Hi. Need an updated X and kernel driver for Precise 5.7.1, kernel v3.9.11. Graphics tablet Genius G-Pen F610 (reads as a "Walcom" [sic]) tablet. Thanks.

Hello,
... Does any wacom driver pet package exist for Puppy Precise 5.7.1 (kernel v3.9.11)?
If not, what package could be used instead?
Thanks.

Cordialement.

I believe I've tried xf86-input_k.3.2.44-precise-wacom-mod-0.21.0.pet
on Precise 5.7.1 but I'm not at home now so I'm not 100% certain.

It won't hurt your installation to install the pet package package.
Nothing is removed or overwritten.

It's easy to make a pet package . Just compile the wacom source and
duplicate the structure of my pet package.

Bonsoir don570,
Thanks!

This is ok, I will try it!
... but where could I find the right wacom source files?

Cordialement.

There are actually two drivers

1) kernel
2) Xorg

The kernel driver is built into the puppy distro.
The Xorg driver has to be installed. (Although some distros have
it built-in as well such as Porteus and Ubuntu)


Google 'wacom + driver + linux'

Bonjour don570,
Thanks for info.
Done!
It works perfectly for me, running Puppy Precise 5.7.1. The pet package is too big (304 ko) to be uploaded on the forum. So, for those who are interested in, xf86-input-wacom-k3.9.11-0.24.0.pet is available from the :arrow: ToOpPy site repository.

Cordialement.

Hi don570 and all,

here are two xf86-wacom-input drivers download links, both compiled on wheezy-3.5.2.11:
the one is earlier version 0.17;
http://www.datafilehost.com/d/9719651c
this 0.17 runs OK here and ensures smooth cursor motions;

the second is the latest 0.24;
http://www.datafilehost.com/d/3a57b4fc
since version 0.18 (which has been told as "buggy"), i cannot get further versions working as nice as the 0.17 ! :cry:

Till now... keeping living with 0.17... 8)

I already reported it in earlier posts (around page22): whtever "relative" or "absolute" mode", the cursors arrow runs away to the above left screen corner once the stylus is lifted far away from the pad. I believe the cursor should stay were it has been left then, as it is the case on drivers up to 0.17.
All this using various tablets as Graphire1 , Volito1 and MTE450 (Bamboo) on desktops and laptops.

Do you get such a similar behaviour?

I reported this to wacom projects developper who could not reproduce it.

Thanks for eventual report !

Cheers,
Charlie

To Charlie .....

My Bamboo tablet has been working fine except Windows XP :roll:
where there's a bug that forces me to re-install
the driver from time to time.

There may be something wrong with my precise pet package that
I have listed. Did I leave out my script?? I'll download and check at home.

I recompiled the source in Precise 5.7.1 and here it is

http://www.datafilehost.com/d/87525f21

I'll check Argolance's package to see if it was made correctly.

To post it on this page I will drop an app from the package to
reduce it to 250 kb limit.

cursors behaviour since xf-86-input wacom 0.17.0 [SOLVED]

Hi don570 and all !
good news ... at least for me ... :lol:

I've just got this "still warm" post from wacom developper Jason Gerecke:
Objet: [linuxwacom:bugs] #229 xf86-input driver versions above 0.17.0 : no right-click + unexpected cursor behaviour

Comment:

Both of these issues seem to result from an unexpected interaction between our driver and the generic "mouse" driver. As described in [bugs:#240], if you add Option "GrabDevice" "1" to each wacom InputDevice in /etc/X11/xorg.conf then both problems seem to be prevented.
I then compiled and installed version the latest version 0.27.0;
now ..here is xorg.conf edited accordingly (input devices section):

restarted X, and the cursors mouse now moves as expected ... :shock: :) (NB: Option "Mode" "Relative" is my favourite cursors behaviour :roll: )
just try it !!
hth :)

xf86-input-wacom driver compiled for kernel 3.17.4

Posted: Wed 17 Dec 2014, 05:36
by charlie6
hi don570 and all,
compiled on Tahr-6.0CE PAE k.3.17.4
here is xf86-input-wacom driver compiled for kernel 3.17.4 (337K ...might be possible to reduce the size under 250K .. :? )
download link:
http://www.datafilehost.com/d/e3645c6a

NB: the device option #Option "GrabDevice" "1" is included as commented line in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (installed by the pinstall.sh) to the four devices:

Code: Select all

#Option "GrabDevice" "1"
just uncomment it to activate that option.

Cheers, Charlie

ps: @don570: lot of thanks for the pinstall.sh ...works nice :) !!

To get the size under 250k I leave the applications out.
xsetwacom is an app I don't use . Also /etc folder isn't needed either since rules are set set elsewhere.

______________________________________________________

I posted a new precise package on the previous page. It works well on my
Bamboo 450. I think your Bamboo 450 has a defect, otherwise more people
would have complained to wacom.

I tried putting

Code: Select all

Option "Mode" "Relative" 
into the xorg.conf file but it turned my pressure off.

New Wacom Bamboo Splash models in store don't mention compatibilty with
Windows XP however on support forum they say it is possible to
use Windows XP and certain posted driver packages.

To Charlie:

I tested your pet package in tahr 5.8.3 and it works fine!
Fortunately you commented out the lines for Absolute and Relative position.

I re-packaged the pet

1) I removed everything in /etc i.e the rules since they are in /usr

2) Removed desktop file

3) Removed man files

4) Removed all applications

5) Removed kernel drivers wacom.so

6) Changed the warning message in pinstall.sh so it launches last.
This avoids a confusing jumble of windows.

The size is now well under 250k max so I can post it on the precious page. :lol:

I modified the slacko driver so that modprobe wacom isn't needed.
and added my xorg.conf modification

I tested on Slacko 6.0, but should work as far back as 5.6

I downloaded latest wacom x driver 0.27.99 and tried to make a pet package, however I had problems. :cry:
So I took the above pet package
0.10 and put the 0.27.99 drivers in it and made a pet package and it
worked :lol:

Also I made a xsetwacom package if anybody needs it. Left in man files as well.

_______________________________________________________

Instructions :

1) install pet package, no 'modprobe wacom' is needed to recognize driver!!
2) Restart X
3) Set preferences of your favorite graphics app to pressure

wacom kernel drivers for kernels 3.17.7

Hi,
here is a pet having wacom kernel drivers (serial & usb) for kernels 3.17.7
compiled on tahr-6.0.2-PAE kernel 3.17.7
enjoy :)
Charlie
ps: need to have the xf86-input-wacom Xorg driver installed (already present in Tahr-6.0.2's iso)

xf86 Xorg driver for Tahr-6.X-PAE kernel 3.17.7

Posted: Wed 04 Mar 2015, 15:57
by charlie6
Hi,
here are as separate pets the Tahr-6.X 's Xorg drivers stuffs compiled on Tahr-6.0.2-PAE with kernel 3.17.7.

These pets are highly inspirated from don570 one's ...excepted for /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wacom_drv.so located in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/ instead (tons of thanks @ don570 for his xorg.conf configure script)

note: the kernel driver must be already present before installing these pets.

ps: the option GrabDevice=1 is default set as uncommented. Adjust manualy if needed.

Enjoy, Charlie :)

I tried xf86-wacom-Tahr-6.X_k.3.17.7-mod-0.28.0.pet
on tahr 5.8.3 which has an earlier kernel.

My cursor was very sensitive for about a minute then it steadied and is
working fine now . mtpaint shows pressure sensitivity with my
wacom bamboo tablet.

I made a package for wheezy - compiled in Pupjibaro Wheezy 1.0.6 beta
I couldn't get a recent version of wacom to vary the pressure
so I used an old version.
