Hi, We've run into some strange problems getting the latest wacom drivers (0.7.4.2 + .3) to work on Fedora Core 4, running kernel 2.6.11 and also with 2.6.12.
We're using specific software on the system, which requires some modifications to the src/kernel.spec file for other modules required, before we recompile the kernel. Here's the process (example): $ rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4.src.rpm $ rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec $ vi /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.12-i686-smp.config Because we're using an SMP kernel, this is where we set the CONFIG_USB_HID=y parameter to CONFIG_USB_HID=m in the kernel-2.6.spec, WACOM_USB_HID=m is left as default. $ cd /usr/src $ ln -s redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.12/linux-2.6.12 linux $ cd /var/tmp ; tar -xvf linuxwacom-0.7.4-2.tar $ cd linuxwacom-0.7.4-2 $ cp src/2.6.11/wacom.c /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/input/ $ cp src/2.6.11/hid-core.c /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/input/ $ rpmbuild -bb --target=i686 /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec $ rpmbuild -bs --target=i686 /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec $ rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686/kernel-smp-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4.newkernel.i686.rpm $ rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686/kernel-smp-devel-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4.newkernel.i686.rpm $ reboot $ yum install tcl $ yum install tk $ yum install tcl-devel $ yum install tk-devel $ yum install xorg-x11-sdk $ cd /usr/tmp/linuxwacom-0.7.4-2 $ ./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.12/linux-2.6.12/ --enable-hid --enable-wacom --with-xlib=/usr/X11R6/lib/ --with-xorg-sdk=/usr/X11R6/lib/Server $ make !!! Here we get the following warning !!! " ... Building linuxwacom drivers for 2.6 kernel. ***Note: Drivers not enabled as modules in your kernel config but requested through configure are NOT built ... " Even though both CONFIG_USB_HID and WACOM_USB_HID are both set to =m modprobe seems to recognize the modules, and is able to unload them, but the make script claims they're not there! At least, as far as I understand it. Either way, the driver isn't installed, and "more /proc/bus/usb/devices" doesn't show the wacom driver loaded. But make doesn't let me get anywhere further... So why not follow the instructions in the mini-how-to on the linuxwacom website? Because following these leaves me with a new UP kernel named ...-prep, which is utterly useless for an SMP machine. Any ideas? Thanks, -jan. Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
