 Posted: Tue Apr 20, 2004 5:39 pm Post subject: X and my Wacom Graphire 3 |
 |
|
I bought myself a Graphire 3 from Wacom. Took me some time to set it up and I'm still not completly satisfied. I got it to work in X, I can use it to draw in GIMP (even pressure sensivity works) but X seems to have problems with the input. For instance, when I switch from the pen to the eraser X doesn't accept any (mouse)clicks. This can be solved by moving the cursor across the screen for some time and tab a few times on the tablet. Although sometimes this doesn't work and X keeps frozen (well, it's not really frozen, but doesn't accept any clicking input).
This behaviour occures expecially after a boot. When I use the pen in GIMP for say 10 - 15 minuts this behaviour seems to occure less and X seems to respond faster then in the beginning.
I briefly tried the tablet under windows and it does seem to work fine. So I think it's X related. Anyone seen this behaviour before?
I'm using the Xorg X11 release and used the linuxwacom drivers (0.6.2, latest) to compile a new kernel and X module. When using the supplied linuxwacom apps to test the raw input on the CLI it responses fast and precise, just like it's supposted to.
I'm sorry if all these logs are a bit overwhelming, but I just want to post the complete information.

|
|
Hi!
I'm using the graphire 3 tablet with a 2.6.4 kernel and Xorg's version of
X, ver 6.7 and KDE 3.2.2 on a iBook G4.
I have also noticed some strangeness in behaviour sometimes.
Occasionally X freezes for maybe 20 seconds then comes back to life again.
Also, under KDE when I drag an icon on the desktop or inside konqueror the X server crashes and restarts. Dragging windows around the screen seems to work.
I followed the install instructions, building the kernel modules and the wacom_drv module.
I also tried using the wacom driver that comes with the kernel and copying only the wacom_drv over to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/ but I still get the strange behaviour mentioned above.
I have made a bug report to the linuxwacom website. |

I believe the relevant lines relating to your problem are the following -
dmesg output
| Code: | | Apr 20 17:52:15 callisto hid: probe of 1-2:1.0 failed with error -5 |
X input errors
| Code: | Apr 20 19:12:20 callisto drivers/usb/input/hid-input.c: event field not found
Apr 20 19:12:20 callisto drivers/usb/input/hid-input.c: event field not found

Something is obviously not working between the usb-hid module and the wacom unit, or the linuxwacom driver. There may be issues of conflict if you have too many USB modules in your kernel ?
Have you tried disabling various USB kernel modules to try and fix this issue ? |

Changing my mouse from "/dev/input/mice" to /dev/input/mouse#" (replacing # with whatever number your mouse is one) appears to have fixed this for me. The Linux Wacom Howto mentions this but I just ignored it because I'm way too smart to follow the directions  |

Oh, and I added:
Option "SendCoreEvents"
To each of the tablets Sections which might also be what fixed it. |
