Wacom Intuos 3 install

[Selage]

lsusb lists my Wacom:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 056a:00b2 Wacom Co., Ltd
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 045e:00f9 Microsoft Corp.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 13b1:0026 Linksys
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Chmod errors...

chmod: can not get access to '/proc/bus/usb/002/003': file or directory does not exist

will try Gimp in root

[Selage]

In root, Gimp has access to the Tablet, but functions as pressure does not work...

sorry: either /proc/bus or /dev/bus may be used, depending on system:

I pasted the wrong command from sane for SUSE ...

it should have read

chmod a+rw /dev/bus/usb/00?/00?

so go

# lsusb

to check the device bus numbers

and then issue the above command

chmod a+rw /dev/bus/usb/00?/00?

so where you quote before

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 056a:00b2 Wacom Co., Ltd

this should surely then become

chmod a+rw /dev/bus/usb/002/003

let us know how you get along

Hi
As another thought, I sometimes have a touchscreen connected, the setup
for this uses the event* rather than a defined event. Maybe you could
try this as well?

could you detail a howto Malcolm? I was quoting the earlier possibility as it comes from scanner suggestions; we are still trying to get the permissions changed for our CanoScan scanner! I have tried to edit the plustek file, and udev permissions, but without success so far; another project to return to; our scanner runs as user after the #chmod command is issued for that login

Hi
In the xorg file, you should have an entry;

Option "Device" "/dev/input/event(n)"

Which "(n)" is determined by

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

In the case of my touchscreen as I only have one, it changes to;

Option "Device" "event*"
or
Option "Device" "events"

I use event* so if it changes, it will select the correct one.

I havent tried anything because the "lsusb" has changed completely

Now lsusb reads :

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 13b1:0026 Linksys 
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 056a:00b2 Wacom Co., Ltd 
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 045e:00f9 Microsoft Corp. 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

How do we stabilize this?

This does not work?!?

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

"File or directory does not exist"

Could something be seriously be wrong with my install?

[pdc_2]

I doubt there is anything seriously wrong with your install;

if we try to recap;

in post #13, you summarised

Install of prebuild was succesfull.

Made the changes in Xorg.conf

Restarted ( no crash) all seems to work fine...

Only gimp wont recognize the wacom.
File - Preferences - input devices

Available Controllers

"Linux Input"

And if i hit Configure Input Controller,; set the device to Wacom Intuos 9x12

Gimp says " Device not available: Acces denied..


Whats that about?

it was suggested that the problem was a permissions issue:

I suggested a workaround from the sane scanner group:

firstly, ... as root in a terminal you go:

# lsusb

and identify the Bus and Device number of the Wacom;
and I think it is a virtue of the USB setup that it may well be DIFFERENT each time you log in; to allow plugin and plugout of devices ..

having identified the above you go:

# chmod a+rw /dev/bus/usb/00?/00?

for example, where below you say Wacom is Bus 001 Device 003:

you would go: "chmod a+rw /dev/bus/usb/001/003"

Now this is really intended as a diagnostic: if you then open GIMP and see if you can then configure the device;file/preferences/input devices as you mention in #post 13;

so this is trying to be diagnostic; when you say

Gimp says " Device not available: Acces denied..

by changing permissions for the device for this one login, we are trying to see if we can get you access;

if it works, then a long-term solution;

is 1) do the above each time or
2) follow the path malcolmlewis describes in #post 26;

however he mentions /proc/bus/usb/devices and I understood Suse did not have such; we must get him to clarify for us: I understood Suse used /dev/bus/usb/devices

so Selage is the above any help? Let us know how you fare ...

Hi
Ahh it's cat /proc/bus/input/devices although /proc/bus/usb/devices
also exists on my opensuse installs?

Here is my output from the touchscreen.

I've did as you told me, but gimp still does not have access to the device.

Must we run Gimp as Root user, to bypass this?

I dont think its the user that doesn't have access, more Gimp itself. or is that a misunderstanding?

Mustn't i make the wacom's input(event3) named as wacom it self? instead of event3, wacom?

Cant this make the device switching to stabilize? and make gimp to listen to it? and even activate the pressure sensitive?
