Hi,
@don570
@argolance
bonjour !

To compile the xf86-input-wacom driver, I just only used don570's tuto (see page 14 this thread as don570 do in his above post), no more, no less ! Again, thanks don570 for it !

So, as told in the old linux-wacom-project website from kernel later than 2.6.35, and X server from version 1.7, only the xf86-input-wacom driver needs to be compiled.

This is more simpler than compiling the kernel driver (need to install the kernel source, and maybe headers, and better to have a full install ...).

To comment don570's tutorial, the 3rd step «make install DESTDIR=/root/name_of_the_pet» is needed to get populated the /root/name_of_the_pet directory.
I tried the «new2dir make install» instead ... and got nothing to make a pet !

Now I just went to install latest dpup-exprimo-3.2.14 using an existing squeeze-save-3.2.x.11 (kernel 3.2.11) whom I had installed on the xf86-input-wacom-k3.2.11. Surprisingly, I also got the wacom tablet working (pressure sensitivity) despite the kernel upgrade !

Hope this helps
Charlie
ps: I now need to do some cleaning work on my PCs hdds. No more room indeed to install new isos, and do some compiling work.

saluki has the drivers. You just need to figure out how to configure them

[Argolance]

hello,
Thank you for replying! I just discover your posts but tried to solve the problem by myself in between...

I couldn't get Saluki to compile a wacom driver.

It doesn't surprise me since I don't have much experience compiling.

Hi,
here is
xf86-input_k3.2.14-dpup-0.14.0.pet for dpup-Exprimo 5X3.2.14
(same structure as the one in pemasu's exprimo pets dpup-exprimo repo; also the pinstall.sh typo wakom has been fixed )

Enjoy !
Charlie

Hello,
Did someone succeed in making the usb graphire3 wacom tablet (or any other?) run under Puppy Racy 5.3?
Tried all what I could... But probably forgot something?

[don570]

I am Bamboo user.

For what it's worth I use a different xorg.conf than yours....

For instance my server layout is

Bonjour Argolance,
Hi don570,
hope you all are doing at best !
Here is the latest driver wacom compiled for kernel 3.0.25 ( compiled on racy5.3 according to don570 tutorial see page 14 this thread ) and the corresponding xorg.conf that works here;

(note:
- from kernel 2.6.35 and later the "SendCoreEvents" after InputDevice is no longer required
- kernels serie 3.X come with wacom.ko kernel driver already compiled; so only the xf86-input-driver still needs being compiled and installed)

- working xorgconf:

YYYYYEEEESSSS!
(... No comment!)
@charlie6 & @don570
Thank you so much to both of you. This was indeed the only thing that prevented me from passing completely from the version 4.31 to the version 5.3 of Puppy... Done!
Had finally nothing to change inside my Xorg.conf file: just install the pet package and restart X!

Hello,
I see that the wacom module is loaded twice: The line
Load "wacom"
inside the "Section "Module" seems to be useless.

I found something else in my xerrs.log, which doesn't prevent my tablet from working properly:

[charlie6]

Hi,
here is the latest xf86-input-wacom version 0.15.0 driver for kernel 3.4.2, compiled on dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.2.
Tested OK on mtpaint 3.44.03 - pressure sensitivity works OK - wacom tablet bamboo MTE-450 (works for all type; here works also with Volito1).
Install; then edit xorg.conf: add the wacom options present in /etc/X11/wacom_xorgdotconf_bits.txt; then restart X;
to check if the tablet devices are recognized:

[don570]

To Charlie : I can confirm that the driver works on the most
recent pemasu exprimo distribution
http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/DpupSqueeze5X/DpupExprimo5X3421/

It doesn't work in Precise but that didn't surprise me.
