Genius Mouspen 8x6

[suomaf]

Hello all,

Has anyone succeded in installing this tablet? I found the wizardpen driver site http://www.stud.fit.vutbr.cz/~xhorak...zardPen_Driver
But I have some difficulty compling the driver.
I am getting an error when i run xmkmf

[root@fortune wizardpen-driver-0.5.0]# xmkmf
mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/share/X11/config
In file included from /usr/share/X11/config/Imake.tmpl:2194,
from Imakefile.c:35:
./Imakefile:5: error: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Server.tmpl: No such file or directory
imake: Exit code 1.
Stop.

Anyone can help?

Thanks

Okay, this is one of those topics but ask and answer itself

The first problem that I had was not being able to make the make file, because for some reason they could not find the Server.tmpl.. so I did a

rpm -qal imake | grep Server.tmpl and found out that the location was different, so I tweaked the file Imakefile line 5 to show the correct location of the Sever.tmpl which is

/usr/share/X11/config/Server.tmpl

After this was done, xmkmf ran perfectly and was able to compile neatly too.

So following the instructions on the site, I copied the driver into the right place which is

cp wizardpen_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input

with the driver installed, I had to add a new rule for udev and so it was creating a new file called

vi /etc/udev/rules.d/10-tablet.fules

and adding the following lines to it

BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{product}=="Tablet WP8060U", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK+="input/tablet", MODE="0666"

Finally to tweak the xorg.conf file, I will append the file at the end of this posting.

So basically it works now, altho i have to say, the mouse that came with the Genius product is either not too sensitive or too sensitive, but i was able to use my original mouse for my other purpose, the pen was the one that i really wanted to make sure it works, and now it does. Pressure works too.. so Gimp is like my own etch-e-sketch

Okay long winded post but hope it helps someone who is looking to install a Genius brand tablet.

Cheers suo

Hey all,

Following my own post I was able to get the Genius Mouspen 8x6 working on Fedora 8 but a strange thing happened, if i leave the tablet unplugged during bootup, it seems to refuse to go into X and just looks like it hangs. But if we have the tablet plugged in it works.. Did i stuff up the xorg.conf somehow? or maybe the udev rules?

Any thoughts? I know that all i needs to do is to comment out the Tablet portion in the server layout but this computer is for my 60 year old dad and I would like it to be as painless as possible and no going into root.

Thanks for any helps

Hello all,

If any gurus can help me look at my xorg.conf file, would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

1. Download the source package here: http://specificcrap.arbitrarycrap.co...0.6.0.2.tar.gz
2. Compile and install the driver:
./configure --with-xorg-module-dir=/usr/lib64/xorg/modules && make && sudo make install

The driver (wizardpen_drv.la and wizardpen_drv.so) is installed by default in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input , so copy these files to /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input.

3. Connect your Wizardpen tablet.
4. Find out the name of your tablet : cat /proc/bus/input/devices or grep -i name /proc/bus/input/devices
5. Create a new file with the name /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<!-- This MUST match with the name of your tablet -->
<match key="info.product" contains="NAME OF YOUR TABLE OBTAINED FROM STEP 4">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">wizardpen</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.SendCoreEvents" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TopX" type="string">10</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TopY" type="string">10</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.BottomX" type="string">32747</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.BottomY" type="string">32762</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MaxX" type="string">32747</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MaxY" type="string">32762</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>

6. Restart your X server.
If your tablet doesn't work after that unplug and plug it again.

If something went wrong check out the /var/log/Xorg.0.log (Search for "EE" and "WW")

Hey Vikswd,

After not using the tablet in F9, I am trying to set it up again in F10. I followed your instructions but seem to be having problems.

When I checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log I see this ..

(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "A4Tech PS/2+USB Mouse" (type: MOUSE)
(II) config/hal: Adding input device UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U
(**) UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U: always reports core events
(**) UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U: Device: "/dev/input/event4"
(II) UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U: Found 7 mouse buttons
(II) UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U: Found x and y relative axes
(II) UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U: Found x and y absolute axes
(II) UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U: Found absolute touchpad
(II) UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U: Configuring as mouse
(**) UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U" (type: MOUSE)

Is this right.. is it supposed to be added as mouse?

Also when i tried to do the calibrate

./wizardpen-calibrate /dev/mouse1

it shows success.. but i cannot get it working as a tablet when i move it around or try pressing it does not work...

any ideas?

Suo

[suomaf]

Also when i ./wizard-calibrate /dev/event4

I was able to get the following

[root@godspeed calibrate]# ./wizardpen-calibrate /dev/event4

Please, press the stilus at ANY
corner of your desired working area: ok, got 671,2034

Please, press the stilus at OPPOSITE
corner of your desired working area: ok, got 32633,32162

According to your input you may put following
lines into your XF86Config file:

Driver "wizardpen"
Option "Device" "/dev/event4"
Option "TopX" "671"
Option "TopY" "2034"
Option "BottomX" "32633"
Option "BottomY" "32162"
Option "MaxX" "32633"
Option "MaxY" "32162"
[root@godspeed calibrate]#

Any thoughts anyone?

Hey all,

I am trying to install a tablet and I think i am narrowing my problem down to either hal or udev. I am not sure which. The problem is not with the software but me not knowing how to tweak hal or udev. Having followed some instructions on the web I was able to install the driver and all but I need some help with I think udev or hal

(II) config/hal: Adding input device UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U
(**) UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U: always reports core events
(**) UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U: Device: "/dev/input/event4"
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U" (type: MOUSE)

How would I force udev or hal to add this tablet as tablet or /dev/tablet instead of /dev/mouse2

Any thoughts would be much appreciated thanks,

Suomaf

Any gurus that can help ? Please?

[Tuxo]

It is not clear to me what is your problem, but I just got mine working. I am posting parts of my config file. Please pay atention to the red lines.

1: Had to add a line for the tablet:

# Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display

        Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "single head configuration"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
        InputDevice    "tablet" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

2: I think your line should say "event4". Regarding the green options, those are suitble for my monitor, and I even have to check if are the correct settings now, but you may change to suit your needs:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "tablet"
        Driver      "wizardpen"
        Option      "Name" "UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U"
        Option      "Type" "stylus"
        Option      "USB" "on"
        Option      "Button1" "1"
        Option      "Button2" "1"
        Option      "Mode" "Absolute"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/event5
        Option      "SendCoreEvents" "true"
        Option      "TopX" "391"
        Option      "TopY" "1704"
        Option      "BottomX" "32701"
        Option      "BottomY" "29254"
        Option      "MaxX" "32701"
        Option      "MaxY" "29254"
        Option      "BottomZ" "1023"
        Option      "TopZ" "10"
EndSection

Thanks to the people who made this too easy.

Having followed some instructions on the web....

can you post the link to the instructions AND to the driver
AND were they FOR FEDORA or just " Linux"

[suomaf]

Thanks for replying.. did you have to do anything to udev?

I added this file /etc/udev/rules.d

BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{product}=="UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK+="input/tablet", MODE="0666"

it should be able to give me a device in /dev/input/tablet but it doesn't

The xorg.conf file i have on my system seems to be wrong, this is what i have as of now. I can calibrate it using the drivers wizardpen-calibrate /dev/event4

http://www.not404.com/content/howtou...ablet-fedora-9

Thing is when i followed these instructions, I get an extra mouse in /dev/mouse0 or 1 but not /dev/input/tablet
