FC2 - Wacom Graphire 2 problems

[renderdbrian]

Has anyone been able to get their USB wacom Graphire 2 tablet fully working with fedora core 2?

I am having severe problems with mine.

I have compiled the linuxwacom0.6.3 driver, I have set up xorg.conf for the tablet.

I can move the X cursor using the stylus or mouse, but i get no output from xinput test stylus - this means that Gimp can't recieve pressure data from the stylus.

I've also tried with the stock fedora core 2 kernel wacom driver, still no results.

Here is the relevant section from my Xorg.conf

I have the same problem with my Intuos2, so don't feel alone in this world.

I have no problem using Wacom Graphire with Fedora Core 2 using the default kernel. However, I haven't configure the stylet yet to find out. I have a problem with this tablet once I switch to kernel 2.6.7.

I'm using a Wacom Graphire on FC2 with default kernel but I'm not able to configure it as input devices on gimp, it works as normal mouse.

Same sad thing is happening with me. I can't configure it in the Gimp ...just behaves like any other rodent out there. :(

runing fedora core 3! I just plug it in and it works no doubt about it but....I feel some strange things like it thinks it reached the end of the screen when it hasn't yet. Oh well, what can I do? anyone?

Hi there.

Thought I'd quickly post some information that may (or not) be of use.


I trialled a friends Intuos2 in Fed Core 3. It sees it as a mouse (!).

It didn't map the writable area on the pad to the viewable are on the screen.

I changed the mouse acceleration to 1.0 and it works really well. Some of the nice things (like programmable buttons) I have not idea about as I didn't try that out.

Additionally, I own a Dolphin Graphics Tablet, which is an Aiptek clone (Hyperpen I think). That works just as well - it too needed mouse acceleration slowed down to 1.0.

I believe my HP Rugged Tablet PC TR3000 uses Wacom --
I have not yet tried installation and do not want to reconfigure hard drive if there is little prospect of getting the Tablet working -- it is primarily used for navigation on my boat..
HP branded Tablet is in fact manufactured by Itronix who market it as a "GoBook"
It would be good to see more support for Tablets.
I would be willing to try installation if there was an Elmer out there willing to help

Hi there.

I'm thinking to go and buy myself a wacom.

My gf is using windows and use it to write with caracters in msn.

I am just learning chinese and since I have a norweginan keyboard I can not type chinese caracters. (actualy I can, but it take forever to find the right key for the right caracter)

It's not a option for me to change to chinese keyboard layout even it have latin caracters because the norwegian keyboard has 3 aditional æ ø and å.

Is there anny way for me to do some handwriting in kopete or amsn?
