OK, I need help with a Wacom Bamboo (Solved for one person)

[Animal]

I'm still trying to get this working..not sure if I'm doing it right or not probably going in circles, like a dog chasing his tail..lol

not sure exactly what steps I need to take..in the proper order..

not even sure if i have the right kernel

2010 kernel prior to the official release with the bfs kernel.

[BubbaBlues]

Animal this is probably a dumb question but have you looked here?
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/

I'm not smart enough to understand it but you might be.

[Meemaw]

Animal, in one section of that site, there is a list of programs that have to be installed in order for the make and make install to run right..... you might take a look at this page......

http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/minihowto

Seems like I needed the glibc packages, and the gcc-c++ as well....

 

[Animal]

Sorry!  That is misleading....
I guess I should change it, although it is solved for my daughter's Bamboo (which was what I posted for in the first place.)

I'm pretty sure the magazine will have a tutorial for it after 2010 Final is released. If your tablet doesn't work with the linuxwacom packages from the repository, you may have to download and install the package from the Linux Wacom Project website. The steps I used are in the previous pages of this post..... if you are squeamish about the command line, you may have to wait.... but basically;
1. Configure, make, and make install the package,
2. Copy the wacom.ko driver to your kernel directory,
3. Copy the other wacom.so.drv to its intended location,
4. Make sure the /etc/udev/rules.d/??-wacom.rules file contains your product id,
5. Edit your xorg.conf file to reflect the wacom.
6. Reboot
NOTE: this is not a complete how-to, only the BASIC procedure.... don't do this yet.....

Please post your specs to start with, and which Bamboo you have, and, with it plugged in, open a terminal as root and type     more /proc/bus/usb/devices    (post that output)   
and also      more /proc/bus/input/devices      (post that output)
and let's see what you have listed....

Step 2 where is the kernel directory?
Step 3 where is the intended location??
Step 4 ?? completely lost...

been working on this for hours and still no closer, I have the bamboo fun and right now its no fun

[Meemaw]

Sorry!

wacom.ko goes in /lib/modules/"uname"/kernel/drivers/input/tablet   ("uname" being the kernel number you have)

wacom_drv.so goes in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input  (It may be there, but check....... the make install doesn't always do it.)

Check the rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d to make sure your product id is there... the rules file is named 41-wacom.rules or 60-wacom.rules or something similar. There's one in the wacom directory you are working with in your /home ... you may have to copy it over.

Yes, I'm sure you aren't having any fun.....

 

[Animal]

  I get everything but the rules??

[Meemaw]

Sorry again!  I thought you went to LinuxWacom and downloaded a package there.... I believe the rules file is in the /src/util folder.

If not, here's one.....you'll need to remove the .txt extension (I'm sure you know that...)

 

[Animal]

Sorry again!  I thought you went to LinuxWacom and downloaded a package there.... I believe the rules file is in the /src/util folder.

I did and I built the package according to the readme but still no luck and I though the rules would have been installed automatically..didn't know where to look.

Maybe I'm missing the obvious but where do I find the wacom.ko to copy to the /lib/modules/"uname"/kernel/drivers/input/tablet

and the wacom_drv.so that goe into the /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input

I did a search and copied the files it found but they may not be the right ones?

[Meemaw]

In the LinuxWacom pkg there is a src directory with several folders with kernel numbers. Whichever one you used will have a folder with the wacom.ko driver....that's the one you copy to /lib/modules/2.6.32.11-pclos2/kernel/drivers/input/tablet

The wacom_drv.so is in the util folder in the same package (correction - it's in prebuilt/32 or prebuilt/64) and it's the one you copy to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input

You may have to copy the rules file over yourself as well. Check the rules file in /src/util and see if your product id is in one of the lines.

You should probably reboot and then run   more /proc/bus/input/devices   or   more /proc/bus/usb/devices to see if it's detected.

   Sorry you're having trouble!  I started on the LinuxWacom site. While I think I know how to do it now --- back in December, I was crazy!!!!! (I don't think I'm completely normal anyway!!!!)
 

[Animal]

I appreciate the help MeeMaw :0

I have done all of that but when I run more /proc/bus/input/devices it doesn't show up at all?? this is where i am confused, because I have followed all the steps but still no go??

I will keep trying, there has to be something I am not doing right..

[Meemaw]

Which package did you get from LinuxWacom?

(Our linuxwacom is on the live cd so it installed as well... you might go in and uninstall it if you didn't already...)

I'm thinking what else I did.....

 

[Animal]

I've tried both the 8.5.12 and the 8.6 driver from the Linux Wacom site..

Copying the wacom_drv.so to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input

Copying 60-wacom.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d


Editing /etc/X11/xorg.xconf added these lines

Thanks so much MeeMaw for all your effort, your help was truly appreciated .. I'd buy you a rose if I could

But I am finding a lack of control..any ideas on how to make it behave properly? lol...yeah I know I'm a pain...

[Meemaw]

Hurray!!!!   It works!!!

You are NOT a pain!!!!    (but I don't know...) When we got my daughter's Bamboo working, it worked pretty well, but she was over a week ago and the stylus doesn't draw where it is on the screen, it draws about an inch away!

You might try running wacomcpl and see if you can do anything with settings.

I also remembered I put      wacom    in the modprobe.preload file... that may be why yours wasn't working right away...

Congratulations!
