Uhm... since when?

The last time I tried it, X wouldn't start.  What wacom device do you have?  Which versions of kernel an X do you have?

[Comment 2 Jason McGuiness 2005-02-05 04:28:05 UTC]

Hi,

Device: an old Wacom ArtPad II, using a serial port, Xorg lists it as a "KT-0405-R00 v1.3-2".
Kernel: output of "uname -a": "Linux eddie 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 #8 SMP Sun Jan 30 23:27:17 GMT 2005 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 250 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux"
Xorg: output of "emerge --search xorg*": 6.8.0-r3

Evidence:
1. I have got my old Wacom ArtPad II working in Gimp-2.0.4, both eraser (with pressure) & cursor. Perhaps this had nothing to do with linuxwacom, but I followed the advice on "http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/gimp", and that seemed to make it work.
2. The pen works in X itself, both the tip, eraser and single button.

Anomalies:
1. I haven't seen the control panel it is supposed to have, which could be handy to have.

See also attached output of "Xorg.0.log".

Cheers,

Jason.

Created attachment 50431 [details]
Output of my Xorg log file.

Bzip'ped to make it a shorter download, 50k->9k. Hope that's not too
inconvienient.

My inutos2 works great using the builtin kernel and xorg-x11 drivers, but if I try the linuxwacom ones, it crashes X.

In the future, pleasse just attatch the logs as text... it makes it alot easier on us.

[Comment 5 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-04-19 10:54:07 UTC]

0.6.7 has been keyworded.

[Comment 6 Hal Engel 2005-05-09 18:07:10 UTC]

When I emerge linuxwacom-0.6.7 on my amd64 system x becomes unstable and refuses to start most of the time.  When I remove wacom support from the kernel it becomes stable again - of course the tablet no longer works at that point.  

Also when I can get x to start I can't get the mouse to work in relative mode and the pen/eraser will not work on the full surface of either of my (dual head) screens.  So these drivers have significant problems on amd64 machines.  

I have a Graphire 2 USB tablet.

Does anyone know when we will get a version of this that works an amd64 systems?

[Comment 7 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-05-09 18:14:57 UTC]

the in-kernel drivers and the ones in xorg-x11 are sufficient for my needs, so youu can just use those if you have trouble with these ones...
