Bug#420531: xserver-xorg-acecad: acecad driver does not recognize USB tablet
Package: xserver-xorg-input-acecad
Version: 1:1.1.0-1
Severity: important
I have a Media@com-branded Acecad USB tablet. This is properly detected
and configured by the kernel, but not by the X.org driver.
The relevant xorg.conf section is
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "ACECAD Tablet"
Driver "acecad"
Option "Device" "auto-dev"
Option "ReportSpeed" "120"
Option "Mode" "absolute"
EndSection
According to the author's webpage @ http://acecad.sourceforge.net/install.html
this should be enough to let the driver auto-configure the USB model.
However, this is not the case, as Xorg reports:
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device auto-dev
No such file or directory.
(EE) AceCad driver unable to open device
Trying to set the Device explicitly, either to the appropriate
/dev/input/event* or /dev/input/mouse* or /dev/usbdev* device fails
likewise.
This effectively makes the USB tablet unusable as such.
