i installed this on the hp tx2000 and wacom.ko is nowhere to be found, thus i can't rmmod wacom.  what can i try doing?

I was getting this error when using the old driver, compiling linuxwacom 0.8.2 using the current version of xorg-server solved my problem.

Re: Wacom tablet discussion

Interestingly enough I just setup my Graphire 4 today. I got the standard AUR tarball, then used a PKGBUILD the maintainer posted in the comments. I then edited my xorg.conf according to the wiki and it works perfectly!

Re: Wacom tablet discussion

well, i compiled the wacom stuff using

prefix=/usr/local

so thats why all my binaries (wacomcpl, xsetwacom etc) ended up in /usr/local/bin and then they were unusable.  so i had to copy them to /usr/bin and now they all work

but it seems kinda 'hacky' to have to do that...the thing is that the arch wiki suggests compiling sources to /usr/local - but that puts my binaries in a ostracised location.

Re: Wacom tablet discussion

Are you using the linuxwacom PKGBUILD from the AUR?

Re: Wacom tablet discussion

There were some issues with the 0.8.0/1 versions and the recent xorg change but it has been recently upgraded to 0.8.2 to correct these problems and may be worth trying again.

Re: Wacom tablet discussion

Sometimes, either when I start the computer or right in the middle of an active X session, my pen stops working. The regular mouse, however, still works. I had the same problem in Ubuntu (x86_64, in Ubuntu as well as Arch), with this tablet (an x61t), as well as with a Motion LE1700 (if anything, the problem occurs more on the Motion in Ubuntu). I checked my xorg log after seeing this error while doing a restart (a little log appears before the shutdown script commences):

Wacom unable to read ISDV4 % data after 3 tries at (38400)
 cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "ISDV4"
Wacom unable to read ISDV4 % data after 3 tries at (38400)
(==) Wacom General ISDV4 tablet speed=9600 (38400) maxX=24576 maxY=18432 maxZ=255 resX=2540 resY=2540  tilt=disabled

Has anyone else experienced the same error? Trying to start a new X session, without restarting (via Ctrl-Alt-Backspace), does not work. It needs a full restart before my pen (and touch) work again. Has anyone experienced the same problem? I just tried re-installing linuxwacom from the AUR just in case, though time will tell if it'll help.

If it helps to know, but I don't run a DE, just Openbox with a few programs . Nothing very resource-heavy, RAM use is almost always under 200MB (4GB total) and CPU use is in the 1-5 range percent per core.

I get that error too. For me it comes when I close my lid while X is running. I have to reboot to get it to work again. Its annoying because I use my tablet to take notes in class and the HP BIOS doesn't let me disable the beep on startup like my x41t did. Did you ever figure out how to fix it?

Re: Wacom tablet discussion

Well, it hasn't happened recently. It's happened to me in that one instance, and at max, once since. My sister's tablet, the Motion (as I mentioned), has this problem only too often, so I'm still looking for a solution. What's now bothering me is the recent X server update... which hasn't been too kind to tablet PCs.

Re: Wacom tablet discussion

Sorry for the necro, but I have exactly the same problem like you, sfauzia. Ever found out how to fix it? It's really going on my nerves. I'm wondering by now if something with the hardware is simply broken. Then again it wouldn't make sense that a reboot makes it work again.
