Howdy.
Does anybody know how to use this tablet under Gentoo Linux?
I've plugged in the tablet but the LED indicator on the tablet doesn't flash :/

sasq,
Theres probably a driver somewhere.
Please post the Vendor and Device IDs. You will find them in /proc/bus/usb/devices.
Use usbview if you cannot work out the format.

I haven't anything under /proc/bus/usb 
I've loaded the following modules: usbcore, usbhid, uhci_hcd, ohci_hcd, ehci_hcd.
usbview reports "Cannot open /proc/bus/usb/devices".

sasq,
You probably have usbfs missing then. Wha does | Code: | | grep DEVICEFS /usr/src/linux/.config |
return?
The right answer is CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y. Fix it and rebuild your kernel if its wrong.
Many drivers depend on it. Do you have any working USB devices at all ?

Yup, I have CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y in my kernel. I've tried to connect USB Scaner for a test [EPSON Perfection 1260, I would it to work too, but it may wait]. Nothing was changed in /proc/bus/usb [still big nothing there], and none messages in dmesg or /var/log/messages. I've started up the Coldplug also, hoped it help, but still nothing :/

sasq,
It sounds like you need to mount usbfs somewhere but it should be automatic.
Now that there is no kernel module usbscanner, usblib (libusb ?) depends on finding your scanner in /proc/bus/usb/devices, so you have to fix it.
Please post your lspci output

sasq,
You have a SiS USB chipset. It only provides USB 1.0 and 1.1.
You should not load the ehci-hcd module as its the USB 2.0 driver. More inportantly, you must not load the uhci-hcd modulle as its only for Intel and Via chipsets. If you load both ohci-hcd and uhci-hcd, neither works properly.
Removing the wrong one after is been loaded does not fix the problem.
It looks like your /proc/bus/usb/devices would exist if the above were fixed.
Last daft question - your USB is enabled in the BIOS, isn't it ?

Thanx for very valuable information!  I didn't know that.
I've rebooted and modprobed only the ohci-hcd module and here is a few last lines from my dmesg:

You're right! Now under /proc/bus/usb there are some directories And here's my output in usbview:

Hmm... Aiptek?  That good old chip?  I've seen some posts here about configuring that crap :J
Maybe we're in a good way, because lsmod shows that the correct modules have been loaded already:

I think now it will be easy  but the diode in tablet still doesn't blink, huh....

Yes, it is. Under Windows this tablet works extremely fine

sasq,
Having got your USB working and seen the Vendor and Device ISs for the tablet, its clear from google that you have the right kernel module loaded (aiptek).
Since a tablet is a pointer, you should expect to see tablet events (and device files) in /dev/input as a new mouse or posibly as /dev/input/eventX (or both) if you want the raw events. Do entries appear and disappear if you connect and disconnect the tablet?
The event interface needs Device Drivers -> Input device support -> Event interface available to your kernel.
If the device files exist, then the tablet works. It may be that the driver does not turn the LED on.

Tablet unplugged:
| Code: | $ ls /dev/input
event0 event2 js0 js2 mice mouse2
event1 event3 js1 js3 mouse0 mouse3 |
Tablet plugged in:
| Code: | $ ls /dev/input
event0 event2 js0 js2 mice mouse1 mouse3
event1 event3 js1 js3 mouse0 mouse2
|
So it's probably that mouse1, but cat /dev/input/mouse1 doesn't produce any "output" when I move the stylus over the tablet area, so I'm not sure. Maybe I need to configure X to use this tablet now? 
| NeddySeagoon wrote: | | The event interface needs Device Drivers -> Input device support -> Event interface available to your kernel. |
Maybe it's the reason that aiptek module complains:
| Code: | | drivers/usb/input/aiptek.c: aiptek: error loading 'evdev' module |
when I replug the tablet back [I've seen that line in dmesg].

Well spotted. The tablet needs the evdev interface.

I've rebooted and let Coldplug to load correct modules. The tablet was plugged out then. Here's what have Coldplug loaded:

Strange, but Coldplug loaded also modules for UHCI and EHCI I've checked if there was content in /proc/bus/usb and there was, so everything looks OK. Maybe Coldplug loaded OHCI first [before UHCI and EHCI], so it wokrs now. There is also a evdev module. The listing of /dev/input directory is:
| Code: | $ ls /dev/input
event0 event1 event3 js0 js1 js2 js3 mice mouse0 mouse2 mouse3 |
dmesg:
| Code: | ohci_hcd: 2004 Nov 08 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver (PCI)

NOW I'm plugging-in the tablet.
Quick look for a changes in dmesg:
| Code: | usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2

Looks like aiptek module uses event2 device. Let's check:
| Code: | $ ls /dev/input/
event0 event1 event2 event3 js0 js1 js2 js3 mice mouse0 mouse1 mouse2 mouse3 |
Yes. Devices event2 and mouse1 shows up. The evdev module has been loaded already. So far, so good . But the tablet still doesn't work What now?

sasq,
When you run lsmod, the modules are listed in reverse load order - the first loaded is at the bottom of the list, the mosr recent at the top.
The mouse and event interfaces are character device special files, so you can cat them, and play with the tablet. You should get jibberish as you interact with the device. Practice with your mouse..
Press ctrl-c to terminate the cat command and type reset into the xterm or console to sort out the mess.
You may well get control characters. If that works the kernel is OK. Its making your tablet events available to anything that wants to use them.
The next bit is setting up X, or some other application to use these new events. You may want to start another thread on that. I don't have a tablet to practice with. Explain that you get your kernel events and want to set up X to use them.

etc. bla bla bla...
But where are those fsckin events??
Everything appears to work OK, but events are in the hell with Bill Gates
I'm pretty sure that this is the event2 device, because when I set up other event*'s, the X-server doesn't start and complains about bad device.
I've searched the forum for aiptek threads, but noone knows what's happenning. Some people write that it works without problems, the other didn't set up this until now :/

I have new informations, which may help to make this tablet working.
I've tried to run it on a PC with Aurox Linux and Windows XP, and the tablet seems to work - the LED was blinking.
But strange is that not every time! Only if I booted to Windows first, and then reboot to Linux! 
So I suspect that this tablet requires some kind of initialization or firmware upload to work properly. Windows does this and the diode is blinking and tablet works, even after rebooting to Linux. But when I disconnect the tablet and connect again under Linux, it doesn't work any longer.
Maybe with this info anyone knows how to set this up under Linux?
It's very important to me, because I use this tablet very often and I have to switch to Windows every time when I want to use the tablet It's the last thing which binds me to Windows

sasq,
Linux can do firmware loading, many Wireless NICs need it,
Is there a site with a Windows driver on it?
The firmware will be a file in the driver, possibly a *.bin file

Yes, the drivers for Windows OSes are on the net [ http://www.trust.com/ ]. But I have also that Windows drivers on installation CD I'll check this out if there are any *.bin files or so....
--EDIT:
Nope
There are only some *.cab files, recognized by cabextract as an Microsoft Install Shield files, some *.ini files and setup.exe

I must have missed this when I was googling for your USB info (08ca 0021). Ii's an AIPTEK APT-2 Tablet
which has a FAQ here http://www.aiptek.com.tw/english/service/faq_tablet.htm which points you to http://aiptektablet.sourceforge.net/ which in turn should work with your tablet.
Goole has a cached page pointing at the same driver which claims that your tablet is fully supported..
Its unlikely that there is an ebuild though.

I own the 400 version of this Trust c*ap. Kernel and X both have drivers for it called aiptek. Kernel driver can be selected in menuconfig under Device Drivers in USB section. And The X diver I think was even inluded with X but I cant swear on it. It fully works on X provided you dont expect to hot plug it or any of your input devices since you cant use /dev/mice or it wont work in absolute mode...
Oh and I recomend you create a UDEV rule for this, so it does not show up at drifferent event all of a sudden. I have.
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
| Code: | BUS="usb" DRIVER=="[!a]?*" KERNEL="mouse*" SYMLINK="input/usbmouse%n"
BUS="usb" DRIVER=="aiptek" KERNEL="event*" SYMLINK="input/aiptek_event" OWNER="root" MODE="0666"
BUS="usb" DRIVER=="aiptek" KERNEL="mouse*" SYMLINK="input/aiptek_mouse" OWNER="root" MODE="0666"
|
The last two concern the tablet, one its event the other its mouse node.
EDIT: it seems X is happily in place
It seems you dont have the kernel driver in place. |
