hello everyone, i have broken(softwarewise) my wacom screen on x200t and it doesn't work
lsmod doesn't show wacom or wacom_w8001 yet
/dev/ttyS0 exists and
Code:
cat /dev/ttyS0
prints output pseudocode if i move digitizer to screen
also xorg shows this error both under root and regular user
Code:

[   104.630] (EE) systemd-logind: failed to take device /dev/ttyS0: No such device
[   104.630] (**) Serial Wacom Tablet WACf008: always reports core events
[   104.630] (**) Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
[   104.630] (**) Option "StopBits" "1"
[   104.630] (**) Option "DataBits" "8"
[   104.630] (**) Option "Parity" "None"
[   104.630] (**) Option "Vmin" "1"
[   104.631] (**) Option "Vtime" "10"
[   104.631] (**) Option "FlowControl" "Xoff"
[   104.631] (EE) wacom: Serial Wacom Tablet WACf008: usbDetect: can not ioctl version
[   104.631] (EE) wacom: Serial Wacom Tablet WACf008: cannot identify device class.
[   104.631] (EE) PreInit returned 8 for "Serial Wacom Tablet WACf008"

i have INPUT_DEVICES="wacom libinput" in make.conf
lsusb and lspci both do not show any wacom-related output, all(i think) relevant kernel configs enabled and im completely lost :cry:

Hi do you see something like
Code:

CONFIG_TABLET_SERIAL_WACOM4=m
CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_WACOM_W8001=m
CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_WACOM_I2C=m
CONFIG_HID_WACOM=m


in your .config?
Do you see your touchscreen by
Code:

udevadm info --export-db | grep -i touchscreen

?

Thanks for the reply, and yes, all wacom drivers compiled modules, is that the problem?
Code:

CONFIG_TABLET_SERIAL_WACOM4=m
CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_WACOM_W8001=m
CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_WACOM_I2C=m
CONFIG_HID_WACOM=m

there is no output of this command though

so even udev can't see it

Plz see also
Code:

You should also create Xorg config file so that Xorg knows which driver should be used for the tablet. Example:

FILE /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/42-libinput.conf
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Tablet"
        Driver "wacom"
        MatchIsTablet "on"
EndSection

and plz look the dmesg also for hints.

sure i forgot to post the actual solution :oops: i'll do that a little later
for now a little rough draft from what i recall from memory: apparently you dont need to set up any custom driver setup, non-multitocuch regular /dev/ttyS0 serial console works with inputattach sourced from games-util/joystick atom, so i reverced all cutom patches and non-working configs fwom wacom, uninstalled libwacom, and linuxwacom, and just reemerged games-util/joystick, and added (i think it was) inputattach --noinit --daemon --w8001 /dev/ttyS0 to my xinitrc

PS i dont quite rememeber all the specifics, i'll elaborate, a little later, when i get access to x200T machine

as of kernel 6.1.10 i have
Code:
CONFIG_TABLET_SERIAL_WACOM=M
CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_WACOM_W8001=m

both dev-libs/libwacom x11-drivers/xf86-input-wacom are uninstalled, inputattach is sourced from games-util/joystick
make.confs' INPUT_DEVICES="libinput"
as i dont use a dm, i added
Code:
inputattach --daemon --noinit --w8001 /dev/ttyS0 &

to .xinitrc

that is all i think !

Just an update: I used what you recommended and now I have no errors in my xorg log! but xorg still fails to start for some reason so I'll trouble shoot that and post what happens with that sometime a week from now.

Probably not the source of the problem but is your VIDEO_CARDS also set to "intel"?
