Fujitsu Lifebook T5010 Wacom not working

Please excuse me if there is a current post that answers this,  I've searched quite a bit already.  I've tried the stock wacom packages, the AUR wacom packages, and compiling the 3.14-lts kernel with built in wacom support.  None of these produce a working stylus input.

My Fujitsu lifebook T5010 has a wacom digitizer built in.  This version is a serial pnp device not a usb one.  When I search dmesg for the device name I get a match:
#dmesg | grep -i fuj02e5
[    0.337990] pnp 00:0b: Plug and Play ACPI device, IDs FUJ02e5 (active)

#xsetwacom --list (produces no output)

#xinput --list  (no fuj02e5 listed)

⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]

    ↳ Fujitsu FUJ02BF                           id=10   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                              id=11   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]

#lsmod | grep wacom
wacom_w8001             5242  0
serio                  11120  10 serio_raw,atkbd,i8042,wacom_w8001,psmouse

It doesn't seem that the input system ever recognized fuj02e5 as a wacom device. If I (must) boot into windows the pen input works great.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Re: Fujitsu Lifebook T5010 Wacom not working

You have the kernel driver, and the device is being enumerated as an input device -- but did you install the Xorg driver?

You probably need to install xf86-input-wacom

Re: Fujitsu Lifebook T5010 Wacom not working

Sorry for the late reply.  Yes I've tried installing xf86-input-wacom from pacman and also the git version from AUR.  They both install fine but neither recognize the wacom digitizer.

Re: Fujitsu Lifebook T5010 Wacom not working

Okay, I know, answering a question from 6 years ago. Not sure if the poster or anyone still possesses the device, but I just found a solution for using wacom device in ancient device like this and those ancient thinkpad. I just leave my answer for future reference when I want to google the answer or somebody may find it useful. Pretty frustrating when you found no answer on the internet.

Basically newer kernel has dropped default enabling old serial wacom tablet on laptop screen, but the driver is still there.
By default, wacom driver is not load, so you may want to add a file on /etc/modules-load.d to enable wacom drivers on boot.

/etc/modules-load.d/wacom.conf

wacom
wacom_w8001

modprobe the drivers for loading the drivers without reboot.

You would like to enable the serial tablet by starting the systemd service.

wacom-inputattach@ttyS0.service

where ttyS0 can be found in /dev/ttyS0. In my T5010, ttyS0 is the wacom tablet, but it is possible to be different tty on other device.
This systemd service is static, meaning it could not be enabled on boot. You could add a udev rule to start the service after the kernel detecting the monitor.

/etc/udev/rules.d/100-wacom.conf

SUBSYSTEM=="drm", KERNEL=="card0", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl start wacom-inputattach@ttyS0.service"
