Serial Tablet

[curaga]

Since you have the serial device, kernel and udev are fine. It looks like you're only missing the wacom Xorg driver - we don't have that in the repo currently.

Compiling it should be fairly easy with compiletc and Xorg-7.6-dev.

im using xorg 7.5, should that cause problems?

[fmayhewubh]

and if you mean wacom.ko.gz i have that. it came w/input-tablet-touchscreen

[curaga]

I mean xf86-input-wacom. If using 7.5, then you need Xorg-7.5-dev

[fmayhewubh]

downloaded the xf86input, unziped, downloaded gcc,

Code: [Select]

checking to see whether the C compiler works... no
...
configure error: C compiler cannot create executables

Use the compiletc extension.

Hi fmayhewubh
Did you install  Xorg-7.5-dev.tcz ?

[fmayhewubh]

Yep, set for on boot,

[fmayhewubh]

needed pixman, and udev lib/dev

did a make and sudo make install... testing.

[fmayhewubh]

lost x after restart. couldn't read output unfortunately command line also having problems, when i Ctrl+Alt+Backspace i get a blank screen, i can still startx but i cant see the prompt

[fmayhewubh]

as quoted from Xorg.log

Code: [Select]

(II) LoadModule: "wacom"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module wacom
(II) UnloadModule: "wacom"
(EE) Failed to load module "wacom" (module does not exist, 0)
do i need to unzip the gz'd module. it was included in input-tablet-touchscreen

[fmayhewubh]

I dont understand! there is a wacom.ko.gz in just about every location that its expected but Xorg cant find the driver >.<

[fmayhewubh]

when i modprobe i get a "cannot find" error when i sudo modprobe it, it will load the module but when i reload x Xorg.log still says the driver dosen't exist.

Then try adding a modprobe to your bootlocal.sh

/sbin/modprobe wacom

reboot to test
