[Linuxwacom-discuss] where is /dev/input/wacom

[Philippe R. <pro...@al...>]

Hi,

--supposing that my bamboo fun works with linuxwacom-0.7.9-2.tar.bz2--

I have an ubuntu 7.10 up to date

kernel  :  2.6.22-14-generic

/etc/X11/xorg.conf contains


Section "InputDevice"
    Driver        "wacom"
    Identifier    "stylus"
    Option        "Device"    "/dev/input/wacom"
    Option        "Type"        "stylus"
    Option        "ForceDevice"    "ISDV4"        # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Driver        "wacom"
    Identifier    "eraser"
    Option        "Device"    "/dev/input/wacom"
    Option        "Type"        "eraser"
    Option        "ForceDevice"    "ISDV4"        # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Driver        "wacom"
    Identifier    "cursor"
    Option        "Device"    "/dev/input/wacom"
    Option        "Type"        "cursor"
    Option        "ForceDevice"    "ISDV4"        # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection


Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier    "Default Layout"
    Screen        "Default Screen"
    InputDevice    "Generic Keyboard"
    InputDevice    "Configured Mouse"

# Uncomment if you have a wacom tablet
    InputDevice     "stylus"    "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice     "cursor"    "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice     "eraser"    "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "Synaptics Touchpad"
EndSection


 dpkg -l | grep wacom gives :

ii  wacom-kernel-source   1:0.7.7.7-0ubuntu2
ii  wacom-tools                  1:0.7.7.7-0ubuntu2                  
ii  xserver-xorg-input-wacom    1:0.7.7.7-0ubuntu2


I downloaded linuxwacom-0.7.9-2.tar.bz2 and did the following :

cd linuxwacom/prebuilt
su
./uninstall
./install

I rebooted the light of my bamboo fun is on

I cannot find /dev/input/wacom
wacomis nowhere into /dev
and cat /dev/input/eventxx gives nothing

I thought udev would create automaticaly the file


thanks for your help

Philippe
