After I built the port here, that file was new. I'm afraid I don't know anything more to be able to help. You did try make clean deinstall reinstall, right? -- Sterling (Chip) Camden| sterl...@camdensoftware.com | 2048D/3A978E4F http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com| http://chipsquips.com pgpBaaNUqqLnX.pgp Description: PGP signature

I'm afraid I don't know anything more to be able to help. You did try make clean deinstall reinstall, right? Something appears to have changed. About the fourth time I tried deinstalling and reinstalling (using a different approach each time), it finally produced the wacom_drv.so file. I'm not sure what that's all about. Of course, I'm not sure what the heck to do with that file now that I have it. It's a shared object file, which suggests to me that it should be used automatically by any software that needs it, but its presence doesn't appear to have any effect on the problem of my touchscreen not working. Any ideas? -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpYmNLkJl5IB.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Wacom tablet driver port doesn't seem to work
Quoth Chad Perrin on Sunday, 11 July 2010: I started working on getting FreeBSD running on a ThinkPad X60 this weekend. My goal was to get everything up to the standards of my T60, plus touchscreen and pen support for the Wacom display. The only problem I've encountered so far is the fact that when I tried installing the Wacom driver from ports, it did not seem to work as advertised. port: /usr/ports/x11-drivers/input-wacom result: The driver file will not load and, indeed, does not appear to exist anywhere on the system. There are no files with wacom in the name and a .ko filename extension on the system, anywhere, after installing the input-wacom port. Is there some other step I'm meant to take? I've searched all over the Web for something relevant, and have found nothing to shed light on the situation. Is the driver file named something more cryptic than what I'm trying to find (maybe a driver file that doesn't contain the string wacom in the name)? Any guidance would be appreciated. The FreeBSD version on the X60 is 8.0-RELEASE. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Looks like this may be it: /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input/wacom_drv.so -- Sterling (Chip) Camden| sterl...@camdensoftware.com | 2048D/3A978E4F http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com| http://chipsquips.com pgp4euqj6eHQH.pgp Description: PGP signature
