Okay, I've updated the machine - it's current. I've plugged in the Wacom tablet and let it sit for 5 hours. The machine did, indeed freeze, but here's what I did:
The tablet did not function. `lsmod` shows a wacom module running, so I'm assuming I don't have to rebuild the kernel to get this thing to work. The mouse gives a right-click event when clicking. The stylus and eraser do nothing. Sometimes I can get the desktop to rotate - from one desktop to the other. I modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf to add the lines suggested at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765915 (HOWTO: Wacom in 8.04 Hardy). These are as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------- Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "stylus" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "stylus" # Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY Option "USB" "on" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "eraser" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "eraser" # Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY Option "USB" "on" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "cursor" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "cursor" # Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY Option "USB" "on" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "pad" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "pad" Option "USB" "on" EndSection -------------------------------------------------------------- and in the ServerLayout section,... -------------------------------------------------------------- InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "pad" -------------------------------------------------------------- Then I rebooted the machine. This did not seem to fix anything; however, the pen and eraser will now make the cursor go up and down but not left and right. While I was looking at the /var/log/xorg.0.log file, the machine froze. I didn't see any complaints from X in the log (but I could have missed them). X did load the wacom driver. Is there anything else I can do to help fix this? -- Wacom tablet doesn't work in Gutsy, freezes OS in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230541 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
