Wacom Bamboo Connect CTL-470

[zaptec]

Hi

I've recently bought a new wacom bamboo connect. Unfortunately, my fedora 15 don't recognize it.

Is a solution existing for get this tablet working under fedora?

Sorry for my bad english, I'm canadian-french

I have the exact same problem.
Has a solution been found?

Don't worry, support for the new generation of wacom bamboo tablets has already been added to the input-wacom module, but it hasn't been added to the official linux kernel yet.

If you don't want to wait for the module to be integrated into the linux kernel, you can build the latest version of input-wacom yourself, following this guide: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...le=Input-wacom

Please report back, if this worked for you.

I have encountered a slight problem.
The ./configure script cannot locate the kernel sources.

I have followed the procedure of yum installing the kernel-devel, here's the output:

  BUILD ENVIRONMENT:

We could not find the kernel development environment to build the driver.
Please install the kernel source or the kernel development package and try again.

Make sure kernel-devel as well as kernel-headers (don't know why it's missing in the guide) is installed. And what is the output of this:

$ uname -r
$ ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/source/

My uname -r is 2.6.41.10-3.fc15.i686

# ls /lib/modules/2.6.41.10-3.fc15.i686/source/
ls: cannot access /lib/modules/2.6.41.10-3.fc15.i686/source/: No such file or directory

There is something named source in that directory, it just isn't a directory.

Also, I have installed both kernel-devel and kernel-headers.

EDIT: After more snooping around, I have found source -> build -> /usr/src/kernels//2.6.41.10-3.fc15.i686, in that it is a symlink to a symlink. How do I resolve this?

EDIT2: I resolved this issue by removing the old symlinks and making source point directly to /usr/src/kernels...

I have now followed the instructrions, this did not work.

Okay, I'm sorry, didn't know, the directory structure changed in Fedora 16.

Then maybe try to describe, what's the problem. Did you remove the already loaded wacom module with "modprobe -r wacom" and did you try a reboot? And then try to follow these instructions, which are for Fedora 16, but might also work for Fedora 15 in a way: http://fedora-os.org/2011/12/26/waco...dora-16-verne/ Additionally you may try to also rebuild the X11 drivers, though I'm not sure whether this is really necessary: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...86-input-wacom

Ah, so it's working with the latest updates on Fedora 16 out of the box? Nice to hear, because a friend of mine considers buying one of those new bamboo models.
