Hi
xf86-input-wacom-0.14.0 latest driver version
here are some compiled for
Slacko-5.3.1
Dpup-Exprimo 5X14 (k 2.6.39.4)
Dpup-Exprimo 5X.3.2.11 (k 3.2.11)

Important: here I always run xorgwizrad (alt-ctrl-backspace + <Probe> ...etc..) before editing xorg.conf to get the current video card specific dirver activated ...the simplest way...isn't ?

Acknowledgments to Shinobar's included pinstall.sh and don570 compiling tutorial see page14 this thread.

Please test
Also included in the pet:
/etc/X11/wacom_xorgdotconf_bits.txt giving the specific wacom bits to add to xorg.conf; just copy and paste the corresponding xorg.conf sections.

Stylus pressure sensitive works OK: tested on mtpaint 3.44.03 !
Have fun !
Cheers
Charlie

ps:
- all those 3 drivers tested on a fresh boot-up (pfix=ram) + /etc/X11/xorg.conf file edition by addition of the wacom bits + restart X server;
- these drivers are X drivers; no confusion with the kernel driver wacom.ko which is already present in the distro;
- Exprimo: the tablet is already detected and workng «as a mouse» at boot up.
- Tested with Volito1 and Bamboo MTE-450A, both USB tablets.
- tip: to check if these driver works, you have to get this answer doing in a console:

charlie6. Some of your pets has stuff in /usr and some in /usr/local so...the latter wont overwrite-update existing stuff.

I have repackaged all 3 to the exprimo repo.

Hi Pemasu,
Thanks for your time to get them checked !

User review

I got great results with the following


I tested squeeze-5.X.3.1.10.2-SCSI.iso
with Charlie6's xf86-input-k.3.2.11-wacom-0.14.0.pet
that I got from this thread

.... and it worked beautifully!!

I didn't have the problems that I experience with Lucid Puppy.

i.e. not problems with a black screen when I make a Pupsave file
and there was no persistency problems.

Hello,
Did all what I could to make my Wacom Graphire3 working with the latest releases of Racy (5.2.2, 5.2.8, 5.2.9 and finally 5.3...): I have unfortunately to guess I didn't succeed! Has somebody any idea?

Thank you so much!

Cordialement.

Did you use barry Kauler's wacom pet package?
See page 12
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/linuxwacom-0.8.8-10-w5.pet

It worked for my wacom bamboo when I tried it months ago.

Use the instructions on the first page!!

I always use the following to get the driver recognized.

Hello,
Thank you for answering!
This is exactly what I did: I installed Barry's pet, copied/pasted indicated lines in my Xorg.conf file.
Console:

[pemasu]

undefined symbol probably means that the xorg xorg_server version has changed since wary 094 time.

-----> /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/input/wacom_drv.so

There is need to recompile the wacom xorg driver in recent wary.

Hello,

[pemasu]

I havent compiled xorg drivers much. But pm charlie6...I suppose you will get guideline how to do it and url to the source.

Any advice on how I could compile a version that will work on Saluki puppy?

Thanks
D

[don570]

Saluki uses kernel 3.2.13 ???

The method I would use is to take the driver out of the closest
package that Charlie6 has compiled

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=53592

and put it in Saluki . Then I would use my method of putting
a pet package together which is described here

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=512482#512482

I'll try to do this and report back on Saturday.
