Mageia forum

Greetings.

I just bought a Wacom Bamboo graphics tablet, but I can't make it work in Mageia1.

Relevant Info

· I installed the following packages: wacomtablet, wacomtablet-kcmodule, wacomtablet-kded, x11-driver-input-wacom, x11-driver-input-wacom-devel

· The model is: Bamboo Pen & Touch (small)

· Result of a cat /proc/bus/usb/devices:

Code: Select all

T: Bus = 01 Lev = 01 Prnt = 01 Port = 00 Cnt = 01 Dev # = 2 Spd = 12 MxCh = 0

II followed a bunch of tutorials found on the net based in Mandriva, Ubuntu, etc... but neither works on my only and prefered distro.

Anyone can help me?

- UPDATE -


As I can't make it work and don't found any tip, I tried to uninstall all the packages containing "Wacom" and follow the instructions of "The Linux Wacom Project" from the beginning.

This is what I did::

1. Compile & install "xf86-input-wacom-0.10.9"
2. Reboot
3. modprobe wacom

Nothing works, but at least I have the following:

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep wacom
wacom                  36753  0
usbcore               167270  9 wacom,usbhid,rtl8187,uas,usb_storage,usblp,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd


Please, I need help...

Hi
I have a Wacom Bamboo CTH-661 installed. It works for me. I have the same packages installed as you + plasma-applet-wacomtablet, but that should not make any difference. Don't know why it does not work for you.
I'm running x86_64.

Could you please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Good news.
I'm glad to hear that it works for you, then mine it's a matter of time. ; - )
Strange that the same packages do not work for me.

Attached.



Thanks a lot for your help, borsa and doktor5000.

It's not recognized by the X server, so seems it's not recognized by udev or the udev rules need to be adapted to this particular tablet.
You should take a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wacom_Tablet#Dynamic_Xorg_setup_with_udev to help you how to find out the needed udev information
and modify the udev rule for your tablet.

Also for the sake of support, please use the wacom packages from the Mageia
repositories, and remove your self-compiled one via "make uninstall" in the directory where you extracted the tarball.

Searching (again) on the web, I found this:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.wacom/6062

Compiled and installed... an now my Wacom is detected and the driver loaded!!!

Now the problem:
When I use it nothings happens. The cursor don't move.

On KDE I tried the graphical config app but while detected my Tablet it says "Profile default does not exist". And don't allow me to add a new one.


What I have to do now?

It's detected by Xorg after all.
You said you've removed all the Mageia wacom* packages, have you reinstalled them now? Especially the KDE ones.

Yes, I have installed:

Code: Select all

plasma-applet-wacomtablet
wacomtablet-kcmodule
wacomtablet-kded

I have:
plasma-applet-wacomtable
wacomtablet
wacomtablet-kcmodule
wacomtablet-kded
x11-driver-input-wacom

Wohaaa!
Now works!

I confused the package "x11-driver-input-wacom" with the "xf86-input-wacom-0.10.9" I manually installed.
But once installed, all works as expected.

Thanks a lot borsa and doctor500.
Mageia rules! ; -D

You're welcome.
Glad to help when I can.

Glad it works for you.
On two systems i tried they crash using the tablet, see https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4362
