juanchor Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Hi. I have a problem with my wacom Graphire 2 tablet, it seems a very common one, but I haven't found a full solution yet. When I boot into linux and move the mouse or the stylus on the tablet, the cursor goes to the left side of the screen and keeps there, moving only vertically, upwards when I move to the left and downwards when I move to the right. I found a workaround for this, it seems that usbmouse and wacom modules conflict, so I enter as root in a console: modprobe -r usbmouse modprobe -r wacom modprobe wacom (hey VeeDubb thanks for the info, I read it from you) and that's it, the cursor moves from then on as it should... but the mouse works in absolute mode and I don't have pressure input in The GIMP. Yes, if you wondered, my XF86Config-4 file has the wacom input devices in and all that. And everytime I boot into linux, it's the same annoying thing over and over I read that with kernel 2.6.7 this problem was gone, but I have used the 10.0 OE out-of-the-box kernel 2.6.3-7 and the very latest 2.6.3-14 and it is the same :unsure:. Have lost the "cool" splash screen at startup tough :P Any way to prevent the kernel from loading the usbmouse module? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest x4nder Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 (edited) Enter as root in a console and go to /etc/hotplug, edit file blacklist and add usbmouse. Reboot. Edited July 5, 2004 by x4nder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchor Posted July 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Joy! Thanks a lot, that made the trick :D. I haven't pressure sensitivity yet, but I'll try compiling the wacom drivers... I have to download the kernel sources to install the nVIDIA ones after all... Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest afterxleep Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Disabling usbmouse worked, but obviously it disables the touchpad of my laptop. After updating to kernel 2.6.3-16 the problem continues. I managed to install a prebuilt version 2.6x from the linuxwacom project, but nothing happened. I guess a kernel re-compile would fix it. Any news about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
