Getting Wacom tablet working on arch testing

Hey all,

I'd like to keep arch testing (64bit, kernel 2.6.29), but i also like to have my wacom tablet working.
The current linuxwacom package in aur doesn't work with xorg 1.6.0 and the dev version (0.8.3-1) of linuxwacomproject@Sourceforge will not compile because of hal errors.
Are there Archers on this testing forum that have this combination working? and can give me tips on getting this to work?

Greets,

Arjann

Re: Getting Wacom tablet working on arch testing

Forall who like to try it in future, i also posted a topic on the help forum of linuxwacom and got a answer that presumable this friday a new dev-version (0.8.3-2) will be out that should work.

Re: Getting Wacom tablet working on arch testing

i made a package from 0.8.3-2, so now there is a linuxwacom-dev package in AUR! it compiled and installed out-of-the-box
only i have some issues with it.

1. Eraser isn't working after connecting my tablet using hot-swappable fdi file. Is a hal issue because it can't add multiple devices although there is a xorg1.6 hack-patch which isn't in 0.8.3-2.
2. restarting x-server without tablet connected made my x-server to abort and therefore fail to start on my old (xorg1.5.3) stylus, eraser and cursor inputdevices that i still had in xorg.conf. I commented them out in xorg.conf for now, it is a xorg 1.6.0 autoAddDevices and autoEnabledevices issue. Does anyone have some ideas on how to fix this without setting these flags to false??

Re: Getting Wacom tablet working on arch testing

For the eraser problem, look at the rejected maxX maxY patch by the fedora dev's in the tracker. Apply that and the eraser works.
In reality, the eraser already works, it's just getting it's maxX and maxY set to 0 for some reason.

The other option is to just not use the HAL fdi and go back to the an xorg.conf that allows hal to auto-setup all the other devices. The HAL way doesn't give the devices the standard stylus/eraser names. So they don't show up in wacomcpl and xsetwacom. This means no rotation, which for me using a Tablet PC, is pretty important.

Re: Getting Wacom tablet working on arch testing

Ehm, on the linuxwacom site there is a comment on the maxX and maxY patch that it is patched within 0.8.3-2. So i think its the hal-setup patch within the same fedora dev path which wasn't patched because its a xserver 1.6.0 hack and not general applicable.

Re: Getting Wacom tablet working on arch testing

Awesome, I got this to work smile

Though I never use the eraser, since it is too much hassle turn over the pen every time I need to erase something.

Re: Getting Wacom tablet working on arch testing

Now that the new X server just came out of testing, my tablet pen and touch both aren't working. I installed the developmental version of linuxwacom, but there's no change. Any suggestions?

Re: Getting Wacom tablet working on arch testing

same here, wacom on x41t isn't working anymore since update on hardware enabled xorg 1.6 and kernel 2.6.29. adding .fdi file for wacom as mentioned in wiki didn't do the trick. really curious is, wacom isn't showing up in /proc/bus/input/devices..

so maybe it's a kernel issue?

tried to install the wacom-dev package from aur. no success.
_any_ help would be really great.

here's some xorg log which might be interesting:

(II) LoadModule: "wacom"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//wacom_drv.so
(II) Module wacom: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 4.3.99.902, module version = 1.0.0
        Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
        ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 2.1
(EE) module ABI major version (2) doesn't match the server's version (4)
(II) UnloadModule: "wacom"
(II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//wacom_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module "wacom" (module requirement mismatch, 0)

Re: Getting Wacom tablet working on arch testing

I don't think it's the kernel. I had the kernel update yesterday I think, and it worked perfectly. I'm pretty sure it's the new xserver-xorg package (1.6), because another person, who was using this when it was in the testing repo (there's a thread here on it), had the same problem.

[edit] Oh, right, this is the thread started by the person using the testing repo! I must be too tired. [/edit]

Re: Getting Wacom tablet working on arch testing

Lynucs, i got the same message after installing xorg-server 1.6. I deinstalled linuxwacom and installed linuxwacom-dev. That solved the issue. I also removed all the InputSections in xorg.conf concering the wacom tablet. Well works perfectly...i want to have the stylus in relative mode, going to fiddle a bit with /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-linuxwacom.fdi to see if i can add some settings there.

I am running kernel 2.6.28 though but it shouldn't be a kernel issue (else you would see something with dmesg or in /var/log/messages.log).

Re: Getting Wacom tablet working on arch testing

*sigh* in relative mode still this weird behaviour that once you lift the pen it xorg forgets about it. Switching to another terminal and then back to xorg refreshes xorg and the pen works. Not a really workable situation. Anyone got a clue how to get this fixed?

Re: Getting Wacom tablet working on arch testing

Oh my goodness, Ulf, you're right! (About switching to a virtual term and the pen working). That's far better than my pen not working at all! Thanks a million! Still looking, with you, for a proper solution though.

Re: Getting Wacom tablet working on arch testing

I upgraded earlier and it still works as always. Strange that you need to go to another VT and then back before it works.

Do you have anything in your xorg.conf or in a FDI file making some troubles in the neighbourhood?

i removed all configuration regarding input devices in xorg.conf. tried with and without fdi file for wacom. still doesn't work. how could i check at all, wether my system "sees" the wacom device? it's not in lspci nor in lsusb. it's actually not a usb-device at all, it's a built-in in x41 tablet.

tried to load the wacom module manually, no change.

Re: Getting Wacom tablet working on arch testing

I did some test and well, nothing seems to get it working. I included my Xorg.0.log just in case (and edited a few things out since it is almost 500kb). It doesn't make sense to me but maybe someone else knows what is going on. I think that the hotplugging is still not working as it should. When changing settings in fdi files concerning the wacom (when i am out of X), then removing the wacom from the usb and reinsert it, then starting X again, just results in a frozen pen.

When using the trick to switch to another terminal and back i get the output in the included output (sorry, around 30k file)

Are you also using a tablet PC, or a USB-attached tablet?

[edit] Nevermind, I see you're using the x60t. Strange, that I'm having a problem with the x61t! [/edit]

Re: Getting Wacom tablet working on arch testing

What is the equivalent to libexec in Ubuntu? I wanted to see if NWhisper's fix works in Ubuntu as well smile

Thanks. I was recently having trouble with mine, and that fixed it nicely. Does anybody want to add that to the wiki? I would, but I don't really understand the problem well.

Re: Getting Wacom tablet working on arch testing

NWhisper i followed your advice but the wacom is still terribly broken. Non of the debugging tools with the wacom work (xidump xsetwacom etc). Also doing an xxd /dev/input/wacom shows no output at all. When in Gimp i get a really weird behaviour that when using the pen it doesn't update the airbrush tool when you use it untill after a second or something, then there is a weird line coming from the left. I changed my xorg.conf to enable automatically add devices but that made things worse for gimp, it didn't recognize any wacom devices. It seems that the wacom tablet is just another mouse to the system...

Could anyone who has a tablet properly working with pressure and in relative mode explain how he got it working? Do you have to make changes to xorg.conf? To 10-wacom.rules or to the hal-setup policy files? I changed so much by now that my system is probably one big mess (and i am definitely completely clueless):(

Thanks for any help
