Devices don't mount anymore after kernel install

[Earny]

I changed edited /etc/modules:

Now it looks like this:

 

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.

#

# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are

# to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with

# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.

 

scsi_hostadapter

wacom

usbcore

input

 

I rebooted, however no result.

Did you check with this command yet?

# grep -i wacom /var/log/messages | tail

 

This is from Wacom driver loaded section of HOW TO? CLICK HERE Compare your info from the command with the HOW TO

 

From the previous lsmod it appears all the needed modules are loading

(wacom, usb-uhci, input, mousedev, evdev)

but we need to see if the the wacom version is ok... and that we can see from the above command. That is the missing link I think. ;)

Thanks Kmack (you don't seem to give up either)

My feeling says that we are close.

Thatś what it says:

 

# grep -i wacom /var/log/messages | tail

The Wacom howto remains abacadabra

But how do I check the version number?

Hi Earny, well done! (.. not that I'd know what you are doing :unsure: )

 

indeed, looks as if your wonderful tablet is recognized, initiliazed, modules loaded.

The driver version - I am not sure.

 wacom.c: v1.21.3 Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz>

 

On the wacom site they say:

kernel: wacom.c: v1.30-j0.4.0 Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz>

 

kmack? bvc?

 

The next step would be to check your XF86Config-4 file which you'll find here:

 

/etc/X11/XF86Config-4

 

There need to be additional entries (which are possibly already created) to get your wacom working. Look here as an example:

 

http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.ph.../howto/inputdev

 

You might want to post here all InputDevice sections of your XF86 file.

 

BTW: do you have a USB mouse AND a USB wacom tablet?

 

Ok, waiting til kmack is awake in Indonesia (?) or bvc is joining here.

???????????????

 

I get curious. So: do not hesitate to do so :D

I will try out your advise later. Tonight there is "JX" (which does not necessarilly mean that we live in the same city ;) )

Earny and Anna,

 

Sorry I am on the other side of the world and it adds to the suspense of getting things going.

 

From your post, it doesn't appear that the kernel module you need is provided by the kernel you have installed. Your "tail" shows a much earlier version than the HOW TO does. Guess we'll have to compile a new module after all. I need to do some homework and get back to you.

 

I've been really sick here and running back and forth to the hospital doing tests. I have another appointment in an hour or so, and won't be able to do this until later this morning my time at the earliest. Sorry... hope bvc or someone can offer some advice until I can get back to this.

 

Blessings... you are doing great. and you are right Earny, I am not one to give up. My motto is, "I hate to get beat by a machine!" :)

If the 2.4.20 has the fixes and Earny's running 2.4.22.....???? Honestly, I haven't read the docs, so I'm clueless. I did glance over a few pages and it looks pretty straight forward. The mods load, rt? Then edit the XF86Config-4 and see what happens. You're gonna have to do it anyway, rt? Do it and see if it works with *cough* the latest kernel b4 messing with compiling the stuff. My 2 cents :P .

[Earny]

Anna,

This is the input device section of my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:

 

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Keyboard1"

Driver "Keyboard"

Option "XkbModel" "pc105"

Option "XkbLayout" "us_intl"

Option "XkbOptions" ""

EndSection

 

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Mouse1"

Driver "mouse"

Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

EndSection

 

I use a USB cordless mouse

 

Kmack, please take your time. My problem is not the end of the world and your health is far more important.

 

BVC and Anna:

It's not clear to me which part of the XF86Config-4: file I have to colpy.

What I will do is run Knoppix from CD (the tablet works on Knoppix) and see what Knoppix included in the file.

 

Regards

Earny
