Bug 121671 – Genuis wizardpen driver (new ebuild)

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Milos Popovic 2006-02-05 08:33:56 UTC]

Can this ebuild become part of portage (x11-drivers/wizardpen-driver/wizardpen-driver-0.5.0.ebuild). It is Genius Wizardpen tablet driver. I have written an ebuild, but probably some fixes needed.

Please, don't paste ebuilds inline, that's what attachments are for...

This is my final ebuild. I am not sure about Evdev and USB HID support detection, I just know it works, but do not know if it is written in shortest way. 

There are also one patch to allow Tablet unpluging (withought X crashes) and udev rules (not quite finished rules!!!).

The ebuild works fine, instructions are pretty clear, thank's a lot.

[Comment 6 Milos Popovic 2006-04-23 14:00:59 UTC]

I forget to say, if anybody have more udev rules for some touchpad that work with this driver, please let me know...

[Comment 7 Chin Yee 2006-11-14 06:08:40 UTC]

I just want to add that to use the tablet with Krita, in xorg.conf, the tablet's identifier must be set to "stylus"; otherwise, Krita will not recognise the tablet's pressure sensitivity.

Section "InputDevice"

	Identifier	"stylus"
	Option		"Device"	"/dev/wizardpen"
	Driver		"wizardpen"
......
	Option		"SendCoreEvents"

EndSection

I have created an updated ebuild for version 0.7.1 (which is 0.7-alpha2 with xorg-1.7 compatibility patches). It can be found in my overlay at http://gentoo.pteordactylus.net/layman.xml.

HAL policy file for the wizardpen driver.

The ebuild and the .fdi file are all that is required for version 0.7.1.

[Comment 12 David 'Bombe' Roden 2009-11-14 19:23:08 UTC]

Also, the fixed URL for my overlay would be http://gentoo.pterodactylus.net/layman.xml (now with even more fixed typos).

updated ebuild

I've taken it from a gentoo overlay and added uclogic support, works without any problems on kde4.6.4 and xp within vmware

upstream looks dead, not sure any maintainer will be willing to commit to this package. reopen when you track upstream developer(s)
