My wife wants to get started with some computer art, so she is asking her parents for a Wacom tablet for Christmas. I looked at the Linux Wacom project on sourceforge (linuxwacom.sourceforge.net) and made sure that she asked for one of the supported models, so now I need to make it work on her Debian box with GIMP.
I've installed wacom-kernel-source and wacom-tools. I tried to compile the modules using module-assistant, but it bombed with no information. At first it complained about not being able to find the archive, so I tar'd up what was installed in /usr/src/modules, but then all it would do is unpack it and fail. I've looked at Steve Wallace's HOWTO for Debian Sid (http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/debwacom), but he just builds the kernel and XFree86 drivers from the upstream source and installs them by hand rather than as a Debian package. I'd like to do the The Debian Way if at all possible. Has anyone succeeded in using wacom-kernel-source? Does anyone have any tips? The system is using a stock 2.6.9 kernel and is running sarge with a bit of sid. --Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
