[Acecad-devel] Serial Acecat III doesn't work

[Kevin P. <ace...@kr...>]

Hi,

I'm using modular xorg on FC5, which includes package
xorg-x11-drv-acecad-1.0.0.5-1.2

I have an old serial port based Acecat III, which the acecad driver
claims to work with - but it's not working for me.

If I cat /dev/ttyS0 I get data when I put the pen to the tablet.

Section from my xorg.conf (I've also tried Model A-Series and various
values of ReportSpeed):

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Tablet0"
        Driver      "acecad"
        # Absolute or Relative (I don't have test Relative yet)
        Option "Mode" "Absolute"
        # Model can be Flair or A-Series
        Option "Model" "Flair"
        # You can choose report speed between 2, 10, 85 and 120
report/second.
        # 120 is very fine but need a lot of CPU.
        Option "ReportSpeed" "10"
        # This lets you choose how the buttons are mapped. Only tested
for
        # A-Series model. Choices are Standard or Acecad
        Option "ButtonMap" "Acecad"
        # Choose your port
        Option      "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
EndSection



and the error from Xorg.0.log:

(**) Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
(**) Option "BaudRate" "9600"
(**) Option "StopBits" "1"
(**) Option "DataBits" "8"
(**) Option "Parity" "Odd"
(**) Option "Vmin" "1"
(**) Option "Vtime" "10"
(**) Option "FlowControl" "Xoff"
(**) Option "ReportSpeed" "85"
(**) Acecad Tablet report 85 points/s
(EE) Unable to query/initialize AceCad hardware.
(EE) PreInit returned NULL for "Tablet0"


Any ideas?

Many thanks,
