Wacom Bamboo tablet opensuse 11.4

English Hardware
#1

I got all excited when I read that there was improved wacom support in the release notes… So I ran out and bought a wacom bamboo CTH-460. Needless to say it doesn’t seem to work.>:(


dmesg

xsetwacom --list

gives no output

I can modprobe wacom but that doesn’t seem to do anything.

Has anyone had any luck with these devices with the new improved wacom support?

Does anyone know anything about the file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf

Well, I have some good news. My 11.4 tests (32-bit and 64-bit) have
allowed my friend’s basic Bamboo (the $69 one) to work out of the box
without any work at all, and today I tested a Bamboo Craft and the basic
functionality (at least, as that was all I tested, not the buttons) worked
perfectly as well. Not sure why it’s not working for you but what
definitely did NOT work in 11.3 is now perfect in 11.4.

Good luck.

I have a wacom CTL 460. It works partially in OpenSuse 11.4. It is recognised immediately by openSuse11.4 and it moves the mouse pointer on the screen. But, the pressure detection is not working at all; I tested it with GIMP and Krita and there is not pressure detection.

In opensuse 11.3 I used the instructions here: openSUSE Lizards and my tablet was working.
Somebody has any idea?

#4

My Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet CTH-461 does not work under openSUSE 11.4. Not any reaction in Gimp. And openSUSE does not provide mypaint.
This tablet works fine with UBUNTU 11.4 and Fedora 15 using the mypaint and gimp program.

I see in the openSUSE ’ home projects’ Wacom drivers of Peng Cheng and the mypaint program of Malcom Lewis.
Because openSUSE does offer this software in the regular repositories I don’t know what to do.
Can some one help me.

#5

Hi
I just haven’t pushed mypaint out to one of the Contrib repositories,
it works fine for me (and I’m guessing others…no bug reports).

Is the wacom module loaded? Can you provide the PCI ID’s of the device?

Thanks Malcolm.

lsusb gives
Bus 008 Device 003: ID 056a:00d7 Wacom Co., Ltd
Or do you need more info?

I don’t know where I can get the wacom module.
My kernel is
Linux linux-uxhf 2.6.37.6-0.7-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-07-21 02:17:24 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Sourceforge says for this kernel: Please update through your distribution
But I don’t know where this module is available for openSUSE 11.4

As far as I can see the mypaint program is not yet available in contrib (also not yet in factory) or should I download one of your versions?
Please give the version.

#7

Hi
Yes, download the version from my home repository.

Is the wacom module loaded?


lsmod |grep wacom

You could try installing the module for the running kernel (as root user);


modprobe wacom

But it looks like you 00d7 isn’t supported by the 2.6.37 kernel. If possible can you try a live cd of the next release? Else look at upgrading the kernel, one of the users jdmcdaniel3 has a script S.A.K.E to update the kernel…

#8

I checked jdmcdaniel3 and found the S.A.K.C script but I am not sure in handling this, so I hope and await for the new openSUSE.

Your mypaint installed easily, thanks for that but sadly I have to wait for my WACOM tablet working an other time…

(in the mean time I will study some more at the daniel3 script. If this helps I let you know.)

There is a newer version of the Bamboo that I saw some posts on the wacom-
devel mailing list about earlier today - though the information had to do
with touch specifically.

What is the model number on your tablet? (It would be something like
CTH-661SE-NL perhaps)

I upgraded from 11.3 to 11.4 - kernel 2.6.37.6-0.7-desktop x86_64 - and use Wacom Bamboo CTH-661/s. The tablet appears to be working okay. The upgrade uninstalled the Wacom specific drivers (that only took me 3 months to get working).

Right now my problem is more basic - the mouse & tablet work for a while then either the right or left button stops working. It may or may not start working after several minutes.

#11

My modelnumber is:CTH-461/S(A)

I followed Malcom’s advice to upgrade to the newest stable kernel via the S.A.K.C. script for linux-3.0.4
Than did a modprobe wacom
dmesg gives now:

Using mypaint and the Bamboo plugged in, nothing works.
Gimp sees the wrong tablet type (as in de dmesg) and also there nothing works.

Do I have to wait for a new openSUSE or are there other solutions?

Why does it work under Fedora 15 and Ubuntu 11.4?

I would be inclined to compare the versions of the modules on openSUSE
against those where it’s known to work, as well as various configuration
files.

I don’t have one of these Bamboo tablets myself - but I do have an
Intuos4 and it works flawlessly (except that I can’t program the OLED
images - which is minor for me).

Jim,

I will check with F15 and Ubuntu 11.4 and come back later.

I’ m back to openSUSE with the 2.6.37.6 kernel
So it is not so easy to check F15 and Ubuntu 11.4 again
But perhaps this helps in a way.

#15

After modprobe wacom, lsmod | grep wacom, gives wacom 32473 0
I used jdmcdaniel3 S.A.K.C to opgrade to the newest kernel but still no working Bamboo CTH-461.
Using the live CD of the next release did not help.

Do you have a suggestion to what kernel I should upgrade?
(I already gave some info about F15 and Ubuntu 11.4 config files etc but what can I do?)

Hi
So what is the output from;

Hi
So your not booting into a kernel > .37, I was under the impression you
used the script to update your kernel?

I would be inclined to compare the versions of the modules on openSUSE
against those where it's known to work, as well as various configuration
files.

I don't have one of these Bamboo tablets myself - but I do have an
Intuos4 and it works flawlessly (except that I can't program the OLED
images - which is minor for me).

Jim,

I will check with F15 and Ubuntu 11.4 and come back later.

====

See my answer to that.

====

After doing new installations to F15 and Ubuntu 11.4 (not using VirtualBox) I did a new installation for openSUSE 11.4 and thus came back in the original kernel and stayed there because the newer kernel did not solved my Wacom problem.

I will upgrade again to the newest stable kernel using the S.A.K.C script and come back to day.

www.kernel.org still attacked and unreachable same for git/linux for kernelsource of linux 3.04 stable
So I installed 3.0.4-43.1 from openSUSE Tumbleweed and found:

uname -a:

With Bamboo plugged in usb port.
Still no reaction in mypaint. I can only paint using the mouse but not with the Bamboo pen.

= = = =

If you like I can wait for www.kernel.org (or git) coming back in the air and start a new installation using the S.A.K.C script on a fresh 3.0 kernel source.

I don’t know what you mean by " a kernel > .37 " . Is the kernel I use now (3.0.4-43.1) > .37?
