Debian Lenny on X61 Tablet

[javafalke]

Hi,

I switched from Ubuntu 8.10 to Debian 5.0. Unfortunately, my wacom tablet is not working. On Ubuntu I used to add the following to xorg.conf and things worked just fine.

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
        Driver          "wacom"
        Identifier      "stylus"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
        Option          "Type"          "stylus"
        Option          "Button2"       "3"
        Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"         # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Driver          "wacom"
        Identifier                      "eraser"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
        Option          "Type"          "eraser"
        Option          "Button3"       "2"
        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

But on Lenny the device /dev/input/wacom does not exist.

Code: Select all

mathias@wizard:/dev$ find ./ -name wacom
mathias@wizard:/dev$ ls /dev/input
by-path  event1  event3  event5  event7  event9  mouse0
event0   event2  event4  event6  event8  mice
mathias@wizard:/dev$

What can I do?

You may be missing the wacom tools package. Try installing it:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install wacom tools

Another alternative is to try using /dev/ttyS0 instead of /dev/input/wacom in your current xorg.conf file.

When you learn to call it Linux, I might help you.

this will install it. Then of you don't like the Xorg.conf under Leny and Ubuntu's one is good, you can copy Ubuntu's xorg to your Lenny 'backing up the default of course'
