Linux Wacom Tablet Project / Discussion / Open Discussion: Suse 11.3 Intuos 4 8x13

mikepm - 2011-01-22

Hi favux,

Spoke too soon! Problem is still there, but I can be a bit more specific
about it now. Apologies for the long post, but I'm trying to give you
any info that may be of help.

I have access to the full range of the tablet when I initially install the
drivers WITHOUT XORG.CONF ENTRIES - though . As soon as I add the xorg.conf entries
for stylus, eraser and pad, and restart the Xserver I no longer have access
to the full width of tablet in X direction.

I am using a Wacom Intuos4 8x13 (large) usb tablet

On OpenSuse 11.3 my version of Xserver is X.Org X Server 1.8.0

The video controller I'm using is the Nvidia proprietary driver
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0dc4 (rev a1)

I've checked the NVidia gui and TWinview is definitely off, also confirmed
in the Xorg.0.log file

I install

linuxwacom-0.8.8-10
xf86-input-wacom-0.10.10+ using Git

At this stage I have no entries in Xorg.conf for the tablet, and can access the whole tablet in the x and y directions.

Running more /proc/bus/input/devices I get (for the tablet)

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=056a Product=00ba Version=0104
N: Name="Wacom Intuos4 8x13"
P: Phys=

B: KEY=1cff 0 1f01ff 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=100
B: ABS=100 f000167
B: MSC=1

My root/dev/input folder contains shortcuts for
tablet-intuos4-8x13
wacom

Should I be using the tablet-intuos4-8x13 entry in some way?

Looking at the Xorg.0.log I get the following for the tablet

(II) config/udev: Adding input device Wacom Intuos4 8x13 (/dev/input/event6)
(**) Wacom Intuos4 8x13: Applying InputClass "evdev tablet catchall"

(II) config/udev: Adding input device Wacom Intuos4 8x13 (/dev/input/mouse1)
(EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)

So at this stage things seem to be ok, except I cannot configure the tablet
manually to do eg Rotate Half on the pad. Is there a way to configure it without the need to
add entries to Xorg.conf, or is it essential to make those entries?

I now add the stylus, eraser and pad entries to Xorg.conf, so it now reads

When I restart and look at the Xorg.0.log I get

At this point I no longer have access to the full width of tablet in X direction.
Apart from that it seems to work. I can use it in Gimp and the full pressure
sensitivity is there.

Running xsetwacom the following values are set
"TopX" "0" "TopY" "0" "BottomX" "65024" "BottomY" "40640"

I notice RandR is also loaded, but I've never done anything with it settings.

ONE CURIOUS THING. When I run "rmmod wacom" I get the message
Tablet Wacom PenPartner removed

I would have expected the message to refer to the intuos 4. Is it somehow not
recognizing the tablet properly through the wacom driver in X11?

The xorg.conf.d folder has a file 20-wacom.conf with the following:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Wacom Tablet"
MatchVendor "Wacom|WALTOP|WACOM"
Driver "wacom"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Wacom Tablet 2"
MatchProduct "WACf|FUJ02e5|FUJ02e7"
Driver "wacom"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
# N-Trig Duosense Electromagnetic Digitizer
Identifier "N-Trig Tablet"
MatchProduct "HID 1b96:0001"
Driver "wacom"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Wacom serial class"
    MatchProduct "Serial Wacom Tablet"
    Driver "wacom"
    Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
EndSection

Does that look right to you?

Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

Hi mike,

First we have to address why your Xorg.0.log says that your Intuos4 is not on the Wacom drivers. That's what:

(**) Wacom Intuos4 8x13: Applying InputClass "evdev tablet catchall"

is telling you. It should be followed by another line looking something like:

(**) Wacom Intuos4 8x13: Applying InputClass "Wacom Tablet"

Since you have Xserver 1.8 you do not need to use xorg.conf. While you can do so you will not be able to hot plug your tablet using it. The configuration file you are "suppose" to use is the 20-wacom.conf in xorg.conf.d presumably at /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. You should use one or the other, not both. The following is the usb snippet:

Section "InputClass" Identifier "Wacom Tablet" MatchVendor "Wacom|WALTOP|WACOM" Driver "wacom" EndSection

for your tablet. You can add Options for your tablet below the Driver line or use xsetwacom commands in a script.

Since you are using the latest linuxwacom 0.8.8-10 wacom.ko and the xf86-input-wacom X driver 0.10.10+ I'm not sure what's wrong. So let's first start by commenting out or removing the Wacom entries in xorg.conf. And after a reboot check the Xorg.0.log and let's look at the output of:

dmesg | grep [Ww]acom & lsmod | grep wacom

Hi favux,

Thanks for your reply.

I've deleted the wacom lines from the xorg.conf file.

I've checked the 20-wacom.conf file and it contains the lines you quoted. The file is in the /etc/x11/xorg.conf.d folder.
I don't have a /usr/share/x11/xorg.conf.d folder.

Rebooting I get

Does this throw any light on things?

Still not getting the tablet on the Wacom drivers apparently. I'm assuming the stylus, etc. don't work right. Since you have a wacom.conf with the correct match lines the problem would then seem to be either with your wacom.ko or your install of the X driver (wacom_wac.so) from xf86-input-wacom.

The 60-wacom.rules you show has your tablet in it, the 00ba, so I'd think the wacom.ko does too. I'm not sure when your model was added however. You could check the properties of the wacom.ko in your kernels modules directory and make sure it has the same date you compiled it and that there isn't a duplicate wacom.ko around. The wacom.rules only matters if you are using the symlink in the xorg.conf.

But the likely problem is with xf86-input-wacom. Any problems when compiling it and installing? Errors? Do you have a 64-bit install of openSUSE?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Hi favux,

Thanks for your reply. Again apologies for the long post, but maybe you will spot something I am missing.

I'm using the 32 bit version of Open Suse 11.3

I don't have a wacom_wac.so file anywhere on my system (should I?) but I do have

wacom.fdi     in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty
wacom fdi     in /usr/local/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty 
wacom.ko      in /lib/modules/2.6.34.7-07-desktop/kernel/drivers/input/tablet
hid-wacom.ko  in /lib/modules/2.6.34.7-07-desktop/kernel/drivers/hid
wacom_drv.la  in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input
wacom_drv.so  in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input

I've gone back to the start and reinstalled the files again.

Installing the xf86-input-wacom using the git version both wacom_drv.la and wacom_drv.so
are installed with the right timestamp. The output from the run is

Libraries have been installed in:

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

I copied the wacom.ko file to

/lib/modules/2/6/34/7-07-desktop/kernel/drivers/input/tablet

I don't have a /lib/modules/2/6/34/7-07-desktop/kernel/drivers/usb/input folder.

I noice that when I run more /proc/bus/input/devices there is something against the
Phys= line for my usb keyboard, but nothing for the usb tablet.

Hi Mike,

The wacom_wac.c is in the linuxwacom-0.8.8-10 /src/2.6.30/ directory. It's part of the code to make the wacom.ko.

The compile and install of xf86-input-wacom-010.10+ seemed to go OK with no problems with autogen.sh, make, or sudo make install.

The configure of linuxwacom-0.8.8-10 went well with the wacom.ko made, since it says:

BUILD OPTIONS:
     wacom.o - yes

You do not need to do make. I'm concerned about where you copied the wacom.ko to though. Where is it suppose to go in openSUSE? In Ubuntu it would be:
    sudo cp ./2.6.30/wacom.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko

Where did: /lib/modules/2/6/34/7-07-desktop/kernel/drivers/input/tablet come from? Since it found the kernel headers at: /lib/modules/2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop/build Wouldn't it be at somewhere like: /lib/modules/2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko?

Anyway when you find it copy the compilied wacom.ko over the default wacom.ko and do a:
    sudo depmod -a
to rebuild all of the module dependencies and then reboot.

Hi favux,

Sorry for the confusion in my previous post. The

/lib/modules/2/6/34/7-07-desktop/kernel/drivers/input/tablet

was a typo. I meant.

/lib/modules/2.6.34.7-07-desktop/kernel/drivers/input/tablet

I've run the depmod -a command and rebooted. Device still not recognized.

I've had a look at the original wacom_wac.c file that would have been used by the original 11.3 kernel compile. This clearly has my Intuos4 8x13 tablet mentioned in the list of devices, so it should have been recognized without the need to run with the latest files as above. This seems to suggest that there may be a problem somewhere in my install of Open Suse 11.3 - though it was a pretty routine install. I am deeply puzzled. I think the linux wacom files are fine - it's something else.

I'm stumped. It seems like it should be working. You appear to have the usb driver, X driver, and correct configuration file.

Hi favux,

I've noticed that there are pre-release versions of Suse 11.4 available to try. I downloaded it and the tablet works fine without the need to do any driver updates! As the final release of 11.4 is due early March 2011 I'll wait until this is available, as it seems insoluble on 11.3. Thank you very much though for all your help over the past couple of weeks in trying to find a solution. With your help I've learned a lot about the driver update process and I'm sure this will be useful in future.

Thank you.

Mike
