Linux Wacom Tablet Project

I'm running 64-bit, OpenSUSe 11.3. Everything finally compiled okay but the tablet still doesn't work. I'm seeing the following message in my xorg.0.log: [ 389.710] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input/wacom_drv.so [ 389.710] (II) Module wacom: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 389.710] compiled for 4.3.99.902, module version = 1.0.0 [ 389.710] Module class: X.Org XInput Driver [ 389.710] ABI class: [ 389.710] (EE) module ABI major version (2) doesn't match the server's version (9) [ 389.710] (II) UnloadModule: "wacom" [ 389.710] (II) Unloading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input/wacom_drv.so [ 389.710] (EE) Failed to load module "wacom" (module requirement mismatch, 0) Someone suggested adding the following to Xorg.conf but it only killed the Xserver. Section "ServerFlags" Option "IgnoreABI" "True" EndSection is there another workaround?

How did you compile the driver on driver on the system? Please post your steps along with the outputs here. Thank you.

The driver was compiled on the same machine that's giving the error. The machine is running this kernel: Linux 2.6.34-12-desktop x86_64. The machine is new, the tablet (CTH-661)is now about 6 months old. The machine got a fresh install of OpenSUSe 11.3, 64 bit. I installed the kcm_tablet - KDE 4 KCModule for the Wacom Linux Drivers - v 1.2-1.2 and wacom-kmp-desktop - Kernel modules for Wacom Tablets- v 0.8.1_k2.6.34.0_12-10.1 files that came with the distro. They didn't seem to work, so I went to the LinuxWacom project site and other forums for more information. I installed base development & TCL/TK development packages (I'm not a developer and these are "extra" to the basic desktop) I verified that ncurses, libtool, libXi and the other development packages were installed. Using directions in this thread on the OpenSUSe forums: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/hardware/443230-there-no-x11-input-wacom-packages-opensuse-11-3-a-3.html I installed these additional kernel packages: kernel-source, kernel-syms, xorg-x11-server-sdk I downloaded xf86-input-wacom-0.10.8.tar.bz2, unpacked it, ran configure, make, & make install I downloaded wacomlinux-0.8.8-8.tar.bz2, unpacked it, ran ./configure --enable-wacom --prefix=/usr, and copied the modules to the specified directories The directions given for creating symbolic links failed with "file or directory not found" on the Module.symvers, and dbus-arch-deps.h. This command seemed to work:[ code]# cd /usr/src/linux-`uname -r | cut -d- -f1,2` # make oldconfig && make modules_prepare Things still weren't working - everything pointed to the need for a Xorg.conf file, which OpenSUSe 11.3 doesn't use, so I copied the Xorg.conf.install as Xorg.conf. Then I added the Wacom settings: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout" Screen "vboxvideo" Screen "vmware" Screen "cirrus" Screen "fbdev" Screen "vesa" InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" # For non-LCD tablets only InputDevice "touch" "SendCoreEvents" # Only a few TabletPCs support this type InputDevice "pad" # For Intuos3/CintiqV5/Graphire4/Bamboo tablets EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "stylus" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY Option "Type" "stylus" Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "eraser" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY Option "Type" "eraser" Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "cursor" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY Option "Type" "cursor" Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY EndSection # This section is for Intuos3, CintiqV5, Graphire4, or Bamboo without touch Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "pad" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY Option "Type" "pad" Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY EndSection # This section is for USB Bamboo with touch Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "pad" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom-touch" # USB ONLY Option "Type" "pad" Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY EndSection # This section is for the TabletPC that supports touch Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "touch" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom-touch" # USB ONLY Option "Type" "touch" Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY EndSection The Wacom rules file at /etc/udev/rules.d didn't have much in it (I think it was 10-wacom.rules) so I replaced it with the 60-wacom.rules from linuxwacom-0.8.8-8/src/util and added the following to it: BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{bInterfaceNumber}=="00", ENV{WACOM_TYPE}="stylus" BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{bInterfaceNumber}=="01", ENV{WACOM_TYPE}="touch" BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", ENV{WACOM_TYPE}!="touch", SYMLINK+="input/wacom" BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", ENV{WACOM_TYPE}=="touch", SYMLINK+="input/wacom-touch" The tablet still wasn't working after system restarts. dmesg would show the system knew the tablet was there and it looked like a driver was being loaded, depmod -a didn't make any difference. I ran across a posting saying macros should be installed, so I tried that wget http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/util/util-macros-1.10.0.tar.bz2 tar xvfj util-macros-1.10.0.tar.bz2 cd util-macros ./configure --prefix=/usr sudo make install still no response from the tablet. checking the xorg.0.log I found the ABI error. Searching forums, I found the code to stop the mismatch-error. It killed the xserver, so I took it back out. They system works, the tablet doesn't. if you need any more information, please let me know. thanks, nancy

Hi nancy, You don't have a Wacom tablet mouse so remove the cursor section from the xorg.conf and the cursor line from "ServerLayout". You are correct, the pad should be on the wacom-touch symlink so remove the duplicate pad section with the wacom symlink. The pad line in "ServerLayout" would be trying to make both active. Favux

Favux I removed the pad & cursor lines from xorg.conf and restarted the system. I still get the ABI mismatch (2 versus 9) & the tablet doesn't work.

What is the output of "X -version" on your system? Please redo the following steps to see what happens: download wacomlinux-0.8.8-8.tar.bz2 unpacked it ./configure make su make install reboot

Sorry, I meant linuxwacom-0.8.8-8.tar.bz2. It was copied and pasted from your messages ;).

Your wacom_drv.so did not build from linuxwacom-0.8.8-8. I wonder what X server you are running. Please post the output of "X -version" here.

Hi nancy, It looks like your Xserver is version 1.7 or higher (that's what Ping wanted to find out with 'Xorg -version') so linuxwacom will not build the X driver wacom_drv.so. That's why in the config output you see: checking if Xorg server is version 1.7 or later... yes You need to compile xf86-input-wacom for the X driver. That's why you see in the BUILD ENVIRONMENT: wacom_drv.so - no /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input Also it looks like you forgot the '--enable-wacom' flag this time because it also says: wacom.o - no So it's not compiling the new wacom.ko you need. This will give an ABI mismatch. For instructions see Sections 1 & 2 on this HOW TO: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1038949 Although it's for Debian/Ubuntu other Suse users say they are able to follow it. Just remember in Section 1 after compiling linuxwacom not to do 'sudo make install', just copy the new compiled wacom.ko into place. Favux

Here's the info from the "X -version"aQQQQQQQ X.Org X Server 1.8.0 Release Date: 2010-04-02 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX Current Operating System: Linux linux-8iym 2.6.34-12-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-06-29 02:39:08 +0200 x86_64 Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda2 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3750528AS_9VP5BBKL-part7 splash=silent quiet vga=0x31a Build Date: 19 August 2010 03:34:22PM Current version of pixman: 0.18.0 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version. I compiled the drivers from xf86-input-wacom on an earlier pass, just as I ran the --enable-wacom flag when doing the wacom build (on an earlier pass). I just didn't use the flag on this pass. The wacom.ko file I'm running is dated August 31, 2010. I compiled the driver & copied it to the following directories: /lib/modules/2.6.34-12-desktop/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko /lib/modules/2.6.34-12-desktop/updates/wacom.ko

Hi nancy, The only other thing I can think of, is since you're on 64-bit, you may need to add the 64-bit flag: "Using --prefix=/usr installs to /usr instead of the default /usr/local. On a 64-bit install you may need to add another flag. To check see where evdev_drv.so is located. If it is in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input, then '--prefix=/usr' is correct. If in /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input, then you need to add '--libdir=/usr/lib64'". And that would be for both linuxwacom and xf86-input-wacom. Otherwise we'll have to see if Ping knows what's wrong. Favux

IT WORKS!!!!! I'm going to do a Snoopy dance now!!!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you

Hi nancy, Awesome! : )

Thank you favux for your awesome help. Thank you Nancy for your patience.
