. I found some information on the Arch website that didn't directly help me (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wacom_tablet), but it does suggest that /dev/input/wacom should have been created -- which, on my system, didn't happen. Any idea if that file could be created manually -- and, if so, how? The Intuos Draw is clearly supported to a degree, because I am using it as a replacement. o ___o Bruce Byfield (on Pacific time) 604-421-7189 Writer of "Designing with LibreOffice" www.designingwithlibreoffice.com

Any idea where to go from > here? how recent a kernel do you have? what version of Debian are you on? what desktop? i'm not familiar at all with these devices but the above questions may help someone else give a better answer. in nosing around google i'm seeing some people talk about them and that they are not new devices. one person says that after reboot it worked... has that been tried? songbird
