HP compaq tc4200 wacom tablet pc working

[iteration69]

The wacom is working on my tc4200.

I'm running Lucid puppy, ie.
# cat /etc/issue
Lucid Puppy Linux
Linux 2.6.33.2 [i686 arch]


My setup is fairly snappy (i like things to be quick). But you can easily tweak this to your own liking.

Specifics from my xorg.conf

Code: Select all

Notes:

I noticed that sometimes the pinboard and backdrop do no load, when this happens the wacom usually will not work but sometimes it does work. I ran wacdump -f tpc /dev/ttyS0 to try to locate the problem and as soon as i did this the wacom worked again. The problem with the pinboard and backdrop are not related to the xorg.conf, i've seen this happen on a few other machines while testing Lucid puppy. I've not found the culprit yet, but i suspect it to be timing related.

I don't have gesture's working quite yet, but it is very much usable as is.

I am using puppy 5.6 and am trying to get the stylus to work. I'm new to linux and don't quite follow what you were saying.

Also, I am having problems getting connected to wifi. Any assistance/suggestions you could give would be appreciated.
