Just tried a fresh install with the beta live CD, and one thing I noted was that it put entries for a wacom board into xorg.conf, and not only that, they work!
Well, not immideatly. They point at the device /dev/wacom, which doesn't exist and have no way of existing. However, the package wacom-tools provide udev scripts which make wacom tablets appear in /dev/input/wacom. A quick symlink to test it confirms that all that's needed is for these two to meet. Actually, those udev scripts should be made standard instead if xorg is actively looking for boards.
I wasn't sure where I was gonna file this, as it could be an installer issue, wacom-tools, udev or xorg, but since the entries are in xorg.conf, I thought I'd start here. Please reassign or help me split the bug if it's needed.
Out of the box plug-and-play wacom support would impress a lot of graphics guys I know to no end - some of them still think it's amazing I don't need the included CD to use a digital camera. ;-)
(Side note: would it be possible to auto-configure "extended devices" too? That's a stumper for pressure sensitivity for many). |
UPDATE (To clarify the situation) :
First bug
At the moment on Dapper (Dapper 05/23 Daily Build), /etc/X11/xorg.conf points wacom devices to /dev/wacom, which is not the right location. It should instead point to /dev/input/wacom, automatically created after install of wacom-tools.
Second bug :
xserver-xorg-input-wacom doesn't depend on wacom-tools, whereas users need wacom-tools installed to get an almost working configuration.
Reason : wacom-tools provide udev scripts that creates a working symlink in /dev/input/wacom
Solving these two really small bugs would make Dapper ready for wacom tablets (at least the USB ones) without even any user intervention - a great feature for this release.

Wacom support almost there... add some udev magic? |

It's too late to fix this for edgy, but I'm setting a milestone "later" which means we'll get to it when edgy is out. |

At the moment, udev scripts installed by package wacom-tools point to /dev/input/wacom, whereas /etc/X11/xorg.conf points wacom devices to /dev/wacom.
As a result, Wacom USB tablets don't work in Ubuntu. |

fixed by this upload (NOTE: the path will be /dev/input/wacom from now on):
wacom-tools (1:0.7.7.7-0ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low
.
* Merge with Debian unstable, remaining changes:
- Bump the epoch because of old Ubuntu packaging.
debian/control:
- xserver-xorg-input-wacom: Provides xserver-xorg-input.
- Change the Maintainer address.
debian/wacom.postinst:
- Remove old files.
debian/xserver-xorg-input-wacom.init.d, debian/rules:
- Initscript for serial devices.
* debian/xserver-xorg-input-wacom.init.d:
- Change the device path to /dev/input/wacom
- Move the initscript from wacom-tools to the driver, so the driver
doesn't need to depend on wacom-tools.
* debian/rules:
- copy the manpage to the builddir before configuration, otherwise
the build fails.
- build with -fno-stack-protector.
