[SOLVED] Wacom tablet not showing

tpalmerstudios · 2016-01-29 02:44:53

I bought a Wacom tablet today. A wacom Intuos Art. I tried following the Arch Wiki on it, but got stuck on xsetwacom --list devices. I continued on doing the steps manually, but nothing is working. (I really don't want to have to use Windows.) xinput list shows nothing related to Wacom. I have installed xf86-input-wacom along with wacom-udev. Rebooted twice and still it shows nothing. I really want this to work! Any suggestions?

Output of dmesg:
[14351.999321] input: Wacom Co.,Ltd. Intuos PTS Pen as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.0/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/0003:056A:033C.0007/input/input36

[14352.003534] wacom 0003:056A:033C.0008: Unknown device_type for 'Wacom Co.,Ltd. Intuos PTS'. Ignoring.

As you can see it ignores it. I am not able to use it as a cursor or anything. It flashes when I touch it or put the pen close to it. But othere than that, nothing.

Again, not working... And xsetwacom --list devices returns no output and an error code of 0.

Moving to "Kernel and Hardware".

Just tested on Windows 10. Works well, but I love my Arch and GIMP in Windows isn't working so hot for me. Also it is so much slower. Would appreciate any help with this. Going to test it on ubuntu 14.04 32 bit with 1 GB RAM. Don't make me reinstall!!!!

I had similar problem, turns out no kernels yet have support for our tablets. It was supposed it would go to 4.4, but it's not there. To fix that, either install input-wacom-dkms from aur, or manually install http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxwa … put-wacom/ (instructions can be found in inputwacom wiki).

Thanks Coriolis, but when I installed updates today it worked. I assume it had something to do with linux-firmware or linux-4.4.1. I actually haven't tested. I just saw that xsetwacom showed the devices. I will mark it as solved as soon as it works. (Finger working, but stylus still not. When I put stylus near tablet the light gets bright, and then the computer freezes. Cannot move to a terminal, nothing. May have something to do with two input devices being called the same? Found a question on linuxquestions that may be related.) Answer found on the ArchWiki page. (I'm an idiot, but I hope this helps someone else.) Wacom Tablet - ArchWiki This Article says if it doesn't show up with xsetwacom, then you need to install a patched version of input-wacom. (I didn't need to as they updated the one in the repositories.)
