Wacom Intuos3 Problem

Resolved. Solution was to use drivers version 0.8.0, rather than 0.8.1. Credit to rmrfwindows


Hi all.

I'm in the process of trying out ArchLinux, considering a switch fron Ubuntu. I'm rather impressed so far, but I've ran into a hurdle regarding my Wacom, and Intuos3 model. When I apply pressure, the X stops responding to the tablet until I pull the pen away from the tablet completely. Gimp et al recognise that I have a Wacom, and everything else appears to be working (express keys, etc..).

So far, I've installed LinuxWacom from the AUR yesterday, and set up udev as per the wiki and configured Xorg.conf as per the following snippets.

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "cursor"    "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "stylus"    "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "eraser"    "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "pad"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse0"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mouse_udev"
    Option      "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    Option    "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Option    "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Driver        "wacom"
    Identifier            "stylus"
    Option        "Device"    "/dev/input/wacom"
    Option        "Type"        "stylus"
    Option        "USB"        "on"
    Option        "Mode"        "Absolute"
    Option        "Vendor"    "WACOM"
    Option        "tilt"        "on"
    Option        "Threshold"    "5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Driver        "wacom"
    Identifier            "eraser"
    Option        "Device"    "/dev/input/wacom"
    Option        "Type"        "eraser"
    Option        "USB"        "on"
    Option        "Mode"        "Absolute"
    Option        "Vendor"    "WACOM"
    Option        "Threshold"    "5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Driver        "wacom"
    Identifier            "cursor"
    Option        "Device"    "/dev/input/wacom"
    Option        "Type"        "cursor"
    Option        "USB"        "on"
    Option        "Mode"        "Relative"
    Option        "Vendor"    "WACOM"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier            "pad"
    Driver        "wacom"
    Option        "Type"        "pad"
    Option        "Device"    "/dev/input/wacom"
    Option        "ButtonsOnly"    "off"
    Option        "USB"        "on"
EndSection

I've tried removing pad, cursor and my mouse from Xorg.conf to no avail. Additionally 'cat /dev/input/wacom' only seems to display information outside of X. I'm not sure if this means anything.

Any help much appreciated.

Regards,

Re: Wacom Intuos3 Problem

I had the same problem with the Graphire4 tablet. Everything worked except for using the tip or eraser-tip (kinda the most important part I'd assume).

I fixed it by using the linuxwacom production version (0.8.0) instead of devel (0.8.1) and it started working. Here's a modified PKGBUILD (just changed pkgver and md5sum):


# Contributor: Ilya Galushko <helloy-ilya@yandex.ru>

pkgver=0.8.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="drivers for Wacom tablets"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')

depends=('libxi' 'ncurses' 'tk' 'pixman')
options=('!libtool' '!emptydirs')
install=linuxwacom.install
source=(http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/linuxwacom/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2
        10-wacom.rules)
md5sums=('1d89b464392515492bb7b97c20e68d4e' '02d3262b7dd10791b0c74abbaac1b933')

build() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
  cp ChangeLog $startdir

  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install

  install -D -m 644 "$startdir/10-wacom.rules" "$pkgdir/etc/udev/rules.d/10-wacom.rules"
}

Re: Wacom Intuos3 Problem

Thanks very much for that. That's what I get for just yoinking the drivers without looking at them in more detail.

Re: Wacom Intuos3 Problem

Hey there. Sorry to bump a way old thread, but I'm having the same problem as TheBaron was. I'm trying the solution, but I guess something has changed since then, and it can't find what it's looking for. To be exact, I'm getting this:

  -> Downloading linuxwacom-0.8.0-6.tar.bz2...

I'm using a Bamboo Fun. Let me know if you need any more info.

Re: Wacom Intuos3 Problem

Is it, uh, acceptable to double post with 6 days in between? >.<

I might also add:  I'm having issues installing from source, too.

Make is giving me this:
