Hello, all.
I have an hp tx2000 tablet and am having trouble getting the tablet functionality to work correctly. I am running the latest kernel (2.6.28.7-2 ARCH) and the latest wacom driver from AUR (0.8.2-4). I have followed the directions on the Arch Wiki and while the touchscreen works fine, I am not able to get the stylus and eraser working.
All of this is performed before X is started, but the results in X are the same.

There is also the following in dmesg:
$ dmesg

[...]Googling for the error -113 didn't turn up anything that looked terribly useful. I also can't find anyone else with the same error. Is there something really obvious I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've got the same problem as you. My machine is the HP tx2500 tablet PC.
At the beggining I thought that my stylus was not being a cursor and only being able to drag things. Then I tried to do it with my finger and realized that actually only the touch was working. This is not a X configuration issue since when you do "cat /dev/input/wacom" and get your stilus pen near the screen, you get nothing. You only get some output when something touches the screen
Just to inform: I tried booting the ubuntu 8.10 and the behavior of the wacom devices was the same of what we're seeing.
found something useful:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph … tid=525124
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php? … _id=236872
that's not good anyway, but at least I think it's that problem: Let's try doing a downgrade to a kernel up to 2.6.27 and see what happens

Ok, I followed the tips on http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php? … _id=236872 and it worked! This was the part that matters:
cd linuxwacom-0.8.2-2
./configure --enable-wacom
cd src/2.6.27
make
sudo cp wacom.ko /lib/modules/linux-2.6.28-ARCH/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/
sudo depmod -aAnd after I booted (I think that a rmmod and modprobe on wacom without the X started is enough, still...) it is working as it should, and a "dmesg | grep wacom" returns:
usbcore: registered new interface driver wacom
wacom: v1.49:USB Wacom Graphire and Wacom Intuos tablet driver
Finally!
Have fun

I actually just figured it out a few minutes ago following basically the same steps. When installing linuxwacom from AUR (using yaourt), the final package contains the following:
linuxwacom /etc/
linuxwacom /etc/udev/
linuxwacom /etc/udev/rules.d/
linuxwacom /etc/udev/rules.d/10-wacom.rules
linuxwacom /usr/
linuxwacom /usr/bin/
linuxwacom /usr/bin/wacdump
linuxwacom /usr/bin/wacomcpl
linuxwacom /usr/bin/wacomcpl-exec
linuxwacom /usr/bin/xidump
linuxwacom /usr/bin/xsetwacom
linuxwacom /usr/include/
linuxwacom /usr/include/wacomcfg/
linuxwacom /usr/include/wacomcfg/wacomcfg.h
linuxwacom /usr/lib/
linuxwacom /usr/lib/TkXInput/
linuxwacom /usr/lib/TkXInput/libwacomxi.a
linuxwacom /usr/lib/TkXInput/libwacomxi.so
linuxwacom /usr/lib/TkXInput/libwacomxi.so.0
linuxwacom /usr/lib/TkXInput/libwacomxi.so.0.0.0
linuxwacom /usr/lib/TkXInput/pkgIndex.tcl
linuxwacom /usr/lib/libwacomcfg.a
linuxwacom /usr/lib/libwacomcfg.so
linuxwacom /usr/lib/libwacomcfg.so.0
linuxwacom /usr/lib/libwacomcfg.so.0.0.1
linuxwacom /usr/lib/xorg/
linuxwacom /usr/lib/xorg/modules/
linuxwacom /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/
linuxwacom /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wacom_drv.so
linuxwacom /usr/man/Now unless I'm missing something, shouldn't there be a wacom.ko in there somewhere? I am running 2.6.28 while the driver's src/ folder only contains up to 2.6.27.
Nevertheless, its working now, thanks for your help!

so did you guys get all your stuff working? i am also running the hptx2000 and i have stylus, eraser and button working...but no touchscreen, the touchscreen event doesnt even show up when i do a:
ls -l /dev/input/by-path
...only the stylus and eraser show up as follows:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2009-07-30 16:51 pci-0000:00:0b.1-usb-0:2.3:1.0-event-mouse -> ../event9
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2009-07-30 16:51 pci-0000:00:0b.1-usb-0:2.3:1.0-mouse -> ../mouse1
anyway, here is what i did:
1. installed linuxwacom-dev from AUR
2. ran commands
rmmod wacom
depmod -a
modbprobe wacom
3. adjusted my xorg.conf as per this forum post:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … ost6274392
(i used the "Favux_TX2000_xorg.conf" attached to the post)
and that was it, i restarted X and my eraser and stylus and button all worked. now according to this post:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … ght=tx2000
...because i am compiling the latest driver (by installing from AUR), then HAL hotplugging no longer applies and anything i do to .fdi files wont make a difference at the moment...is that right?

have anyone solve touchscreen problem?
Offline
I'm on a tx2500, as well. The pen and touch input was detected out of the box on a new install of Chakra (up-to-date Arch with KDEmod and some other stuff).
My issue is that I am completely unable to calibrate either the wacom pen or the touchscreen in my current configuration.
The wacom-utility package from AUR didn't help. I edited the PGKBUILD so it didn't depend on linuxwacom, just to see if it would work without it. It runs, but it won't calibrate anything.
I've tried building the latest linuxwacom drivers, both from the AUR and from Sourceforge, but they don't seem to be working for me.
Here's the output from yaourt starting a few lines before the error:
gcc -shared -nostdlib -o wacom_drv.so xf86Wacom.o wcmSerial.o wcmUSB.o wcmISDV4.o wcmXCommand.o wcmCommon.o wcmCompat.o wcmConfig.o wcmFilter.o wcmTilt2Rotation.o -Bstatic -lgcc

Aborting...
Error: Makepkg was unable to build linuxwacom package.Obviously it can't find one of the header files, but what package supplies those headers? (i have the linux-headers and linux26-headers packages, so i'm a bit confused).
If everything is getting detected, do I just need to edit the appropriate .fdi file or xorg.conf to get something usable?
