It seems this is till not fixed in edgy, which is a real shame for something that seems a really small change. -- /etc/X11/xorg.conf should point to /dev/input/wacom instead of /dev/wacom and xserver-xorg-input-wacom should depend on wacom-tools (AKA Wacom support almost there... add some udev magic?) https://launchpad.net/bugs/40473 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

No update to this bug has been made since May. Could anybody confirm if the problem (a trivial matter of pointing to the right location) has at least been corrected in Edgy?

I've created an attempt at a simple guide to set up Wacom tablets in Dapper https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wacom It can be usefull because it summarize this bug in an easy way, as well as the steps to fix it, including screen captures in Technicolor. A quick symlink to test it confirms that all that's needed is for these two to meet. However, the symlink doesn't resist a reboot.

Tested with differents installs. In fact, the hardest was to understand first bug description (I'm not so bright :) ) ** Summary changed: - Wacom support almost there... add some udev magic? + /etc/X11/xorg.conf should point to /dev/input/wacom instead of /dev/wacom and xserver-xorg-input-wacom should depend on wacom-tools (AKA Wacom support almost there... add some udev magic?) ** Description changed: - Just tried a fresh install with the beta live CD, and one thing I noted - was that it put entries for a wacom board into xorg.conf, and not only - that, they work! + UPDATE (To clarify the situation) : + First bug + At the moment on Dapper (Dapper 05/23 Daily Build), /etc/X11/xorg.conf points wacom devices to /dev/wacom, which is not the right location. It should instead point to /dev/input/wacom, automatically created after install of wacom-tools. + + Second bug : + xserver-xorg-input-wacom doesn't depend on wacom-tools, whereas users need wacom-tools installed to get an almost working configuration. + Reason : wacom-tools provide udev scripts that creates a working symlink in /dev/input/wacom + + Solving these two really small bugs would make Dapper ready for wacom + tablets (at least the USB ones) without even any user intervention - a + great feature for this release. + + PREVIOUS BUG DESCRIPTION ： + Just tried a fresh install with the beta live CD, and one thing I noted was that it put entries for a wacom board into xorg.conf, and not only that, they work! Well, not immideatly. They point at the device /dev/wacom, which doesn't exist and have no way of existing. However, the package wacom-tools provide udev scripts which make wacom tablets appear in /dev/input/wacom. A quick symlink to test it confirms that all that's needed is for these two to meet. Actually, those udev scripts should be made standard instead if xorg is actively looking for boards. I wasn't sure where I was gonna file this, as it could be an installer issue, wacom-tools, udev or xorg, but since the entries are in xorg.conf, I thought I'd start here. Please reassign or help me split the bug if it's needed. Out of the box plug-and-play wacom support would impress a lot of graphics guys I know to no end - some of them still think it's amazing I don't need the included CD to use a digital camera. ;-) (Side note: would it be possible to auto-configure extended devices too? That's a stumper for pressure sensitivity for many). ** Changed in: wacom-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed ** Also affects: xserver-xorg-input-wacom (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-wacom (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed -- /etc/X11/xorg.conf should point to /dev/input/wacom instead of /dev/wacom and xserver-xorg-input-wacom should depend on wacom-tools (AKA Wacom support almost there... add some udev magic?) https://launchpad.net/bugs/40473 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

If we really want to be righteous, there was two separate bug reports from the start. But the bug fixes are trivial enough - and it would be easy to open another bug report in case somebody consider the fixes required would need it. -- /etc/X11/xorg.conf should point to /dev/input/wacom instead of /dev/wacom and xserver-xorg-input-wacom should depend on wacom-tools (AKA Wacom support almost there... add some udev magic?) https://launchpad.net/bugs/40473 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Kristoffer, you should open new bug reports against each application (mainly Gimp and Inkscape), unless there's a system wide setting (I don't really think so) or a Gnome-wide setting (seems not likely either). -- /etc/X11/xorg.conf should point to /dev/input/wacom instead of /dev/wacom and xserver-xorg-input-wacom should depend on wacom-tools (AKA Wacom support almost there... add some udev magic?) https://launchpad.net/bugs/40473 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
