Well, I'm going to try to get follow the Wacom instructions for installing the tablet drivers. I haven't built or installed a linux kernel or drivers so we'll see how that learning curve goes...then there are the special idiosyncracies of the XO. :-) Once the driver and kernel modules are built for the 8.2 os kernel, how would we go about distributing the drivers in a usable fashion. Following kernel compile and link instructions won't work. We need something like a signed update. Is there any way to have a signed update by a developer rather than the OLPC? Otherwise, is there a way to make the tablet driver available for an Activity? --Chris > -Wade > > On Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 8:26 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> robert -- >> >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> > Paul, >> > >> > Are you using the driver code from http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/ ? >> >> no -- i just built the driver that's in the kernel tree. >> >> paul >> >> > I had intended on trying this but have been too busy to get the time >> > set up the correct environment or follow all the steps involved for >> > the initial setup >> > http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/doc >> > >> > If you get something you think is workable let me know and I can test >> > it with one of my Wacom Intuos 2 tablets. >> > >> > Note there is also a mouse as well as a pen with this tablet so the >> > mouse code needs to be compiled as well. >> > >> > thanks for all the good work!! >> > /Robert >> > >> > On Nov 17, 2008, at 8:37 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> > >> > > building and insmod'ing wacom.ko lets the Sapphire tablet move >> > > the mouse cursor. i confess i've never used a tablet, so i don't >> > > know whether the button on the stylus doesn't behave as a mouse >> > > button is expected or not. also, the motion i get when moving >> > > the stylus on the pad is relative, not absolute. there are no >> > > module parameters, so any tuning must be via some other >> > > mechanism. i can supply the driver module to anyone who would >> > > like to try it. >> > > >> > > i'm probably not the right guy to pursue this further, but i've >> > > added a mention of tablet support to #7326, which is a tracker >> > > for requested modules. >> > > >> > > paul >> > > >> > > wade wrote: >> > >> If you guys can get a driver working and expose the API, I'll add >> > >> support to Colors!.
