I've been happy that my older serial Wacom ArtzII tablet works with various versions of Ubuntu (tweaking neccesary). So, hopefully somebody can give me some insight on getting it to work with 10.04 Lucid. Here is the story:
In Karmic, I had the tablet/stylus/eraser working through a Keyspan serial->USB adapter, and the following lines in my xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "stylus" Option "Device" "/dev/ttyUSB0" Option "Type" "stylus" Option "USB" "on" #USB ONLY EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "eraser" Option "Device" "/dev/ttyUSB0" Option "Type" "eraser" Option "USB" "on" #USB ONLY EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "cursor" Option "Device" "/dev/ttyUSB0" Option "Type" "cursor" Option "USB" "on" #USB ONLY EndSection and in the server layout section: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection Since I've upgraded, the new xorg.conf written by the update manager reads, for those sections: # commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used and auto-detects devices # Keyboard settings are now read from /etc/default/console-setup #Section "InputDevice" # Driver "wacom" # Identifier "stylus" # Option "Device" "/dev/ttyUSB0" # Option "Type" "stylus" # Option "USB" "on" #USB ONLY #EndSection (etc) Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" # commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used and auto-detects devices # Keyboard settings are now read from /etc/default/console-setup # InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" # commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used and auto-detects devices # Keyboard settings are now read from /etc/default/console-setup # InputDevice "Configured Mouse" # commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used and auto-detects devices # Keyboard settings are now read from /etc/default/console-setup # InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" (etc) So, I read around, and tried updating /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-wacom.conf but the format seems different and I'm having no luck. I tried changing MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" to MatchDevicePath "/dev/ttyUSB0" but, no luck. I've also tried using the old xorg.conf; it didn't help. FWIW, I can still see the tablet responding through wacdump (why was wacom-tools removed as a package? grrr.).
