Hi charlie6,trying to use a wacom tablet using Dpup-Stretch 7.5 RC-3 with kernel 4.9.101:
it seems that the iso is missing the wacom.ko tablets input driver:

I have reviewed the prior Dpup Stretch RC-2 release (4.1.48 and 4.9.71) and it seems neither iso has the wacom.ko tablet input driver (same deficit as the RC-3 isos).
Is it possible you successfully compiled the wacom.ko driver in your working installation of RC-2?
... you could try building again, using the larger RC-2 devx.
Would the larger RC-2 devx be compatible with the kernel-4.9.101 RC-3 system?... you could try building again, using the larger RC-2 devx.

Hi radky and rcrsn51,radky wrote:... a rebuild of the 4.9.101 kernel for RC-3 appears to generate the wacom.ko module. I don't have a Wacom Tablet to test, but maybe you could download the module and test in your installation of Dpup Stretch 4.9.101. Just remove the fake gz extension below and place the wacom.ko module in the following folder: /lib/modules/4.9.101-stretch/kernel/drivers/hid/
Edit:
Then run: depmod -a
(thanks rcrsn51).

I got a look in Stretchs debian packages: there the wacom.rules are the one on the Stretchs iso. So I am surely missing something about this state. Answer here:important:
this pet has a more exhaustive /lib/udev/rules.d/69-wacom.rules which includes the USB connected tablets, in order to create a lynk /dev/input/wacom to the right /dev/input/eventX.
This assumes that «...XOrg hotplug actually works ...» ==> Questions:«...
xf86-input-wacom (0.26.0+20140918-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* I dedicate this snapshot to Odin^Wclang.
* Include the systemd unit file for ISDv4 serial devices.
* Drop the old udev rules with all the by-type symlinks, now that XOrg
hotplug actually works we shouldn't need those anymore. Just use the
simpler rules from upstream (after prefixing them with a priority).

I tried modifying my xorg.conf file and all I got was a frozen screen.do we need to configure xorg.conf any longer for wacom tablets
First of all, did you got this while running Dpup Stretch 7.5 with kernel 4.9.101?don570 wrote:...I tried modifying my xorg.conf file and all I got was a frozen screen.

Thx!
Of course! No problem!radky wrote:Unfortunately, I do not have a PC with nvidia graphics for testing.
I tried experimentally (with no high hopes) to add apt and Synaptic to this Pup and as I expected, I failed miserablyradky wrote:Other package managers such as Synaptic are not supported in this iteration of Dpup Stretch.
Thx for your effort, Billtoo! Mine is a VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] (rev a2) and driver version is the latest: 304.137Billtoo wrote:I installed [...] on Dpup Stretch 7.5 Linux 4.9.101-stretch, i686 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 430] (rev a1), [...] the proprietary Nvidia driver first, then updated PPM and installed kodi.
PPM worked okay.
Sc0ttman... you hit the nail in the head! It works flawlessly! And it has a perfect integration with PPM! It's my dream come true, finally!sc0ttman wrote:This *might* help...

It's a command line package manager (like apt-get) but has various GUIs and frontends (like Synaptic).. but worse than those..
