<abstract>This is the Wacom Graphire USB Mini-HOWTO. This document describes how
|
|
to setup a Wacom Graphire USB tablet for use with Linux (console and X), starting
|
|
with the kernel configuration to the application level. But information should
|
|
be accurate for the Intuos USB tablet.

<sect>Introduction
|
|
<p>This document is a guide to getting your Wacom Graphire USB tablet to working
|
|
with Linux. Beware, this is a quite difficult task, but this guide will guide
|
|
you, step-by-step, through the process.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This work is mainly derived from the Wacom Tablet HOWTO by Stephan Runkel,
|
|
but brings some precisions about all the USB configuration that is absent from
|
|
the original document. If you want more precision about general Wacom Tablets,
|
|
please read Stephan Runkel's HOWTO.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>I have written this document because I've had many difficulties in setting
|
|
up my brand new Graphire tablet with Linux, but now it works quite well on
|
|
my Toshiba 4030CDT Laptop.

<sect1>Acknowledgements
|
|
<p>I wish to thank everyone that work on the USB part of the kernel, and special
|
|
thanks go to Vojtech Pavlik for his work on the wacom module.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Of course, I thank Stephan Runkel for his great Wacom Tablet HOWTO that
|
|
helped me much in the configuration process.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Special thanks also go to Frederic Lepied for his work on the xf86Wacom
|
|
module.

</p>
|
|
<sect1>Disclaimer
|
|
<p>The information in this document is correct to the best of my knowledge,
|
|
but there's a always a chance I've made some mistakes, so don't follow everything
|
|
too blindly, especially if it seems wrong. Nothing here should have a detrimental
|
|
effect on your computer, but just in case I take no responsibility for any
|
|
damages incurred from the use of the information contained herein.This document
|
|
is not a kernel howto, so I'll take the assumption that you know how to download/install
|
|
a new kernel, and how to configure/compile it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<sect>Requirements
|
|
<sect1>Hardware
|
|
<p>The main part is, of course, a computer with at least one USB port and
|
|
a Wacom Graphire USB tablet.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<sect1>Kernel
|
|
<p>I've used the latest development kernel for my installation : linux-2.3.99-pre6.
|
|
It's quite stable and has all the necessary features. You can also find some
|
|
downports, which are patches for old 2.2.x kernels. You can find all the infos
|
|
on the backport at http://www.suse.cz/development/usb-backport
|
|
</p>
|
|
<sect1>Console Software
|
|
<p>For the Linux console, the only program you need is gpm, available at ftp://ftp.prosa.it/pub/gpm
|
|
</p>
|
|
<sect1>XWindow
|
|
<p>For having all the abilities of your tablet, you'll need to use XInput.
|
|
More specifically you'll need the xf86Wacom.so module (that is shipped with
|
|
the most recent versions of XFRee86 starting from 3.3.5). Alternately, you
|
|
may need the xf86WacomUSB.so, which is a work-in-progress of adapting the original
|
|
xf86Wacom.so to use the USB. I'll speak of it later in this document.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<sect1>Others
|
|
<p>The applications supporting XInput are :
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<enum>
|
|
<item>The Gimp - a powerful image manipulation program in the style of Photoshop.
|
|
The 1.1.x instable development version includes XInput support as a standard
|
|
feature. You can obtain Gimp from http://www.gimp.org
|
|
<item>gsumi - a simple B/W drawing program that supports drawing / erasing with
|
|
pressure and tilt sensitivity. Get it from the gsumi web page: http://www.gtk.org/˜otaylor/gsumi/
|
|
<item>xink (By Ralph Levien) - another rudimentary drawing program for X. xink
|
|
is available from: ftp://kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/raph/xink.tar.gz
|
|
<item>RasMol - a molecular visualization program that supports a hardware dial
|
|
box using XInput. look at http://www.umass.edu/microbio/rasmol/distrib/rasman.htm
|
|
.
|
|
<item>xinput (by Frederic Lepied) - a very useful utility for configuring and
|
|
testing XInput devices. xinput is available from: ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/utilities/xinput-1.2.tar.gz
|
|

|
|
<sect>Kernel and hard stuff
|
|
<sect1>Kernel configuration
|
|
<p>Like I said earlier, the options I'll give come from the 2.3.99pre6 kernel.
|
|
If everything is not exactly the same, I think that taking a good guess should
|
|
help ;)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>** Reminder : [] stands for Yes/No options, and <> stands
|
|
for Yes/No/Module **</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>First of all, you have to enable the experimental code :
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>Code Maturity level options ---></bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>[*] Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers
|
|
</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If you don't, you won't have access to some of the drivers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Then, move on to the USB section.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>USB support ---></bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf><*> Support for USB</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>[*] USB verbose debug messages</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>--- Miscellaneous USB options</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>[*] Preliminary USB device filesystem</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>With this option, you'll activate the new features of the /dev/usb/* (which,
|
|
of course, you'll have to create : to be seen later)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>--- USB controllers</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf><*> UHCI (Intel PIIX4, VIA, ...) support</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>< > OHCI (Compaq, iMacs, OPTi, SiS, ALi, ...) support</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You must choose one of these, and only one. So, if one doesn't work, then
|
|
choose the other. Chances are that, if you use an x86 system, you'll take the
|
|
UHCI driver.

<p>There we go, the Wacom support should be activated (unless you read this
|
|
just for fun ;) )

</p>
|
|
<sect1>Kernel compilation
|
|
<p>Now the easy stuff :
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>When you exit the configuration do as they say
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>make dep bzImage modules modules_install</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Type it just like this and the computer will run all the steps one after
|
|
the other.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Then copy the file bzImage to /boot, copy the System.map to /boot, edit
|
|
your lilo.conf to point to your new kernel and type <bf>/sbin/lilo</bf> at the prompt.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>** Of course all of this (kernel config, kernel compilation and lilo tweaking
|
|
must be done as root) **</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<sect1>Before rebooting
|
|
<sect2>FStab
|
|
<p>If you want to avoid error messages at the next reboot, you'll have to
|
|
do the following :
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Edit the file /etc/fstab and add the following lines
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
|
|
</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This one is to activate the usb device filesystem
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>none /var/shm shm defaults 0 0
|
|
</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This one is because of a change in the shared memory stuff in the kernel.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<sect2>USB related devices
|
|
<p>Next, if you want to be able to use the USB :
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>mkdir /dev/input</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>mknod /dev/input/mouse0 c 13 32</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This will activate the mouse support
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>mknod /dev/input/event0 c 13 64</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>mknod /dev/input/event1 c 13 65</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>mknod /dev/input/event2 c 13 66</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>mknod /dev/input/event3 c 13 67</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>These will activate the stylus : moves, pressure, button and eraser.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<sect2>Modules configuration
|
|
<p>Edit the file /etc/modules.conf and add the following line :
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>alias char-major-13 usbcore</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<sect2>What I did next
|
|
<p>Next I added in the /etc/rc.d/boot.local file (remember, I use a SuSE distribution,
|
|
but you should fine an equivalent for RedHat in /etc/rc.d/init.d/boot.local
|
|
or /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.local)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>/sbin/modprobe wacom</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>/sbin/modprobe mousedev</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>/sbin/modprobe evdev</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Just to be sure the modules will load at boot time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<sect2>Last but not least
|
|
<p>Reboot ;)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Check your boot messages (<bf>dmesg | less</bf>), and see if there are no errors
|
|
related to USB. It may be because you've chosen UHCI and your system is an
|
|
OHCI one.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>On my system, the following messages are shown :

|
|
<p>When the kernel says "<bf>This device is not recognized by any installed USB
|
|
driver</bf>", it's because, at boot time, the wacom module is not yet loaded. But
|
|
as you can see, the whole USB bus and interfaces are recognized. So if your
|
|
system doesn't work and doesn't have such messages, try to check if you haven't
|
|
forgotten an USB option (something I indicated to be put in the kernel and
|
|
that you put as a module : if it's the case, in the <bf>/etc/rc.d/init.d/boot.local</bf>,
|
|
put the necessary modprobe <bf>BEFORE</bf> the 3 lines I indicated, for example <bf>/sbin/modprobe
|
|
usb-uhci</bf>).

<sect>The Linux console
|
|
<p>Now that you have your USB activated, it's just about time to try it all
|
|
with gpm :
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If gpm is activated at boot time, you'll have to kill it : <bf>gpm -k</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Then try your Wacom tablet : <bf>gpm -tIMPS/2 -m /dev/input/mouse0</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Move your stylus, or your mouse, and TADA ... the cursor moves on the screen.

<sect1>Having 2 mouses on the same system
|
|
<p>Have you ever dreamed of having 2 mouses on your system ? If the answer
|
|
is yes, do the following.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Edit the file <bf>/etc/XF86Config</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The modules section should look like this
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>Section "Module"</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>Load "xf86Wacom.so"</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>EndSection</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Then check the XInput section :
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>Section "XInput"</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>SubSection "Mouse"</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>DeviceName "WacomTablet"</bf> --> or whatever you like
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>Protocol "IMPS/2"</bf> --> I didn't manage to have imwheel recognize the wheel,
|
|
but if you do, drop me an email
|
|
</p>

</p>
|
|
<p><bf>Buttons 5</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>ZAxisMapping 4 5</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>AlwaysCore</bf> --> means that the Wacom mouse is always considered as the
|
|
core pointer, ie if you move your normal mouse or the Wacom mouse (or stylus),
|
|
it'll be just the same.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>EndSubSection</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>EndSection</bf>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>And there you are, the Wacom mouse (or stylus) is now considered as a second
|
|
mouse, but your normal one still works.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<sect1>Now on to the real stuff
|
|
<p>Back to the XInput section, after the parameters for the mouse, here is

</p>
|
|
<p><bf>DeviceName "WacomStylus"</bf> --> or whatever you want to call it
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>Mode Absolute</bf> --> ie the tablet surface is equivalent to the screen
|
|
surface
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>#Suppress 6</bf>

<sect1>The new module
|
|
<p>The xf86Wacom.so is not specifically written for the USB tablets, and it's
|
|
even not working correctly with these tablets. A new driver has been written
|
|
by Matsumura Namihiko <po-jp@geocities.co.jp> has written one named xf86WacomUSB
|
|
(available as source code at the same location than this Mini-HOWTO). However,
|
|
to be able to compile it, you'll need the kernel source code and the source
|
|
tree for XFree86 (I compiled it with success against XFree86 3.3.5, but it
|
|
should compile with 3.3.6).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This driver doesn't handle all the possibilities of the tablet, and crashes
|
|
if you pass it the <bf>AlwaysCore</bf> parameter.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>To correct this, I'll keep in touch with Frederic Lepied for a modification
|
|
of the original module to have it handle all of the possibilities of the tablet.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><bf>**NEWS** At Frederic Lepied's site, you'll find a link to a new USB driver
|
|
that works perfectly well, but exclusively with the possibility to have your
|
|
tablet working as a mouse : ie either you use your tablet in The Gimp to draw,
|
|
or you use it as an XFree mouse, but not both together. I'll investigate further,
|
|
and update this document accordingly.</bf>
