[Linuxwacom-devel] Bamboo Wireless Support

2012-01-05 Thread Chris Bagwell
Hi all,

If you have one of the newer Bamboo tablets and also have the optional
wireless module then I have some good news for you.  I have an initial
driver to add wireless support.

I'm looking for people with the optional wireless module to help test
with the various versions of the 3rd gen Bamboo tablet and different
USB hubs.  You need to be comfortable with git and building linux
kernels since I currently only have it as a branch off input-wacom.

Basic directions to get the new driver and test it:

git clone git://github.com/cbagwell/input-wacom.git -b wireless_draft
cd input-wacom
./autogen.sh
cd 2.6.38
sudo rmmod wacom
sudo insmod ./wacom.ko

I hope to add rfkill support next so that the receiver plays nice in
airplane mode.  After that, I'll see if there are other options the
Windows driver has that seem useful under Linux as well (it has a
power savings setting that looks interesting).

Chris

Re: [Linuxwacom-devel] Multitouch?

2012-01-05 Thread Cedric Sodhi
In reply to my own message, I've been helped on IRC, particularly by
Carlos Garnacho who informed me that recent evdev has gotten MT support
just 10 days ago.

While this is generally good news that MT eventually makes a stable
appearance in evdev, the implementation differs from anything that was
previously attempted and is also not supported by QT.

So I guess I'm stuck without MT for now.

Thanks everyone.

Hello Chris, Hello Ben,

I want to expose MT to the toolkit as it expects it. Qt supports
multitouch.

MT. Clicking at two places at once (vmpk, a virtual MIDI keyboard has
said MT support and in order to play accords I will need MT).

Can Peter's things help me with that?

I also found something at the institute where Ben
Tissoires works:

http://lii-enac.fr/en/architecture/linux-input/index.html#xorg

Sounds exactly like what I need, doesn't it? Creating an  arbitrary
number of subdevices. Unfortunally, it is very outdated and doesn't
compile.

I'm still not sure how this is supposed to work in the long term.
Currently, in order to get MPX (which I think is the only method to
transpart MT to toolkits), I will have to statically create new master
devices for each pointer and reattach the respective devices.

That means I got several pointers on the screen at every point in time.

Shouldn't this be handled a bit more... flexibly? Assuming Ben's driver
created "Subdevices on the fly", would it also create their masters on
the fly?

Anyway, it doesn't compile. Do you have any further tips?

Thank you,
Cedric
