Setting up my touchscreen

leadgolem · #1 1st April 2009, 01:48 AM

I'm using fedora 10 on my shiny new tx2510us laptop. This is a tabletpc, meaning it's a touchscreen. I'm trying to follow the direction here, with the exception that I installed linuxwacom from the repos.

I ran

Code:

dmesg | grep Wacom

Unfortunately the output did not include the device info for usage in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Output as follows.

Code:

wacom: v1.48:USB Wacom Graphire and Wacom Intuos tablet driver

Any ideas how I can ID what /dev location to use in my xorg.conf? Here is some additional info.

Code:

lsusb -v | less

lsmod | grep wacom
wacom                  19328  0

EDIT: I do not have a /dev/input/wacom

Update: After updating to fedora 11 I'm having slightly better luck.

Code:

dmesg | grep Wacom
input: Wacom ISDv4 93 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.5/usb7/7-2/7-2:1.1/input/input8
wacom: v1.49:USB Wacom Graphire and Wacom Intuos tablet driver

I'm to tired to pursue this right now, but I'll be back at it later.

Problem though, I should have two lines here. Not the one I have. Earlier I got this.

Code:

dmesg | grep wacom
wacom: probe of 7-2:1.0 failed with error -113
usbcore: registered new interface driver wacom
wacom: v1.49:USB Wacom Graphire and Wacom Intuos tablet driver

Hey, if you still didn't solve your problem, try compiling your own wacom driver according to the guide. I have the exact same tablet pc as you have and it's working flawlessly on F10 that way...

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try and see what happens.

Hmm, well compiling the 0.8.4 source resulted in some functionality.

I've got the input being recognized, but I'm getting the whole screen input being used on only the upper left corner of the screen. I can't seem to get wacomcpl to recognize the input though so I can't use that to calibrate the input either.

mck182, do you have a ~/.xinitrc (or ~/.xsession) file you could post here? Failing that, how about your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc? If I can get a hold of the text for calibrations settings that should be at least close I should be able to figure out what I need to change for my screen.

leadgolem · #6 29th August 2009, 02:10 PM

Well, I have some idea why wacomcpl can't see my tablet. xsetwacom can't either.

Code:

[leadgolem@leadgolem ~]$ xsetwacom list
[leadgolem@leadgolem ~]$

Now why xsetwacom can't see it. No idea.

Ok, I got my tablet to be recognized by wacomcpl. I needed to add the hal policy info. The following file was added as /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-wacom.fdi

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="input.originating_device" contains="if0">

I haven't done any mucking about with an xorg.conf file at all. I did notice that the only input that showed up was touch rather then the stylus and eraser. I still have some work to do, but the touch input on the tablet is now working.

leadgolem · #8 31st August 2009, 09:18 AM

Ok, as far as the stylus goes it looks like I'm back to the same old roadblock.

Code:

wacom: probe of 7-2:1.0 failed with error -113

Now if I understand correctly dmesg is just giving me what some other part of the system says. That would mean that error -113 isn't a dmesg error but an error being thrown out by something else.

Does anyone know what system is throwing the error? and/or what error 113 is? If I knew that then I would have some direction to take my investigations in.

EDIT: It also appears that my system is ignoring anything I put in my xorg.conf file for the touchscreen. Honestly don't really care about that as long as I can get things working.
