You're welcome, people here have been helping me get setup also
The only thing that catches my eye is Code: | drivers/usb/input/aiptek.c: aiptek: error loading 'evdev' module | I don't know what hat module is, but it is producing and error. Code: | usbcore: registered new driver aiptek
drivers/usb/input/aiptek.c: v1.8 (Oct-28-2004): Bryan W. Headley/Chris Atenasio/Cédric Brun/René van Paassen
drivers/usb/input/aiptek.c: Aiptek HyperPen USB Tablet Driver (Linux 2.6.x | is showing the the kernel does have the aiptek driver running.
What is the "evdev" module? Could it be a typo?
I do see one thing in the xorg.conf Code: | Section "ServerLayout"

Evdev is obligatory for event interface (event0, event1, etc...).
It is needed either as a module or compiled in a kernel. |

Only other thing I know of is making sure you're in the directory the source code is in ... from there it will compile into /usr/local/bin. If you already did that, maybe asking in another forum will get you a working answer.
good luck. |

I got my tablet working, but I don't have the pressure sensitivity and absolute (which I want) is squirrely.
Honestly, I don't understand how to use the unified_packages which I downloaded from aiptek.sourceforge.net
I've unbzipped, untarred it, now what?
I tried using the aiptek-installer.pl script, but just got errors. I'm not sure how to install the gaiptek or any of those features. And what do you mean "compiles from CVS fine"? I went in that directory, and I've used cvs for a few programming projects, but I haven't found a clear guide on what to do. I'd be glad to start a short guide on gentoo-wiki, but as you can see, I'm not the best person for this. |

with xorg-7.0-r1 and xf86-input-aiptek-1.0.5 the pen is working in either absolute or relative mode but doesnt seem to report pressure or clicks correctly (pressure isnt recognized and the buttons stop the mouse from moving while they are pressed). also the gaiptek app from aiptektablet.sf.net (cvs!) compiles and runs though it says that there is no xserver input driver associated with my tablet (btw i have an aiptek 12000u) though the aiptek driver is loaded. havent tested the puck yet. fiddling now with the different xorg.conf options, i will report if i get further...

Hi
i'm on Xorg 7.0.0 with xf86-input-aiptek-1.0.5. I can move the pen on the screen, but it's actually fixed to "absolute" coordinate mode.
I tried to change in xorg configuration and with "echo relative > /sys/bus/blahblah/coordinate_mode" and "echo blah > /sys/blahblah/execute" but it doesn't change, it's always absolute mode :\
Any help appreciated
thanks! _________________ Libera scienza in libero stato.

Are there ebuild availabe for it ? When I try to compile the unified package I get lost of errors.
Currently I'm using the aiptek.c that comes with the kernel.
I added the 3 devices to xorg.conf, but they act strange. The cursor often jumps from one point to the other and when the tablet is unplugged at startup, X crashes. |

This i got if i plug my 8000U
Code: | Oct 3 23:30:40 localhost usb 2-5: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4
Oct 3 23:30:40 localhost usb 2-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Oct 3 23:30:40 localhost input: AIPTEK APT-USB-2 as /class/input/input4
Oct 3 23:30:40 localhost usbcore: registered new driver aiptek
Oct 3 23:30:40 localhost drivers/usb/input/aiptek.c: v1.5 (May-15-2004): Bryan W. Headley/Chris Atenasio
Oct 3 23:30:40 localhost drivers/usb/input/aiptek.c: Aiptek HyperPen USB Tablet Driver (Linux 2.6.x)
|
My 8000U acts much more strange becourse no LED indicates Power on
Perhaps this information helps to solve the problem
last Time i've seen it working the right way was under a Suse 8.1 Years ago
Then i changed to Mandrake until 2007 was Released
A lot of bugs and so on Send me the good Inspiration to change to Gentoo
Ok under Mandrake i started to solve the problem but no result
I figgled out (2 years ago) that
First booting a Suse 8.1 - while coldplug - the Power On LED starts to blink during Bootscript coldplug / Suse8.1
then a
shutdown -r now -> power Led is on
after rebooting some other System like Mandrake 10.1 ... the Pointer gives strange results
so i thought the problem is in the Initialisation itself
perhaps there is the way to solve _________________ Never give up

Good news: It seems like some work is going on over at http://aiptektablet.sourceforge.net, so there probably will be a new version which fixes this problem. Sometime in the future... |
