I edited xorg.conf either in Upup 5.4.x.7 and Upup Kernel 3.7.2.

Same configuration, no load of xf86 driver, I follow you suggestion.

But at the first (5.4.x.7) I inserted new driver and works OK.

The second (3.7.2) has original driver and NOT works.

Fabio,
on 3.7.2 session, would you mind again posting what following command line returns:
Code:
# lsmod | grep wacom

if it returns "wacom"
then also
Code:
# xsetwacom --list

charlie6,

Those are my actions (step by step):

--------In Upup 3.7.2:--------------

I Modify Xorg.conf according with your suggest to add wacom sections (pen, stylus, touch, cursor, pad)

Restart X server.

I open a rxvt terminal and type:

#depmod

Cursor system waits 2-3 seconds and returns (flashing cursor).

#modprobe wacom

Cursor system returns immediatly

#xsetwacom --list

Cursor system return immediatly without message and no function of pen or touchscreen

-----------In Upup 54x7:---------------

I Modify Xorg.conf according with your suggest to add wacom sections (pen, stylus, touch, cursor, pad)

At first configuration I copy new driver wacom.ko in directory /lib/modules/3.2.29/kernel/input/tablet/

Restart X server (best to reboot).

Next I open a rxvt terminal and type:

#depmod

Cursor system waits 2-3 seconds and return flashing cursor.

#modprobe wacom

Cursor system returns immediatly

#xsetwacom --list

System returns immediatly with message:

stylus id: 9 type: STYLUS
eraser id: 10 type: ERASER
cursor id: 11 type: CURSOR
pad id: 12 type: PAD
touch id: 13 type: TOUCH

Difference from two systems is that in 5,4,X.7 I use new driver wacom.

Cheers,

Fabio

1. here, if there were a problem with wacom.ko, you would have a error message returned.

2. Does «#lsmod | grep wacom» return «wacom»?

3.
Quote:
#xsetwacom --list
Cursor system return immediatly without message and no function of pen or touchscreen

here, as wacom_drv.so is present, you would have the list of devices returned. If not, the wacom tablet can't be used.

4.Also the syntax of xorg.conf must be correct. Would you mind post a copy of your xorg.conf (rename it xorg.conf.tar.gz and attach it to your post)

5. question: did you restart X after edition of xorg.conf? X needs to be restarted to activate the new xorg.conf.

I've already read that thread, I had found driver wacom and xf86 driver up.to date but wacom won't compiles in Upup 3.7.2. (Makefile bug? Upup bug?)

For now I use pen with Upup 5.4.x.7 and feel good, cannot use fingers because they make disaster in my desktop Crying or Very sad

Thanks for all

Fabio

looking inside input-wacom-0.16.0.tar.bz2:
the directory named 3.7 has only one file called Makefile; there is not any wacom.h nor other C code file; whereas other 2.6.X directories are populated with such files ...
So not surprising that you got errors while compiling for ... there was nothing to compile in 3.7 directory ... !
hope this helps

HIP-HIP-HURRA'!!!

I've found a solution.

I've copied in directory 3.7 files come from directory 2.6.38.

But compilation aborted again.

I've looked at compilation messages and after a few attempts I've correct bug (n Kernel 3.7 syntax of some statements is slightly different).

So I repackaged files and upload packet to the forum to give you ability to test this.

To compile this is only necessary give command:

# ./configure

And compilation starts after reconfiguration.

Compilation gives only a warning.

Copy wacom.ko (or wacom_w8001.ko if you have a serial device) in the proper directory, modify xorg.conf. , give depmod, modprobe wacom, restart X system, reboot system and pen finally works!!!

Fingertouch sucks for now but so finally I am happy and can test whole capabilities of new kernel.

Give a try and tell me somewhat.

Relating to the above post. Compiles ok. If this one is better version and it works with others as well, I will update my 3.7.2 kernel pet with this input wacom version.

Hi again,

... (i do not know how to check the current version id .?)

i got it ... Very Happy
1. this only for dPup-Exprimo-3.6.2 , uPup-54X7 (and earlier), uPup-3.7.2 (...and maybe other recent distros i am not yet aware of ...).
2. /etc/X11/xorg.conf MUST be edited by adding the wacom options (very classic --> see above in this thread); and aftrwds restart X;
3. read through /var/log/Xorg.0.log ---> look for
Quote:
...
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wacom_drv.so
(II) Module wacom: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 0.17.0
...

the third line gives the X wacom driver version (here = 0.17.0)
4. currently:
dPup-Exprimo-3.6.2 has X wacom driver 0.10.5 in it;
uPup-3.7.2 has X wacom driver 0.14.0 in it;
latest X wacom driver is 0.19.0 as today;
(forget 0.18.0 which was buggy ... told linuxwacomproject repo).
hope this helps

Charlie6,

I've created a multidriver .PET for Upup 3.2.29 and Upup 3.7.2 but I can't upload it in the forum: (they are 2 files of 3585 Kbytes). What can I do to upload it in forum? Link "Allowed Extensions and Sizes" tell 0 bytes.....
