: Hi, I changed gpm.conf for one psaux mouse and a tablet on ttyS0:
: device=/dev/psaux
: responsiveness=
: type=ps2
: append="-l \"a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377\" -M -m
: /dev/ttyS0 -l \"a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377\""
: (that should be all in one line). On console mode, the mouse worked,
: but not the pen (but since I want it for X and the Gimp, it doesn't
: really matter). On X neither the pen nor the mouse would work!
try adding "-t wacom" to your append line somewhere after the "-M"
then for X add (See "man gpm" & the -M -R options):
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/gpmdata"
BaudRate 1200
Resolution 100
EndSection
: I added the following line to /etc/X11/XF86Config (according to
: Wacom-Tablet-Howto):
: Section "Xinput"
: SubSection "WacomStylus"
: DeviceName "lapiz"
: Port "/dev/ttyS0"
: Baudrate 9600
: Mode Absolute
: AlwaysCore
: HistorySize 200
: EndSubSection
: EndSection
: But when rebooting, xdm refused to start X and 'startx' gave me this
: error:
: Config Error: /etc/X11/XF86Config:65
: SubSection "WacomStylus"
: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: Invalid SubSection name
: The tablet is not a Wacom (it's a Conceptronic), and I'm running XFree
: 3.3.2.3a-11 and gpm 1.14-3 ...
: Now, what's that module xf86Wacom.so? can I use it with a non Wacom
: tablet? Where do I get it and how do I install/load it?
: TIA
