[Linuxwacom-devel] Volito 2 support and misc questions

[Davide V. <dav...@gm...>]

Short story: last week I bought a Volito 2 tablet, after checking on
linuxwacom that it worked on linux (since I plan to use it on linux
all the time). Unfortunately, I had trouble in getting it to work, and
actually didn't succeed.

Now, I still have to check again the docs, and maybe I'll do some
other attempt, but nonetheless I have some question that I didn't find
answered anywhere:
- what's the relationship between linuxwacom and the wacom module
provided with vanilla kernels? they seem to be updated in parallel,
but not to be synchronized exactely; in particular, no Volito 2 patch
seems to have made it into the kernel

- if I want to compile a 2.6.N kernel with N > 11, and use the
linuxwacom package, what should I do? there are no 2.6. subdirectories
past 11 (I tried out a selfmade patch for 2.6.13.3, to no avail)

- I am no tablet expert, but the Volito 2 tablet has no mouse and it
seems to have no eraser as well: should I add only a "stylus" device
in xorg.conf?

- does the binary wacom_drv provided with 0.70 support Volito 2?

Thank you for your attention; any additional information about Volito
2 is appreciated.
