Waltop Evo tablet - getting to work

Hello Archers,

I have been trying to get my graphics tablet working but I have some issues.

I have tried this tutorial: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wacom_tablet
And automatic section did not worked.

I did all instructions till USB-devices section. And not sure what should I do next.

lsusb output for my tablet is:

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 172f:0510 Waltop International Corp.

I tried to add

ATTRS{idVendor}=="172f", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0610", SYMLINK="input/waltop-$env{WACOM_TYPE}"

line to 10-wacom.rules file. But id does not seems to work. Since director /dev/input/* empty.

P.S. Interesting thing that directory /dev/input/by-id contains to files:
usb-Waltop_International_Corp._Battery-free_Graphics_Tablet-event-mouse
usb-Waltop_International_Corp._Battery-free_Graphics_Tablet-mouse

But I have no Idea what I can do with them.

Would love to get some help from you here.
Thank you!

Please don't do that.

Also, please remove the superfluous "[need assistance]" tag from your topic title.

Alright. Should follow your rules though.

But what should I do if I need help in my problem and my post will be on 10th page, post same thread again?

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 172f:0510 Waltop International Corp.
ATTRS{idVendor}=="172f", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0610", SYMLINK="input/waltop-$env{WACOM_TYPE}"

Also consider trying a static name (in case WACOM_TYPE is unset)

About how things work here:
you do more investigation and update your post with the outcome of your efforts.
If you don't get a reply that likely means "nobody here knows atm" and trying a week later will likely not make a difference.

Edit: no markup inside code tags...

No. As the link says:

Do your own research, continue to troubleshoot, post the results, and be patient with the community. If people are reading your thread without answering or offering help, you may try supplying more details, or ask to be pointed in the right direction. Often, the reason for posts remaining unanswered is due in large part to the sparse details in the original post itself, or, the obvious availability of solutions in the wiki, on the forum or on the web, and the community's unwillingness to point out the obvious.
