So I installed 11.3 KDE on my friend’s computer yesterday upon her request and as of now, I’ve set up everything except for her tablet, an older Wacom one. I actually compiled the driver, but the tablet is not being detected by suse. Any ideas?
pc specs:
intel 2.4ghz quad
radeon hd5770
11.3 kernel 2.6.34.7-0.5 64bit
Wacom Bamboo: MTE-450

You might take a look at the wacom Linux development/user mailing lists -
I don’t recall if this particular model is a serial or USB model, but if
it’s serial, there may be something you have to configure for the serial
port to make sure it’s working.
The lead developer is (or was, I’m not sure which) a developer at Wacom,
so if the driver supports it, Ping should be able to help get things
working - I’ve got an Intuos4 myself, and found those mailing lists to be
extremely helpful.

The model is a usb and suse just does not even detect it even after the driver was compiled. I’ll actually take a look at the mailing list though. The thing is the tablet is a discontinued model, would that affect this in any way? Maybe the driver being incompatible with the hardware?
Ok so I actually updated the kernel and then recompiled the driver a bit differently and it works. Apparently the vanilla kernel was missing part of the xorg support that the patched one had and my original compile missed the xorg as well. So my advise to people who install 11.3 is to run yast, hit up the online updates, let it patch and then compile the driver. I also found an easy way to compile it after I did the hard way… Wacom Tablet Script

That’s good news, thanks for posting an update.
