Hello, according to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5555 real support for aiptek tablets may hit the stable xorg soon. Anyway, I think the following udev rules may help make the tablet work, I use it as /etc/udev/rules.d/85-tablet-drivers.rules, inclusion into the xf86-input-aiptek package might be useful: /etc/udev/rules.d/85-tablet-drivers.rules: # for Aiptek (vendor: 08ca) tablets BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="08ca",YMLINK+="input/aiptek_event", OWNER="root", MODE="0666" BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="mouse[0-9]*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="08ca", SYMLINK+="input/aiptek_mouse", OWNER="root", MODE="0666"
Created attachment 143813 [details] /etc/udev/rules.d/85-tablet-drivers.rules for aiptek tablets hmm, better as an attachment to prevent line break errors
This should probably go upstream to bugs.freedesktop.org. Please file a bug in the xorg product there and post a link here, then reopen this bug once the upstream bug has been resolved. Thanks!
Hmm, was resolved as WONTFIX upstream, see http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14554
Oops, meant to reopen it with the last comment.
OK, we should probably go with a HAL file as upstream suggests. Could you take a look at the one provided by synaptics and create one based on that?
Sorry, I have totally no idea where to find that :-/ I'm just a humble bug reporter and occasional copy&paste hacker whenever hardware is concerned...
/usr/portage/x11-drivers/synaptics/files/11-x11-synaptics.fdi
Are any HAL or udev rules still needed? Isn't there a kernel driver for aiptek devices? Cheers
