I thought that when the kernel is compiled the wacom.ko file is created?? I noticed that the launchpad site still has wacom files available. Maybe debian linux still has files available?? I can't see any. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xf86-input-wacom-lts-vivid __________________________________________________
If you knew how to change the recipe then it might work??? 'the recipe' is a text file that the compiler uses. It give paths and options. _____________________________________ |

Hi don570, http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1001065#1001065 from Dpup Stretch 7.5 RC3 post (continue)
I miss time these days to try to give an exhaustive answer. As I do not know on which Puplet you got this (kernel? 32 or 64 bits...?) in a first time you might ignore the pet I made and revert to the original state. Just try keeping the 69-wacom.rules present in the pet I made (it is in fact identical to earlier wacom.rules). I assume you are aware that wacom.rules only creates one or two wacom symlinks in /dev/input/ in order the tablet to be recognized by xorg (Inside xorg.conf, the wacom devices related codes have the code "/dev/input/wacom"). If "/dev/input/wacom" is not present while the tablet is connected, just unplug it, wait 5 seconds (the time for the event manager to react) and plug it again. The the "/dev/input/wacom" should be created. If not, the wacom.ko is the culprit. Otherwise you would have to replace that "/dev/input/wacom" by the right "/dev/input/eventX" X is a number from 1 to 9 which you can find by reading the content of /proc/bus/input/devices, in the paragraph related to the wacom tablet, at the end of the line having "H: Handlers....event8" as an example. A lot about all this has already been documented in the present thread. Also usefull to read is the https://sourceforge.net/p/linuxwacom/bugs/358/ and others about some bugs and fixes. There are some "xsetwacom" line commands described usefull to know more about the wacom tablet. HTH Charlie |

I am using the standard stretch 7.5 installed frugally. 4.9.101 kernel I was able to compile xf86-input-wacom, but I can't get xorg driver to be recognized. I will read your post and git instructions and try again. I tracked down the instructions on git https://github.com/linuxwacom/xf86-input-wacom/wiki/Configuring-X Look under Static xorg.conf Setup or Fixed device files with udev https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/wiki/Fixed-device-files-with-udev __________________________________________________ |
