instructions for installing wacom driver in Lucid Puppy

#202 Post by don570 »

Now that a new version of Lucid Puppy is just about ready to
arrive on our doorstep, I thought it time to properly document
installing the wacom driver on Lucid Puppy.


Step 1 - You must create a 'Pupsave' file first,
which is easily done by just rebooting. The size
doesn't matter, however a large pupsave file
such as 500mb will avoid problems latter with
installing large pet packages such as Audacity.
The rule is you need your free space to be about 3 times
the size of the pet package to successfully install the
pet package.

Step 2 (optional) - While you're doing step 1, you should install
Gimp (the paint package ) as well.
I suggest going to
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=61584
and downloading gimp-2.6.11-squeeze-2.sfs . Use the menu
System > 'Bootmanager configure bootup' to set up the SFS file
to load while booting.

Tip: Avoid version 2.7 of Gimp since
brush features aren't completed.
Note: Your computer will need a reboot to load the SFS file.

Step 3 - Create a new xorg.conf file since the one supplied
by Lucid Puppy is worthless . There are several ways to do this.
I cheat and use a spare good xorg.conf file that I have stored on a Flash stick.
However since anyone reading this is inexperienced, I'll give the
method of generating a new xorg.conf file.

Method:
Delete your current xorg.conf file (the path is /etc/X11/xorg.conf )
and then reboot. The operating system will check while booting up
and run xorgwizard when it finds that no file exists.
This creates a new compatible xorg.conf file.
You must now modify this new xorg.conf file with a text editor.
The general instructions from Wacom are located here and here.
For a PC tablet computer I believe a different driver is used and the
instructions are slight modified from this post.
I use a wacom Bamboo tablet and here is the modification I use.
There are other examples on this thread.

Here's my 'Server Layout' for a Bamboo tablet

Code: Select all

Section "ServerLayout"
    # For non-LCD tablets only
    # Only a few TabletPCs support this type
   # For Intuos3/CintiqV5/Graphire4/Bamboo tablets
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "touch" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "pad"
EndSection
and then after the definitions of mouse and keyboard
I inserted

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "stylus"
    Driver         "wacom"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"    # USB ONLY
    Option         "Type" "stylus"
    Option         "USB" "on"                  # USB ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "eraser"
    Driver         "wacom"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"    # USB ONLY
    Option         "Type" "eraser"
    Option         "USB" "on"                  # USB ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "cursor"
    Driver         "wacom"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"    # USB ONLY
    Option         "Type" "cursor"
    Option         "USB" "on"                  # USB ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "pad"
    Driver         "wacom"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"    # USB ONLY
    Option         "Type" "pad"
    Option         "USB" "on"                  # USB ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "touch"
    Driver         "wacom"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"    # USB ONLY
    Option         "Type" "touch"
    Option         "USB" "on"                  # USB ONLY
EndSection
Step 4 - As well as step 3 there is a further step to do
at the same time, namely install the wacom driver.
Download
wacom-0.8.5-10-k2.6.30.5.pet
Lucid puppy requires a recent driver for it's kernel.
Install the pet package and then in the terminal type

Code: Select all

depmod
modprobe wacom
Then restart X server

Step 5 - To make the driver load each time you reboot
the method that I am now using is the following:

Select from the menu
System > Bootmanager configure bootup
Select 'Click here to add a new module'

You will have a couple of minutes to wait for a list to form.
Move the wacom driver to the right hand side.(see picture)
Note: For a tablet PC I believe a different wacom driver is used,
but I'm not sure since I own regular desktop PC.

Image

Step 6 - Now if you are watching carefully whenever you boot your computer you will spot a line
quickly flash on your screen saying that the wacom driver is loading.
The Gimp paint program should be installed now. It needs it's 'input devices' set for
pressure sensitivity which is easily done from the gimp preference menu.
Set the various wacom tools from 'Disabled' to 'Screen'

mtPaint is harder to set for pressure sensitivity. Go to preferences.
There are check boxes to set, but as well the stylus needs to be set for 'Screen'.
Tip : mtPaint mustn't be set for the other tools such as 'Eraser' in Lucid Puppy.
Leave them disabled.
This is a known bug.

Now have fun drawing!!!

_________________________________________________

Note there is two wacom drivers that can be installed 'wacom' and 'wacom_w8001'. I installed the wacom driver. I assume the other driver
is for tablets PC's but I don't know that for sure.
Here's what the internet says
http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/TOUCH ... W8001.html

tablet PC - Toshiba Portege 3505

#203 Post by Ruff »

First time poster here. I want to thank everyone for taking the time to provide this great distro. I haven't had this much fun playing with a computer since I got my first 8088 running MS-DOS 3.31 back in 19... never mind.:)

Anyway, I'm running a Portege 3505 (Toshiba). Puppy is the first flavor of Linux that I ever got to play nice with my little table PC. Morever, by following this thread and some determined tinkering, I finally got the doggone tablet working. I was stunned. I just wanted to clarify a couple of points that tripped me up at first, in case anyone else has one of these antiques.

First of all, make sure you have the correct version of the xOrg wacom driver. Wary Puppy uses the 7.3 version of X, so you need to use the older xOrg driver. Using the latest xOrg driver will screw you up. If you are running Lupu, then you need the later .8 version of the xOrg driver.

Make sure you use the Wacom kernel driver that was specfically compiled for that particular kernel. Most of you know this already. But just in case somebody is doing what i did and forlornly running a blind search in the desperte hope fo finding something, anything, that might help - there are a slop bucket full of different versions out there. Find otu what kernel you have by opening a console and typing "uname -r" without the quotes. That will tell you the kernel version. Use the wacom driver specific for that version.

When editing the /etc/X11 xconf file remember that a portege only has two input methods. It has a stylus and it has an eraser. That's it. The sample xconf file entries that are shown on this thread are designed for a seperate, stand-alone tablet that also has a tabletmouse, or puck, that comes with it. The portege doesn't have a puck. When you edit your xconf file, do NOT include the lines for anything but the stylus or the eraser or you will not be able to get anything going. i beat my head against a wall for two days before I finally took a closer look and realized that the thing was looking for the little input device that wasn't there. Once I removed the redundant lines from the xconf file, everything took off and worked perfectly.

Just wanted to give back this miniscule bit. Thanks again.

I've been trying for days to get my Wacom tablet to work with Puppy 502 Lucid. I've had it working on earlier machines (with nVidia graphics) before, but my new computer has an ATI graphics chipset on the motherboard and the kernel doesn't seem to need the xorg.conf file. If I add the "InputDevice" info it simply ignores it. It doesn't have the"ServerLayout" section at all, and if I add it then Puppy refuses to boot unless I run xorgwizard to make a new xorg.conf file... which once again lacks the "ServerLayout" section. The xorg.conf file completely lacks any info about the graphics chipset (which, incidentally, is an ATI 760G Radeon HD 3000... whatever that is... there isn't any reference to it anywhere on the ATI site).

Does anybody have any idea what to do about this?

Did you try step 3 in my post of a couple of days ago
i.e. deleting the file and rebooting?

If that doesn't work then I'm stumped. It has always been a sure-fire
method of creating a compatible Server Layout section.

Another method that I have used successfully is to boot up another version
of Puppy Linux(such as Wary) and copy the entire xorg.conf file from it.

Use that copy to be your new xorg.conf file. Modify that new file.


____________________________________________________

When I was running Ubuntu Linux a couple of years ago,
I would move the xorg.conf file from one version to the next
without any problems .... but they've made some changes to
xorg.conf with recent versions.

I haven't actually tried deleting the xorg.conf file, though the fact that makes a new one without the server stuff makes me doubt that it will work. I'll try it.

I have tried using the xorg.conf from a different version of Puppy. It didn't help. When I looked at it I saw why: it lacked the server stuff too.

I think it has to do with the recent kernel changes that automate video driver stuff. I read a piece a little while ago in which someone was lamenting this change because it took the human out of the loop. Sure it would work really well... when it did work. But when it didn't there was no way to fix it. I think I've fallen victim to the latter situation.

I think my only recourse may be to save my pennies so I can buy an nVidia card.

You might give it a try with either Wary Puppy, or perhaps Lupq. Both of them are full featured and carry most, if not all, of the same apps that Lupu does. Wary uses an older kernel because it's designed for older hardware. I know it also uses xOrg 7.3 as well. A frugal install alongside your current install wouldn't take up much space, and it could easily be deleted afterward if you didn't like it.

Hi shinobar,
thanks a lot !
it works nice especially with wacom bamboo MTE-450 (0.8.8.10 and earlier versions did not on this specific model )
shinobar wrote:Compiled linuxwacom-0.8.8-11 on the quickset wary-503j.

I have installed it on wary-5XXq (don't know which XX...) and tested with a wacom bamboo MTE-450 (stylus + so called 'TouchRing' which may enable page scrolling by moving hand's finger tip in a 'Ring' in front of the pad - provided having made a command line setup as

Code: Select all

#xsetwacom set pad AbsWUp "key core KPgUp"
#xsetwacom set pad AbsWDn "key core KPgDn"
together with NumLock disabled (so is it supposed to work according to PM exchanges with Ping Cheng - wacom project developper )

I appreciate also that all wacom tools are present in such pets (xsetwacom, xidump, ...) which are usefull to test the functionnality of the tablet, cursor, and stylus.

Thanks also for the compiling tip.

Wishes...
As there are updates of various wacom drivers (depending on kernel and X server versions) it would be nice to get corresponding pets available - that's easy to ask ...! -
I already tried to compile wacom drivers here but with variable success - i.e. not reliable - as I do not really understand what I do when compiling. Moreover, these require to load the kernel source and «compile the modules against the kernel» - till now a bit to hard for me ...

Cheers, Charlie

compile and make a pet package for Fluppy

#209 Post by don570 »

I have been successful in making a driver package for Fluppy 013.
Edit: Apparently success depends on whether the wacom driver that
you have in pre-installed in your distro works or not.
For instance with Slacko this method didn't work. A new wacom.ko
driver was needed. Charlie6 compiled it.

Here are the instructions. I assume that you have set up Fluppy 013
for compiling.

Step 1 Check the version of Xorg Server that you are running.
It must be 1.7 or greater. Fluppy has a suitable version.
Type in terminal..

Code: Select all

Xorg  -version
(Note the capital X)

Step 2 Download and extract xf86-input-wacom-0.10.9.tar.bz2
available HERE


Step 3 Make an empty folder /root/xf86-wacom-fluppy-0.10.9

(Assuming that you have enough space in /root)


Step 4 Compile with the standard options.
No special options are needed!!

Code: Select all

./configure 
make
make install  DESTDIR=/root/xf86-wacom-fluppy-0.10.9

Step 5 There are still some files to put in
/root/xf86-wacom-fluppy-0.10.9 before proceeding to
make a pet package.

Make a post install script (named pinstall.sh)
to make the installation go easier.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
Xdialog  --title "Installation of Wacom driver" --msgbox "You must restart  X Windows to finish the installation of the driver" 560x100 &
lsmod | grep -qw wacom && rmmod wakom
depmod -a
sync
modprobe wacom
killall -q -HUP udevd
# register wacom on the MODULESCONFIG
if [ -s /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG ]; then
  eval $(grep '^[[:blank:]]*ADDLIST=' /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG)
  if ! echo $ADDLIST| grep -qw 'wacom'; then
    ADDLIST="$ADDLIST wacom "
    grep -v '^[[:blank:]]*ADDLIST=' /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG > /tmp/MODULESCONFIG
    mv -f /tmp/MODULESCONFIG /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG
    echo "ADDLIST='${ADDLIST}'" >> /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG
  fi
fi

Thanks to Shinobar for this script

Step 5
make a file
/etc/udev/rules.d/65-wacom.rules for the folder

Code: Select all

# udev rule for wacom tablets.

KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", SYMLINK+="input/wacom"


Here is how the folder looks with all the files inside it.

Image



Step 6 Make the pet package with the command

Code: Select all

dir2pet  xf86-wacom-fluppy-0.10.9


The package that I made can be downloaded here
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-1ebf0163.html



Note that this driver will only work with Fluppy 013 !!!

Thanks to the post install script the driver remains
persistent after a reboot.

As well it is not necessary to type in the terminal

Code: Select all

depmod
modprobe wacom
since this is part of the post install script.

...and don't forget to make alteration to xorg.conf file
before installing the driver.

Edit: more recent versions of the driver source code
give a terminal error when I try to compile them.

Edit: Works in Snow Puppy as well. I tested it.
Edit: Works in Lighthouse 503G as well. I tested it.

thanks for that tuto !

is it just load in the bootmanager devx_xxx.sfs or are there other dependencies, or kernel or headers ... to install?

Is that tuto applicable even for the linuxwacom drivers?

Till now I have been UNsuccesfull at compiling wacom drivers (got errors in the make process...)

ps: there are new version of the drivers and I had like to compile them for lupu and wary as well .... ;-)

thanks for any answer

Sorry . I don't follow this post closely, Charlie.

I edited my post at the bottom to say that the recent
versions of xf86-input-wacom don't
work so it's important to get a stable
version.

There are lots of versions available at this website
but I used a stable version
xf86-input-wacom-0.10.9.tar.bz2
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxwa ... put-wacom/

I wonder if the driver is really being compiled???
It seems to use the driver that Puppies
have already installed by default.


By the way you just need devx_xxx.sfs
to do the compiling

I'll check the latest version xf86-input-wacom-0.11.1.tar.bz2

When I tried to compile version 11.1 on Fluppy,
I got this warning. I'm not sure what's going on???
I'll stick with my previous version.

Code: Select all

Hi don570,
many thanks again for your compiling tutorial !
I got a try on it on slacky 311.37 and got it compiled. Works on later Slackos.
name: xf86-input-wacom-SPup311-0.11.1.pet

Code: Select all

# uname -a
Linux puppypc 2.6.37.6 #1 SMP Sun Jul 10 08:27:28 EST 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
#
And made a pet ...
... download here:
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-bc55bec0.html

Also present in this pet:
- /etc/udev/rules.d/README explaining the choice between two udev ules, the default one used as on the former wacom pets; and the one proposed on the linuxwacom project website (both seem to even work)
- /etc/X11/wacom_xorgdotconf_bits.txt giving the to-be-copied-bits into xorg.conf to get the tablet working

Do not forget to Install the already present kernel wacom.ko driver using the bootmanager and the driver install method (see step-5 don570's «instructions for installing wacom driver in Lucid Puppy» on page 14, as also Pizzasgood's earlier posts).

works nice with mtpaint!
have fun !
Cheers, Charlie

This thread sounds alive, so let me pose a question ... anybody around here got hot-pluggin USB wacom to work? The current situation seems to be, you need to plug the wacom before you start X server (or, if X server is already started, you need to re-start it) ...

This isn't a trick question, I'm looking for an answer myself and if I find it first, I will share with the rest of you.

cheers!

Enable wacom tablet hotpluggin in five easy steps:
1. Your Xorg must be 1.8.0 or higher (how to check: run Xorg -version from terminal). Mine is version 1.9.5.
2. You must have recent xkeyboard config that supports evdev (here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Softwar ... oardConfig). Mine is version 2.1
3. You must have recent udev (need input_id and 60-persistent-input.rules). Mine is udev 166
4. You must 50-wacom.conf in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d (if you don't have it, get it from linuxwacom site here: http://linuxwacom.git.sourceforge.net/g ... 88;hb=HEAD
5. Now for the kicker - your Xorg must be compiled with this option turned on: "--enable-config-udev" (how to check: grep "config/udev" /usr/X11R7/bin/Xorg - if it says binary file matches, your Xorg is good).

When this is done - just make sure you don't have

Code: Select all

Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
anywhere inside your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

I'm joking about the "easy" part. It's not :shock:

firstly, thanks for this very helpful thread, it has helped on many occasions.
so.. i thought i'd report 'out of box' function in fatdog 521(64 bit) for my wacom bamboo cte-450 :D .......nearly...just no x-input enabled thus no pressure sensitivity in gimp etc :cry: ...but this was easily fixed with the ' gtk+-2.18.6-with-xinput-amd64' package in PPM :D i expect this will be included ie gtk will be compiled with xinput--enable, in the future.

No Joy Slacko Toshiba Tecra M7 Wacom

#219 Post by Joe Jasniewski »

Hi, I've been using Lucid Puppy Quickset with much joy on this Wacom touch screen enabled laptop. Wacom-0.10.8_xorg_driver and my partial xorg.conf follows below.

In my Slacko edition, I've tried this same xorg.conf with a few of the pets listed in this thread, nothing I do seems to bring joy in response to the pen.

Would really like to use Slacko (Looks Awesome!) but my tablet functionality is a deal breaker for me. Has anyone got a Wacom pen-tablet setup using the latest Slacko Puppy?

FWIW, I'm at the .pet level for installation. Please remember your artist friends who sketch on-screen! Any assistance in getting the below xorg configuration running on Slacko would be appreciated!

Thanks and best regards,

Joe

Uh, anyone interested in helping me out? Kinda quiet in here

Struggled for another hour with this, getting nowhere.

I understand the Wacom driver is now in the Linux kernel, whereas in my quickset version it was a driver? Did they leave out us folks with old Tablet computers whose Wacom devices are actually serial?

If the latest Wacom code, wherever it resides, specifically doesnt support serial based input devices - and everyone knows this but me - please let me know so I can surrender.

As I said I'd like to use Slacko but my Wacom input, which makes this machine a tablet, is what makes this computer fun to use. I'm using Slacko now to write this. Thanks!

Joe
