Wacom Bamboo

[starjou]

if u can't make ur configure option --enable-wacom to be yes, try this:

(described in /usr/include/linux/version.h)

cd /usr/src/linux"
make mrproper"
make cloneconfig"
make prepare"

of course u have to install kerner-source, I did that via YaST.

if u got a lot of strange error when make, see if package 'xorg-x11-server-sdk' installed or not? (via YaST too)

if u got error about missing modpost script when make, do this (need to be root):

cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.xx-x.x
make scripts

I did these following steps too , but dunno if it's really necessary

make oldconfig (under /usr/src/linux)

installed package: kernel-syms

after I did these, I can compile wacom.o/wacom.ko successly.

then following The Linux Wacom Project copied wacom.ko, found out the event num via wacdump, modified my xorg.conf ...

those hid.o evdev.o blah blah all are not enabled in my configure, seems no effect.

now bamboo works for my X, and in GIMP u need to setup extended input device in GIMP's preference dialog. I make erase, style, pad all to screen mode.

now it works well for me.

my kerner version is 2.6.22.18-0.2, updated via YaST.

linuxwacom driver version is 0.8.0-3

wish that help.
