Hi, well there is my only problem with PclinuxOs so far and a very annoying one since I need my wacom for my studies'''
I have a Wacom pen&touch (cth-460) which does not work with the linuxwacom-0.8.4-2 that is on the repositories and installed by default. With the 0.8.4-2 the tablet is completely dead. When I uninstall it and reboot It starts moving but it doesn't work properly and the stylus doesn't draw where it is on the screen, it draws two centimeters away. Well, at least it detects the tablet as a tablet on every section ^^
Well, I downloaded the latest linuxwacom 0.8.8-8 (0.8.6-4 gives the same problems) and the trouble start here.
By the way, my kernel is
my kernel is: 2.6.33.5-pclos1.bfs
I've been searching since yesterday and I just got a information overload ''
That is what I tried after reading here and there. (I probably just messed all up in my newbieness) Either way if I even messed at searching and there is a way to easy install linuxwacom-0.8.8-8 I'll be much obliged.
root@localhost prebuilt]# apt-get remove linuxwacom (no problem here)
[root@localhost prebuilt]# ./uninstall
Please remove linuxwacom package if your system has an existing one

WARNING: Can not install Wacom X driver (wacom_drv)
since the proper directory has not been found
You need to compile and install wacom.(k)o manually if your kernel is out of date.
After adding your Wacom tools into /etc/X11/xorg.conf, please restart X server or simply reboot your system to run the new Wacom X driver.
Ok, I'm in the dangerous phase where you do not know much about anything but you start to have enough confidence to crush your os
So the first time I wrote the Xorg.conf using this instructions.
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/x11Obviously I was happy because I made a xorg.conf.bak and managed to fix my recently destroyed xorg.conf
Then I went to the
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/minihowto Could not find xorg-x11-server-devel kernel-devel, libXi or libXi-devel.i386 on the repositories but being a little bit scared i did not dare to use other distros .rpm after reading that is seriously not recommended.
Well, tried the configure and make way with this results.
[root@localhost linuxwacom-0.8.8-8]# ./configure --enable-wacom

Linux sometimes is the best lesson of humility that one can get.
Help?
