hid-ids.h is not included - Needed

[gali98]

Binary package hint: linux-headers-generic

In Karmic, the file:
/lib/modules/2.6.31-**-generic/build/drivers/hid/hid-ids.h

is not included for some reason. This file is needed to compile some programs. The one I need it for is the linux-wacom package (For Wacom tablets.) This is pretty important for that reason.
The thing is, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git-repos/ubuntu/linux-2.6/drivers/hid/
has the file where it should be, but it is not anywhere on the computer.
A relevant ubuntu forums thread is here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270149
A workaround is to just download the file and paste into the correct spot, but this is a bad fix as any update to the package may result in it getting deleted/not updated to the right place. This file was in Jaunty as far as I know. (Since I never had a problem compiling the program.)

[This is an automated message. Apologies if it has reached you inappropriately.]

This bug was reported against the linux-meta package when it likely should have been reported against the linux package instead. We are automatically transitioning this to the linux kernel package so that the appropriate teams are notified and made aware of this issue.

If this bug really is a bug in the linux-meta package you can move it back to linux-meta and set the Status to Confirmed, or contact us on the #ubuntu-kernel channel on the FreeNode IRC server. Thanks.

I'm trying to compile linux-wacom to support my bamboo pen & touch but they are not included

[gali98 (korylp)]

@Jamie -

First, you can get the file by running the command:

sudo wget -O /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/drivers/hid/hid-ids.h http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git-repos/ubuntu/linux-2.6/drivers/hid/hid-ids.h

But there is not yet support for the new bamboo tablets.
Check out this thread on ubuntu forums though - From what I understand they are very close to getting it to work (at least the stylus part):
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1290251

(Check the last few pages)
