Latest xf86-input-wacom works with xorg1.7!

z.s.tar.gz · 2009-11-22 00:04:36

Finally! For all you who were in the dark like me, you can grab 0.10.1 here
Just unpack it, run ./autogen.sh, and make!

lynucs · 2009-11-24 22:06:24

Hmm, didn't work for me.

did you just do

./autogen.sh
make
make install

?

z.s.tar.gz · 2009-11-24 22:40:44

Yeah. autogen requires a package be installed as a build dependency, I can't remember what it was though.
xorg macro something.

Also, clicking doesn't work (at least for me), but technically this is a dev release

stick a ./configure in there too before the make.

here is some error part regarding wacom in Xorg log:

actually, autogen does .configure for you after it does some other stuff. (I thought the same thing, but read the output from autogen.sh and ./configure and you'll see they're almost the same.)

As far as hal goes, support is buggy at best according to the release notes.

Looking forward to the official non-developer plays-nice-with-hal 0.11 release!

I get the same result when trying the xf86-input-wacom-git package from AUR (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32033). I tried to experiment with the commit http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~whot/xf86- … 652e45d4e5 but have not yet found a way to get X with wacom working.

lynucs · 2009-12-01 11:17:07

with xorg 1.7.2 I get no segfault with linuxwacom, but the screen stays black and i can't switch to any VT.
Seems that intel graphics, kms, xorg and wacom do not play well together on my x41t.

fphillips · 2009-12-01 17:20:41

This is a tablet PC screen, not a separate pen tablet that you can try booting unplugged I guess.

anteater · 2009-12-03 16:39:38

Tried xf86-input-wacom-git today again and get no segfault when I comment out every trace of wacom in my xorg.conf. Stylus works but cannot right click and it does not rotate with my screen.

Then I reenabled my xorg.conf wacom settings step by step and did not get any errors. Stylus can right-click but the click is done immediatly when I press the thumb button - not when I hold it and then click the screen. The stylus could not be configured (no wacomcpl in xf86-input-wacom?) and it could not be rotated.

Installed linuxwacom 0.8.4-9 and everything works as good as ever...

The conf I'm using on my x61t: http://gist.github.com/248310

anteater · 2009-12-03 18:36:39

Oh well, after rebooting it does not work any longer. X crashes again with a segmentation fault. Somehow the mix of installing xf86-input-wacom, removing it and installing linuxwacom resulted in a very usable solution until the next reboot

okay, tried to roll back to: xorg-server-1.7.1.901-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz and to xorg-server-1.7.1.902-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz on my x41t. With that xorg-version linuxwacom was already running some day. Guess what - still segfautls on startx x when linuxwacom installed. I have the feeling, that it's not (only) the xorg-server issue. Maybe it's a matter of some new kernel, kms or some lib like glibc which was updated?

Now i have tried it also with older kernel and disabled KMS, no luck either.
Curious..

Here's the output of startx:

_Any_ hints are welcome.

EDIT:
oh, by the way, when I install linuxwacom, i also can't switch to any VT. it's just a black screen with a non blinking cursor in the left top corner. without kms, there's just a black screen w/o a cursor.
