CaptainFreedom Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Hi, I have a Intuos3 tablet. I understand that this doesn't work with Mandrake 10.1, is that true? I tried installing the latest drivers at http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/ (using ./configure --enable-hid --enable-usbmouse --enable-mousedev --enable-evdev --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux) , but I get following error: LD /home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6/src/2.6.8/built-in.o CC [M] /home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6/src/2.6.8/hid-core.o CC [M] /home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6/src/2.6.8/hiddev.o CC [M] /home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6/src/2.6.8/hid-input.o CC [M] /home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6/src/2.6.8/pid.o CC [M] /home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6/src/2.6.8/hid-lgff.o /home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6/src/2.6.8/hid-lgff.c:40:24: fixp-arith.h: No such file or directory /home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6/src/2.6.8/hid-lgff.c: In function `hid_lgff_timer': /home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6/src/2.6.8/hid-lgff.c:452: warning: implicit declaration of function `fixp_mult' /home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6/src/2.6.8/hid-lgff.c:452: warning: implicit declaration of function `fixp_sin' /home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6/src/2.6.8/hid-lgff.c:453: warning: implicit declaration of function `fixp_new16' /home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6/src/2.6.8/hid-lgff.c:454: warning: implicit declaration of function `fixp_cos' make[5]: *** [/home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6/src/2.6.8/hid-lgff.o] Error 1 make[4]: *** [_module_/home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6/src/2.6.8] Error 2 make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk' make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6/src/2.6.8' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/lefty/linuxwacom-0.6.6' make: *** [all] Error 2 I checked that the file does in fact exist: ls /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/input/fixp-arith.h /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/input/fixp-arith.h Anyone have any luck getting this device working on Mandrake?

devries Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Mandrake comes with the wacom module. No need to compile it. What problems do you have? Most problems are caused by the usbmouse module and xorg.conf errors. Search the board for pointers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most problems are caused by the usbmouse module and xorg.conf errors. Search the board for pointers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I tried doing modprobe -r usbmouse but when I do modprobe wacom it just hangs likewise if I boot up with the tablet plugged in it will hang at "detecting new hardware" Are you sure Mandrake specifically supports the *Intuos3* (as opposed to other models)?... I got the impression from the linuxwacom site that it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 It's modprobe -r usbmouse and modprobe -r wacom (the -r means unload) and modprobe wacom (that loads the module again.) If the tablet is supported by the driver and mandrake comes with that driver mandrake supports the tablet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubb Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 I'm almost certain that the intuous3 is supported. please post your XF86Config or Xorg.conf (same file) I just got my graphire working with Devries help, I'm sure we can get you rolling between us. Also, is it your only mouse, like my wacom, or do you use it in addition to a regualr mouse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeeDubb Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 I was going off this "Supported USB Devices * PenPartner * Graphire & Graphire2 * Graphire3 * Cintiq & CintiqPartner * Intuos & Intuos2 * Intuos3 * Cintiq 21UX * Volito " Right from thw wacom site, and mandrake has a very recent version of the wacom driver. Now, first off there is no configuration at all for the intuous in your xorg.conf. It's just not there, and you'll have to fix that. Now about the booting, at what point does the boot fail? Does X refuse to start, or does it hang earlier along. If it's X refusing to start, it could be a conflict between the intuous and ps2 mouse since the intuous isn't configured. If you're hanging earlier in the boot, then you're probably right about the driver problem. We;ll cross that bridge when we get there. In the mean time, I'd avoid monkying around with drivers. It's really unlikely that you'll fix it that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubb Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Oops, read more carefuly now, I see where it's hanging. What I suggest, if you haven't done anything silly like deleting the drivers, is blacklisting the usbmouse module. I think the blacklist file is /etc/hotpulg/blacklist MANY people have problems with the conflict between usbmouse and wacom, so give it a go. Then reboot with it plugged in and see what heppens. If it boots, we're past that hurdle and can work on getting it configured correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainFreedom Posted April 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 I put usbmouse in the blacklist on a fresh install of Mandrake 10.1. Still same problem. Hangs on boot at "mount USB filesystem". If I do modprobe wacom it also hangs, and I can't even shut down the system afterwards. I don't see any relevant error messages in /var/log/messages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Try modprobe with X closed down (in a terminal, init 3). And have a look at your processes (ps aux)to check if modprobe is active (kill -9 <PID> pid=number of modprobe process) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainFreedom Posted April 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Okay, I tried modprobe wacom, with another fresh install of Mandrake. It doesn't hang this time, but it doesn't detect the tablet either. pr 24 00:35:19 localhost kernel: usbcore: registered new driver wacom Apr 24 00:35:19 localhost kernel: drivers/usb/input/wacom.c: v1.30:USB Wacom Graphire and Wacom Intuos tablet driver Apr 24 00:35:27 localhost kernel: ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: wakeup Apr 24 00:35:28 localhost kernel: usb 2-3: new full speed USB device using address 2 Apr 24 00:35:28 localhost kernel: usbcore: registered new driver hiddev Apr 24 00:35:28 localhost kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: ctrl urb status -32 received Apr 24 00:35:28 localhost last message repeated 2 times Apr 24 00:35:38 localhost kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: ctrl urb status -2 received Apr 24 00:35:38 localhost kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed When I was trying to install Mandrake I had to unplug the device or the installation program itself would hang. Also hangs detecting new hardware if you have it plugged in when you boot up. Which leads me to think that there is something seriously wrong with that driver. Maybe its because the Intuos3 is a new tablet and they haven't updated the driver for that yet. Also could be because I have a nForce2 PC.

VeeDubb Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 (edited) If this is a 'fresh' install, try upgrading your kernel. I seem to recal having trouble with the kernel on the disks myself. The kernel has been updaed and fixed quite a bit, and I actualy didn't have any trouble with module conflicts until I upgraded my xorg and kde to thac's rpms. Then, once the kernel is updated, blacklist usbmouse (it's not like you need it) and then plug it in and follow devrise's instructions. Alternate commands that I find easier. ctrl-alt-f1 (log in as root, or su to root) service dm stop rmmod wacom rmmod usbmouse modprobe wacom Then, take a look in dev to see what's going on there, see if there is an event for your tablet. I'm guessing it will be the same as my wacom. Normaly it's /dev/input/event0, but with the latest kernel and xorg, I found it's event1 with no other pointing device and event2 when my trackball is plugged in. Anyway, cd /dev/input/ ls (look at what events are listed) cat /dev/input/event* Try that with each event, or just start at event 0 is you want, and then put the mouse on the tablet and move it around, see if you get loads of output. If at some point you DO get loads of output, your tablet is working for sure, and we can get you configured. If you do get output from /dev/input/event1 or whatever event, make note of which event it is. You'll need that info to configure the tablet. I really hope we can help you get this sorted. The gimp is awsome with a pressure sensative tablet, as there are WAY more options for pressure sensativity than in photoshop. edit* one more thing, with some versions of the driver, and I don't know why, the tablet won't reccognize the mouse, until you lift the mouse off the tablet once, so when you first enter a cat command or first startx, you may have to pick the mouse up once. Not a big deal really, but it confused the hell out of me until I figured it out. Edited April 23, 2005 by VeeDubb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainFreedom Posted April 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Thanks for you help, VeeBurg. I finally got it working!!! It was a driver problem in the end. You need the latest linuxwacom drivers to get Intuos3 working. However, the drivers have a nasty bug: you get compilor errors ... missing functions in wacom.c I opened the 2.6.9 wacom.c file and copied the functions from there to the 2.6.9 wacom.c Then just follow all the other instructions on linuxwacom site. I pasted the xorg.conf settings, but it's important to remove the line Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0" # SERIAL ONLY and change "/dev/input/event0" to the appropiate device. Christ, that was by far the most difficult thing I had to install on linux so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubb Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Well, it dosen't look like I did much to help, but I'm glad you got it working. Once you have all the different tools configured in your XF86Config, have a look at the settings for gimp. Once you get the tools working in the Gimp with pressure sensativity, it's fantastic.

CaptainFreedom Posted April 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Yep, it's now working nice in the Gimp. I'm planning on doing a lot of graphic design type work. This makes my job a whole lot easier. cheers, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
