Graphire 4 no longer working properly(SOLVED)

xelados · 2007-11-24 12:32:02

Hi. I had my tablet (Wacom Graphire 4) working perfectly shortly after I joined these forums. However, a recent update or something has made it so that my tablet doesn't work properly, despite no discernable changes in my xorg.conf. Here's the relevant information that I could gather. I'll be glad to gather additional info as it's needed.

xelados@sporkbox: ~ $ cat /proc/bus/input/devices 

...

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=056a Product=0015 Version=0403
N: Name="Wacom Graphire4 4x5"
P: Phys=
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb1/1-5/1-5:1.0/input/input3
U: Uniq=

B: KEY=1c63 70011 0 0 0 0
B: REL=100
B: ABS=10003000003
B: MSC=1

...

Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
    Driver    "wacom"
    Identifier    "mouse"
    Option    "Device"    "/dev/input/wacom"

    Option    "InputFashion"    "Pen"
    Option    "Mode"    "Absolute"
    Option    "Protocol"    "Auto"
    Option    "SendCoreEvents"    "on"
    Option    "Tilt"    "on"
    Option    "Type"    "stylus"
    Option    "USB"    "on"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
    Driver    "wacom"
    Identifier    "eraser"
    Option    "Device"    "/dev/input/wacom"
    Option    "InputFashion"    "Eraser"

    Option    "Protocol"    "Auto"
    Option    "SendCoreEvents"    "on"
    Option    "Tilt"    "on"
    Option    "Type"    "eraser"
    Option    "USB"    "on"
EndSection

...And the udev rule to accompany it (10-wacom.rules):

KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/wacom"

I would appreciate any insight or support. I don't know what to do.

EDIT: I checked Xorg's log and did a 'cat /var/log/Xorg.log.0 | grep "(EE)"' to see if anything came up. Here's the output I got:

(EE) module ABI major version (0) doesn't match the server's version (2)
(EE) Failed to load module "wacom" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) module ABI major version (0) doesn't match the server's version (2)
(EE) Failed to load module "wacom" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) No Input driver matching `wacom'
(EE) No Input driver matching `wacom'
(EE) No Input driver matching `wacom'
(EE) No Input driver matching `wacom'

Here's a paste of the entire logfile: http://pastebin.archlinux.org/19973

[SOLUTION] kappa's suggestion (to recompile the linuxwacom package) turned out to be the fix. My tablet works great now!

Where did you get the driver from? What does pacman -Qs wacom say for you?
This seems like the right package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … 1&ID=13070

The recent xorg 7.3 update requires to update the driver.
Xorg-server 1.4, however, is not yet properly supported by linuxwacom.
While the latest dev version mostly works, there are a number of problems:
- xsetwacom/wacomcpl don't recognize the tablet
- several people have reported problems with brushes in gimp being offset from the stylus position
- there is a bug where left or up movement events are ignored by X
In those cases, downgrading X is the only solution.

'pacman -Qs wacom' returns the same package that you suggested..

I have X11 7.0-3 and xorg-server 1.4-5.. Am I better off just waiting for a fix? It boggles me why they'd upgrade xorg/X11 but leave tablet support broken.

The driver needs to be recompiled against the new xorg-server.

Not if you run into major problems, (I.e. proper 1.4 support is a matter of months rather than weeks)

Does that mean I need to redownload and compile the linuxwacom package now that I have a new xorg? Will I need to (re)compile anything else?

Yes, the package needs to be rebuilt.

No.
