Description Martin Walch 2010-12-06 09:27:55 UTC
I do not post the ChangeLog since 0.10.8, since it is a bit cumbersome. It is included in the source tarball.

Just renaming the ebuild seems to work fine. At least emerging works fine for me. I can currently not test if the driver is working correctly.

Ok, I've just tried out this version and it seems to have problems with absolute/relative mode for the cursor, so I'm not going to bump it yet.

I'm afraid I don't have time to investigate it at the moment, but I'll try to do a git bisection when the holidays start.

I just tried 10.10 myself and can confirm that it still has some serious issues. There are a few fixed that are already available (e.g. scrolling wheel) but aren't yet commited for some reason (not even in GIT)
Comment 5 Patrick McMunn 2011-03-08 02:35:49 UTC
I'd like to propose an additional change to the ebuild. The xf86-input-wacom package includes 50-wacom.conf which goes in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ . It contains the udev autodetection rules. Perhaps this file can automatically be installed by the ebuild. Perhaps my method isn't the most elegant, but I'll post the build from my local overlay as an example.

Later versions of xf86-input-wacom are in main tree -> fixed.
