Hey folks,

UPDATE: I've solved my problem and I've added it to wiki entry detailing the installation of Archlinux on my Toshiba Satellite R15 tablet pc. It's written for noobs by a noob. Hope it helps someone out.

--Original Post Below--
I can't get my tablet to work. I've tried every method I can find in this forum and around the internet, but I just can't get it. Following the instructions found in this forum (and alternatively, I've tried every other set of instructions I can find on the internet), I am able to get as far as having the wacom module loaded on boot.

[root@tablet luke]# dmesg | grep wacom
usbcore: registered new driver wacom
drivers/usb/input/wacom.c: v1.45:USB Wacom Graphire and Wacom Intuos tablet driver

Which is good. However, no device is created in /dev for the tablet. Nor is there any tablet related out put from /proc/bus/usb/devices

[root@tablet luke]# more /proc/bus/usb/devices

What would cause there to be no device? I checked all of /dev/ttyS and everything in /dev/input. I also looked for /dev/wacom, but it does not exist.

I've used the packages in the AUR. Compiled them with makepkg. Then installed them with pacman -Af linuxwacom. I then put usbhid, evdev and wacom in the modules section of /etc/rc.conf. When that didn't work, I tried varying the build options. When that failed, I tried every possible combination of the build options in the PKGBUILD with all possible combinations of the modules in rc.conf.

When nothing worked, I removed it all and tried the source straight from the linuxwacom site, following their instructions. Same thing. No device. Nothing seems to work.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Has anyone had success on a Toshiba Satellite R15 Tablet PC? If so, can you describe the steps or indicate where to get the same procedure you followed?

I managed to get it going.

The part I missed was "setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x0338 irq 4 autoconfig"
