configuring wacom tablet with LinuxWacom
Hello Team, Sorry if this should not have written here but I thought that is the art team and perhaps someone has a tablet. Máirín Duffy gives me this link to make my tablet (Wacom Bamboo FUN A5Wide) on Fedora (http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/). I did this: cd linuxwacom(...)/prebuilt ./install and it started to install: Installing Wacom man page.. Installed under /usr/share/man/man4 Installing wacom_drv wacom_drv.so installed under /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input Installing utility programs (wacdump, xidump, xsetwacom) Installed under /usr/local/bin Installing wacomcpl.. Installed under /usr/local/bin You need to compile and install wacom.(k)o manually if your kernel is out of date. After adding your Wacom tools into /etc/X11/xorg.conf, please restart X server or simply reboot your system to run the new Wacom X driver. --- Then I added this lines ( http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=212355) to xorg.conf (created with Xorg -configure :1). I rebooted and... tablet doesn't works! XD (it appears on Extended Devices window on Inkscape and GIMP) Have you got any idea?

I did this: cd linuxwacom(...)/prebuilt ./install snip I don't have tablet so forgive me if my question is dumb, but why do you try to install the linuxwacom software (and from prebuilt binaries instead of recompiling them first) when there is linuxwacom package available: $ yum info linuxwacom Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin2, presto, refresh-packagekit Installed Packages Name : linuxwacom Arch : i586 Version: 0.8.2.2 Release: 11.fc11 Size : 549 k Repo : installed Summary: Wacom Drivers from Linux Wacom Project URL: http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net License: LGPLv2+ and GPLv2+ Description: The Linux Wacom Project manages the drivers, libraries, and : documentation for configuring and running Wacom tablets : under the Linux operating system. It contains diagnostic : applications as well as X.org XInput drivers. I tried to install linuxwacom packages from repo befor try this metod :) But I think in other linux distribution the pakage provided on the repo is diferent (x11-imput-wacom and wacom-tools) and in the distributions which use that packages, tablet works out-of-box. It's likely that you already have it installed as it's installed by default. You've probably broke that by trying to install it manually. I suggest you reinstall the linuxwacom package. I'll do it About enabling it, instead of playing with Xorg.conf by hand you might want to install wdaemon package: $ yum info wdaemon Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin2, presto, refresh-packagekit Available Packages Name : wdaemon Arch : i586 Version: 0.15 Release: 2.fc11 Size : 32 k Repo : rawhide Summary: Hotplug helper for Wacom X.org driver URL: http://jake.ruivo.org/~aris/wdaemon/http://jake.ruivo.org/%7Earis/wdaemon/ License: GPLv2+ Description: Helper application which emulates persistent input devices : for Wacom tablets so they can be plugged and unplugged : while X.org server is running. This should go away as soon : X.org properly supports hotplugging. Thanks for this!

Re: Different Wacom question
2009/4/24 Máirín Duffy mai...@linuxgrrl.com Hi Paul, - Original Message From: Paul Frields sticks...@gmail.com To: Fedora Art List fedora-art-list@redhat.com Sent: Friday, April 24, 2009 9:07:11 AM Subject: Different Wacom question A previous thread reminded me to bring this up. I want to buy a drawing tablet, preferably something very well supported in Fedora and using USB. I'm assuming Wacom is the way to go, but I'm not sure which model to get, and I'm open minded as long as I know it's solid and works well with Fedora. I don't want to spend a fortune, but it's OK if something goes into low three-digits (USD $), let's say US $250 or less. What does the Artwork team recommend? I've always had luck with the Wacom graphire series. They're quite affordable, while I bought mine quite some time ago I believe it was $120. For years now they just work out-of-the-box, and if you want pressure-sensitivity, it's just a little more configuration (you need to add Xorg.conf back to F10 which actually causes some painful issues (kernel panic on shutdown, fun things like that) ) but it's liveable. I heard that a fix for this went into F11. Hi Máirín, O.O Here Graphire series is more expensive than in USA!! :D ( importation issues maybe?XD) Israel ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Re: Different Wacom question
2009/4/24 Máirín Duffy mai...@linuxgrrl.com Hi Israel! Well a big factor in the price is size too. My graphire is 4 x 5. It looks like you can get a refurb 4x5 graphire for $60 on Amazon [1] and you can get one new for $100 from Wacom direct [2]. It may be a combination of the sizes you're looking at (it looks like the 4x5 version is a bit more rare these days) and importation issues. Yes: size, series (because mine is 8.5 W x 5.3 D-active area, but is a bamboo fun) and importation issues. ~m Israel [1] http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Graphire-4x5-Graphics-Tablet/dp/B000RSNVTW/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8s=electronicsqid=1240580559sr=8-5 [2] http://www.wacom.com/graphire/4x5.cfm From: Israel Rodríguez Alonso israel...@gmail.com O.O Here Graphire series is more expensive than in USA!! :D ( importation issues maybe?XD) ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: configuring wacom tablet with LinuxWacom
I edit the xorg.conf. And if Fedora repo drivers doesn't work, you install linuxwacom drivers, edit the xorg.conf and reboot (I did this last time). I use this xorg.conf configuration for tablet: Section InputDevice Driverwacom Identifiereraser OptionDevice /dev/input/uinput-devices/uinput-wacom-graphire4-6x8-tablet #USB ONLY OptionType eraser OptionUSB on#USB ONLY OptionPressCurve0,0,100,100 OptionMode Absolute OptionSpeed 1.5 EndSection Section InputDevice Driverwacom Identifiercursor OptionDevice /dev/input/uinput-devices/uinput-wacom-graphire4-6x8-tablet #USB ONLY OptionType cursor OptionMode relative OptionUSB on#USB ONLY OptionSpeed 1.5 EndSection Section InputDevice Driverwacom Identifierpad OptionDevice /dev/input/uinput-devices/uinput-wacom-graphire4-6x8-tablet #USB ONLY OptionType pad OptionUSB on#USB ONLY OptionButton1 6 OptionButton2 7 OptionButton3 4 OptionButton4 5 EndSection And then I added this to Server Layout: InputDevicepad # For Intuos3/Cintiq 21UX/Graphire/Bamboo tablets InputDevicestylusSendCoreEvents InputDeviceeraserSendCoreEvents InputDevicecursorSendCoreEvents# For non-LCD tablets only Finally I configured the tablet on Inkscape and GIMP.
