Do it or don't, but please do not add an use flag for this.. Configuring the extra module in 2.6.x doesn't require an entire kernel rebuild - http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/buildwacom6 says configuation is required in the kernel anyways. yes, it may need chonge in the kernel configuration, but, if peoples are using the wacom module, they have these changes :) I dont know what happened to this bug report but nothing had changed since a loooong time with linuxwacomebuild, the same with the last version available with lot of interesting changes for wacom users. Test bug #147537 if your tabled don't work anymore.... I'm actually using the volito tablet on kernel 2.6.18... Ps: it requires you to build the kernel driver as a module and then overwrite it. But the driver provided with the ebuild is newer There are ebuilds that enable building of the kernel module attached to bug 147537. Please note that we will not support building of the external module in the tree, as it is included in the mainline kernel for quite a while now, and maintained there well. Please update your kernel before using the outside module. |
