[SOLVED] hp tx2000 tablet pc works in ubuntu but not arch

im running arch64 on my hp pavilion tx2000 tablet pc.  the wacom is configured as a usb wacom in ubuntu and works perfectly
(i used this thread and that is how i got it work in ubuntu http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … st5469447)

i installed linuxwacom using yaourt without any problems, however when i type

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

the wacom doesnt appear.  i tried both the wiki guides from arch (tablet pc and wacom tablet) as well as the troubleshooting, but i cant detect my wacom  i also tried copying over my xorg.conf from ubuntu (i am dual booting ubuntu and arch) but that isnt working either.

wacdump -f tpc /dev/ttys0
12:16:16.936 ERROR: Failed to open /dev/ttys0: No such file or directory
WacomOpenTablet: No such file or directory
xidump -l
Virtual core keyboard          keyboard
Virtual core pointer           disabled
Generic Keyboard               extension
Configured Mouse               extension
xidump -u stylus
Unknown ui option stylus; was it configured?

here is the output of some suggestions from the "wacom tablet" arch linux wiki - the tablet does appear under lsusb

lsusb
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 056a:0093 Wacom Co., Ltd
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 08ff:1600 AuthenTec, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 064e:a110 Suyin Corp.
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04b4:6560 Cypress Semiconductor Corp. CY7C65640 USB-2.0 "TetraHub"
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:171d Hewlett-Packard
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001

so next i created 10-local.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d (as suggested) and put this into the file

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

but then when i do /dev/input and then ls...the wacom doesn't appear (even after restarting udev and restarting the computer)

wacomcpl does work, however there are no buttons for stylus, eraser etc.

i feel like ive tried eeeeverything (im starting to get confused now) - but i know it has to work because it works in ubuntu, and we all know arch is superior to ubuntu riiiiight???

what can i try next?? are there any arch users with the tx2000 pavilion?

thank you

Re: [SOLVED] hp tx2000 tablet pc works in ubuntu but not arch

are you sure the device isnt called /dev/ttyUSB0?

What version of linuxwacom are you using?

Try an older version of the driver and see if that works. If not, I would try linuxwacom's mailinglist.

Re: [SOLVED] hp tx2000 tablet pc works in ubuntu but not arch

okay i ran through the whole linuxwacom guide and it works!

i uninstalled the AUR files and now im using the latest beta driver.

the only problem is that i can't load wacomcpl...it just comes up blank...thats pretty dissapointing.
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index … o/wacomcpl

anyone fix this?

Re: [SOLVED] hp tx2000 tablet pc works in ubuntu but not arch

okay, i fixed it! i returned to the original ubuntu forum i had used...apparently the pci settings must appear in the xorg file, if you dont know how to do this just go here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … ost5469447
you can download his sample xorg to see it.

now here's the thing, the archlinux wiki says to add a line that says:

   Option         "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"

and

   Option         "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"

i had to remove those for each stylus, eraser and touch.  i also removed the cursor and made it into touch.  here are my xorg settings:

now, im no hacker, so this was a tad tedious, but welllll worth it! im beginning to understand the educational value of arch, and the power/speed you get in regurn.  my wacom has never been so responsive!

next i have to configure my synaptictouchpad (so the scroll function works), my fingerprint scanner, my webcam and all my extra little buttons (also the screenrotate thing)  if anywone has quickfixes id be happy to know otherwise its back to google.

nothing like arch!
