Re: Graphics tablet / Xorg / mouse problems
I think it should be sufficient to set hald_enable=FALSE in etc/rc.conf to deactivate hald instead of chmod usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald.

For starters hald should probably be disabled in rc.conf: hald_enable=NO. That said; how are you disabling kdm? Whats working now? This could be a case of root and user permissions, once one has a hold of the device another may not be able to control it and permissions are not passed on. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Can you replicate this while viewing the console [ctrl+alt+f1] rather than an X session, to see exactly what the kernel is panicing from? (I know systems don't really like being forcibly paniced, but it may help figure out what is happening.) -- Glen Barber ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I'm running KDE 3.5 and the most recent Xorg port with a Wacom Bamboo tablet and the wacom driver from the ports collection. I have the following problems with the tablet and mouse: 1) If I boot without the tablet plugged in, then plug it in later and restart X, the error message (EE) intel(0): [DRI] Unlocking inconsistency: Context 676684348 trying to unlock lock held by context 2 (EE) intel(0): [DRI] Locking deadlock. Already locked with context 676684348, trying to lock with context 2. is written to Xorg.0.log and kdm-bin.log so many times that it fills my /var partition and locks my system. Note that if I boot with the tablet already plugged in, this error doesn't appear, and everything works fine. This is actually not connected to the tablet in my opinion, it's a problem with 3D-acceleration of your video card, which apparently does not like being reset/restarted. Can you show us your Device Section? I loading the driver via the line 'uwacom_load=YES in /boot/loader.conf 2) If I remove the tablet from the computer (I've only tried it during an X session), the system panics and shuts down, whether or not I stop the wacom driver before removing the tablet. OK, this sounds like a serious kernel problem. 3) If I stop the wacom driver, then start it again, I cannot simply restart X and have the tablet work. I have to reboot in order for the tablet to be recognized, even in mouse mode. That's because the driver can not start a rescan of the hardware. It can only hook in when the tablet gets first detected. This is why the module has to be loaded from loader.conf. 4) Occasionally the pointer refuses to stay put and drifts to the top of the screen. Controlling the pointer with the mouse becomes difficult at this point, too, since it wants to float upwards. Unfortunately, I have difficulty reproducing this reliably. Once it starts, though, it doesn't stop until I end the X session. If the problem starts and then I stop the wacom driver without restarting X, it continues anyway. I have that with a cheap optical mouse sometimes, I plug it out and back in and the problem is gone. Since that panics your system this is hardly an acceptable solution. Anyway it looks to me like that is a hardware problem. 5) Xorg.0.log contains the following error (also included below): pad Wacom X driver can't grab event device, errno=1005 (I haven't honestly noticed any strange behavior on the 'pad' device, however.) Well, I have taken the liberty to forward this mail to Bartosz, he might be able to do something with that. Obviously the driver does not handle all data generated by the pad. Regarding 1) - and maybe 3) 4) - my guess is that the tablet is fighting with the mouse for control of the pointer, but I don't know how to check if that's the case or how to fix it if it is. No, that's not the way things work. I think you are facing two distinct problems here. One with your video card and one with the tablet driver. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
