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!

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.

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... :wink:
