-
-!!2. Introduction
-
-
-This document is a guide to getting your Wacom Graphire USB tablet to working
-with Linux. Beware, this is a quite difficult task, but this guide will guide
-you, step-by-step, through the process.
-
-
-This work is mainly derived from the Wacom Tablet HOWTO by Stephan Runkel,
-but brings some precisions about all the USB configuration that is absent from
-the original document. If you want more precision about general Wacom Tablets,
-please read Stephan Runkel's HOWTO.
-
-
-I have written this document because I've had many difficulties in setting
-up my brand new Graphire tablet with Linux, but now it works quite well on
-my Toshiba 4030CDT Laptop.
-
-!!2.1 New versions of this document
-
-
-
-New version of this document will be made available at the following location

-
-!!2.2 Feedback and Corrections
-

-
-!!2.3 Acknowledgements
-
-
-
-I wish to thank everyone that work on the USB part of the kernel, and special
-thanks go to Vojtech Pavlik for his work on the wacom module.
-
-
-Of course, I thank Stephan Runkel for his great Wacom Tablet HOWTO that
-helped me much in the configuration process.
-
-
-Special thanks also go to Frederic Lepied for his work on the xf86Wacom
-module.
-
-!!2.4 Disclaimer
-
-
-
-The information in this document is correct to the best of my knowledge,
-but there's a always a chance I've made some mistakes, so don't follow everything
-too blindly, especially if it seems wrong. Nothing here should have a detrimental
-effect on your computer, but just in case I take no responsibility for any
-damages incurred from the use of the information contained herein.This document
-is not a kernel howto, so I'll take the assumption that you know how to download/install
-a new kernel, and how to configure/compile it.
-----
-
-!!3. Requirements
-
-!!3.1 Hardware
-
-
-
-The main part is, of course, a computer with at least one USB port and
-a Wacom Graphire USB tablet.
-
-!!3.2 Kernel
-
-
-
-I've used the latest development kernel for my installation : linux-2.3.99-pre6.
-It's quite stable and has all the necessary features. You can also find some
-downports, which are patches for old 2.2.x kernels. You can find all the infos
-on the backport at http://www.suse.cz/development/usb-backport
-
-!!3.3 Console Software
-
-
-
-For the Linux console, the only program you need is gpm, available at ftp://ftp.prosa.it/pub/gpm
-
-!!3.4 XWindow
-
-
-
-For having all the abilities of your tablet, you'll need to use XInput.
-More specifically you'll need the xf86Wacom.so module (that is shipped with
-the most recent versions of XFRee86 starting from 3.3.5). Alternately, you
-may need the xf86WacomUSB.so, which is a work-in-progress of adapting the original
-xf86Wacom.so to use the USB. I'll speak of it later in this document.
-
-!!3.5 Others
-
-
-
-The applications supporting XInput are :
-
-
-
-
-
-#The Gimp - a powerful image manipulation program in the style of Photoshop.
-The 1.1.x instable development version includes XInput support as a standard
-feature. You can obtain Gimp from http://www.gimp.org
-#
-
-#gsumi - a simple B/W drawing program that supports drawing / erasing with
-pressure and tilt sensitivity. Get it from the gsumi web page: http://www.gtk.org/~otaylor/gsumi/
-#
-
-#xink (By Ralph Levien) - another rudimentary drawing program for X. xink
-is available from: ftp://kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/raph/xink.tar.gz
-#
-
-#!RasMol - a molecular visualization program that supports a hardware dial
-box using XInput. look at http://www.umass.edu/microbio/rasmol/distrib/rasman.htm
-.
-#
-
-#xinput (by Frederic Lepied) - a very useful utility for configuring and
-testing XInput devices. xinput is available from: ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/utilities/xinput-1.2.tar.gz

-
-!!4. Kernel and hard stuff
-
-!!4.1 Kernel configuration
-
-
-
-Like I said earlier, the options I'll give come from the 2.3.99pre6 kernel.
-If everything is not exactly the same, I think that taking a good guess should
-help ;)
-
-
-__** Reminder : [
[] stands for Yes/No options, and <> stands
-for Yes/No/Module **__
-
-
-First of all, you have to enable the experimental code :
-
-
-__Code Maturity level options --->__
-
-
-__[[*] Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers__
-
-
-If you don't, you won't have access to some of the drivers.
-
-
-Then, move on to the USB section.
-
-
-__USB support --->__
-
-
-__<*> Support for USB__
-
-
-__[[*] USB verbose debug messages__
-
-
-__--- Miscellaneous USB options__
-
-
-__[[*] Preliminary USB device filesystem__
-
-
-With this option, you'll activate the new features of the /dev/usb/* (which,
-of course, you'll have to create : to be seen later)
-
-
-__--- USB controllers__
-
-
-__<*> UHCI (Intel PIIX4, VIA, ...) support__
-
-
-__< > OHCI (Compaq, iMacs, OPTi, SiS, ALi, ...) support__
-
-
-You must choose one of these, and only one. So, if one doesn't work, then
-choose the other. Chances are that, if you use an x86 system, you'll take the
-UHCI driver.
-
-
-__--- USB Devices__
-
-
-__< > USB Printer support__
-
-
-__< > USB Scanner support__
-
-
-__< > USB Audio support__
-
-
-__< > USB Modem (CDC ACM) support__
-
-
-If you have one of these, feel free to activate the options
-
-
-__<M> USB Serial Converter support__
-
-
-This options must be activated for the Wacom tablet to work.
-
-
-__[[*] USB Generic Serial Driver__
-
-
-__[[ ] USB Handspring Visor Driver__
-
-
-__[[ ] USB !ConnectTech WhiteHEAT Serial Driver (EXPERIMENTAL)__

-
-__(768) Vertical screen resolution__
-
-
-__<M > Joystick support__
-
-
-__<M> Event interface support__
-
-!!4.2 Kernel compilation
-
-
-
-Now the easy stuff :
-
-
-When you exit the configuration do as they say
-
-
-__make dep bzImage modules modules_install__
-
-
-Type it just like this and the computer will run all the steps one after
-the other.
-
-
-Then copy the file bzImage to /boot, copy the System.map to /boot, edit
-your lilo.conf to point to your new kernel and type __/sbin/lilo__ at the prompt.
-
-
-__** Of course all of this (kernel config, kernel compilation and lilo tweaking
-must be done as root) **__
-
-!!4.3 Before rebooting
-
-
-!FStab
-
-
-If you want to avoid error messages at the next reboot, you'll have to
-do the following :
-
-
-Edit the file /etc/fstab and add the following lines
-
-
-__none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 __
-
-
-This one is to activate the usb device filesystem
-
-
-__none /var/shm shm defaults 0 __
-
-
-This one is because of a change in the shared memory stuff in the kernel.
-
-!USB related devices
-
-
-Next, if you want to be able to use the USB :
-
-
-__mkdir /dev/input__
-
-
-__mknod /dev/input/mouse0 c 13 32__
-
-
-This will activate the mouse support
-
-
-__mknod /dev/input/event0 c 13 64__
-
-
-__mknod /dev/input/event1 c 13 65__
-
-
-__mknod /dev/input/event2 c 13 66__
-
-
-__mknod /dev/input/event3 c 13 67__
-
-
-These will activate the stylus : moves, pressure, button and eraser.
-
-!Modules configuration
-
-
-Edit the file /etc/modules.conf and add the following line :
-
-
-__alias char-major-13 usbcore__
-
-!What I did next
-
-
-Next I added in the /etc/rc.d/boot.local file (remember, I use a SuSE distribution,
-but you should fine an equivalent for !RedHat in /etc/rc.d/init.d/boot.local
-or /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.local)
-
-
-__/sbin/modprobe wacom__
-
-
-__/sbin/modprobe mousedev__
-
-
-__/sbin/modprobe evdev__
-
-
-Just to be sure the modules will load at boot time.
-
-!Last but not least
-
-
-Reboot ;)
-
-
-Check your boot messages (__dmesg | less__), and see if there are no errors
-related to USB. It may be because you've chosen UHCI and your system is an
-OHCI one.
-
-
-On my system, the following messages are shown :
-

-
-When the kernel says "__This device is not recognized by any installed USB
-driver__", it's because, at boot time, the wacom module is not yet loaded. But
-as you can see, the whole USB bus and interfaces are recognized. So if your
-system doesn't work and doesn't have such messages, try to check if you haven't
-forgotten an USB option (something I indicated to be put in the kernel and
-that you put as a module : if it's the case, in the __/etc/rc.d/init.d/boot.local__,
-put the necessary modprobe __BEFORE__ the 3 lines I indicated, for example __/sbin/modprobe
-usb-uhci__).
-
-
-When the wacom module loads,
here are the messages :
-
-
-__..... __
-
-
-__..... __
-
-
-__usb.c: registered new driver wacom __
-
-
-__input0: Wacom Graphire on usb2 __
-
-
-__usb.c: wacom driver claimed interface c3fcd620 __
-
-
-__mouse0: PS/2 mouse device for input0 __
-
-
-__mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice __
-
-
-__event0: Event device for input0 __
-
-
-__..... __
-
-
-__.....__
-
-
-Retry and check everything until you get all these messages (or corresponding
-ones).
-----
-
-!!5. The Linux console
-
-
-Now that you have your USB activated, it's just about time to try it all
-with gpm :
-
-
-If gpm is activated at boot time, you'll have to kill it : __gpm -k__
-
-
-Then try your Wacom tablet : __gpm -tIMPS/2 -m /dev/input/mouse0__
-
-
-Move your stylus, or your mouse, and TADA ... the cursor moves on the screen.
-----
-
-!!6. XWindow
-
-!!6.1 Having 2 mouses on the same system
-
-
-
-Have you ever dreamed of having 2 mouses on your system ? If the answer
-is yes, do the following.
-
-
-Edit the file __/etc/XF86Config__
-
-
-The modules section should look like this
-
-
-__Section "Module"__
-
-
-__Load "xf86Wacom.so"__
-
-
-__!EndSection__
-
-
-Then check the XInput section :
-
-
-__Section "XInput"__
-
-
-__!SubSection "Mouse"__
-
-
-__!DeviceName "!WacomTablet"__ --> or whatever you like
-
-
-__Protocol "IMPS/2"__ --> I didn't manage to have imwheel recognize the wheel,
-but if you do, drop me an email
-
-
-__Port "/dev/input/mouse0"__
-
-
-__Buttons 5__
-
-
-__ZAxisMapping 4 5__
-
-
-__!AlwaysCore__ --> means that the Wacom mouse is always considered as the
-core pointer, ie if you move your normal mouse or the Wacom mouse (or stylus),
-it'll be just the same.
-
-
-__!EndSubSection__
-
-
-__!EndSection__
-
-
-And there you are, the Wacom mouse (or stylus) is now considered as a second
-mouse, but your normal one still works.
-
-!!6.2 Now on to the real stuff
-
-
-
-Back to the XInput section, after the parameters for the mouse, here is
-the real Wacom stuff :
-
-
-__!SubSection "!WacomStylus"__
-
-
-__Port "/dev/input/event0"__ --> the USB event device
-
-
-__!DeviceName "!WacomStylus"__ --> or whatever you want to call it
-
-
-__Mode Absolute__ --> ie the tablet surface is equivalent to the screen
-surface
-
-
-__#Suppress 6__
-
-
-__!DebugLevel 10__ --> once everything works, set it to
-
-
-__#!TiltMode__
-
-
-__#!HistorySize 200__
-
-
-__#!AlwaysCore__
-
-
-__#!KeepShape__
-
-
-__#TopX 20412__ --> the 4 lines are used to fine-tune the coordinate
-to fit with the screen
-
-
-__#TopY 14730__
-
-
-__#BottomX __
-
-
-__#BottomY __
-
-
-__!EndSubSection__
-
-
-__!SubSection "!WacomEraser"__
-
-
-__!DeviceName "/dev/input/event0"__
-
-
-__!DeviceName "!WacomEraser"__
-
-
-__Mode Absolute__
-
-
-__!EndSubSection__
-
-
-__!SubSection "!WacomCursor"__
-
-
-__Port "/dev/input/event0"__
-
-
-__!DeviceName "!GraphireMouse"__
-
-
-__Mode Absolute__
-
-
-__!EndSubSection__
-
-!!6.3 The new module
-
-
-
-The xf86Wacom.so is not specifically written for the USB tablets, and it's
-even not working correctly with these tablets. A new driver has been written
-by Matsumura Namihiko <po-jp@geocities.co.jp> has written one named xf86WacomUSB
-(available as source code at the same location than this Mini-HOWTO). However,
-to be able to compile it, you'll need the kernel source code and the source
-tree for XFree86 (I compiled it with success against XFree86 3.3.5, but it
-should compile with 3.3.6).
-
-
-This driver doesn't handle all the possibilities of the tablet, and crashes
-if you pass it the __!AlwaysCore__ parameter.
-
-
-To correct this, I'll keep in touch with Frederic Lepied for a modification
-of the original module to have it handle all of the possibilities of the tablet.
-
-
-__**NEWS** At Frederic Lepied's site, you'll find a link to a new USB driver
-that works perfectly well, but exclusively with the possibility to have your
-tablet working as a mouse : ie either you use your tablet in The Gimp to draw,
-or you use it as an XFree mouse, but not both together. I'll investigate further,
-and update this document accordingly.__
