How to set up a Wacom Tablet
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.

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
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!

This is how kubuntu did it https://wiki.kubuntu.org/X/InputConfiguration. I haven't gotten it to work yet.

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 haveanywhere inside your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
I'm joking about the "easy" part. It's not

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 .......nearly...just no x-input enabled thus no pressure sensitivity in gimp etc ...but this was easily fixed with the ' gtk+-2.18.6-with-xinput-amd64' package in PPM i expect this will be included ie gtk will be compiled with xinput--enable, in the future.

No Joy Slacko Toshiba Tecra M7 Wacom
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!

Hi Joe
I am not much help as I have never experienced a wacom device. However I do have some suggestions.
IN Puppy Package Manager make sure you configure it with the Slackware repo.
In the search box type *wacom. The only hit you will get is xf86-input-wacom-0.10.11. Install it.
there are 3 kernel modules that are wacom related. hid.wacom.ko, wacom.ko and wacom_w8001.ko(k2.6.37.6).
In your lupu install run in a terminal
You will then see which wacom modules are loaded and what depends on what.
Do a comparison in Slacko.
Any thing lacking then modprobe (in a terminal) each module and dependency missing.
Example:(leave off the .ko.)
See what happens.
Your favourite search engine may reveal more if you search for issues with Slackware and wacom devices.
Good luck!

Fast download here:

There are two possible wacom packages to use.
The best is probably Charlie's (since it will support serial and USB tablets)
but I put together one as well.
Installation is easy:
1) Just modify xorg.conf (with help from this thread)
2) install pet
3) restart X windows

I'm trying to get the wacom digitizer on my tc1100 to work, but I'm not having much success. I started a new thread about it here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 483#596483
I've tried following your tutorial, but I can't even get puppy to see the stylus let alone get it to function. Anyone got any ideas?

I was able to get Akita puppy to work with my Bamboo tablet.
Also the beta6 of Akita.
Just follow the instructions on the first page of this thread
because Akita uses an old kernel.
I reported here.

There was some success in installing in a tablet computer

wacom_w8001 rather than the wacom driver. Both drivers
are inside the pet package that is available for Lucid Puppy.

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:
