Genius Tablet USB

[ethraza]

Hi everyone!

Someone knows how to get a Genius Tablet USB (WizardPen) to work in Xorg? I'm using

MandrakeLinux 10.1 with 2.6.10-1 Kernel. Harddrake has detected the Tablet as a HID device.

 

I put this in my xorg.conf but did nothing:

 

Section "InputDevice"

Driver "summa"

Identifier "Mouse[3]"

Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0" # It's right to a USB Device?

Option "InputFashion" "Tablet"

Option "Mode" "Absolute"

Option "Name" "EasyPen"

Option "Compatible" "True"

Option "Cursor" "Stylus"

Option "Protocol" "Auto"

Option "SendCoreEvents" "on"

Option "Vendor" "GENIUS"

EndSection

 

Section "ServerLayout"

Identifier "layout1"

InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"

InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"

InputDevice "Mouse[3]" "SendCoreEvents" # Tablet

Screen "screen1"

EndSection

 

I also have a Playstation like joypad by Players and want to know how to get it to work.

 

Thanks in advance. :D

Does the tablet work? If you do cat /dev/ttySO and move the stylus do you get an output? My wacom (usb) is /dev/input/eventx (were x=1,2,3 etc)

Thanks 4 d reply.

 

I did a tail -f on /dev/ttyS0 and see nothing, is the same with eventx.

This config I got from Internet googling about Genius Tablet, but I don't know if this is right.

 

But I noticed that when I click the second button of my PEN, where the cursor is, the hole line get selected, so something is working in some way.

 

Let me see you tablet configs. Who knows...

About the joypad, it was properly detected by the Linux. The problem is that the Linux games like Chromium simple don't see the joypad and don't have options to this, but I see it working with a jtest /dev/input/js0 if someone wants to know.

 

But the Genius is another stupid company that don't see beyond the nose. I don't know how to get this working with my Linux.

The gamepad: if there is a /dev/input/js0 the problems lies with the games. Run the game from a console and look for an error. Usually it means the game is looking for the js in /dev/js or /dev/js0 or only root can acces the device. Try linking (ln -s /dev/input/js0 /dev/js or if user can not run it: chmod 666 /dev/input/js0)

 

The tablet: Try unloading usbmouse (modprobe -r usbmouse and reload the genius module (if there is one :) ). With the wacom tablet I have to do modprobe -r wacom && modprobe wacom.
