Please help.

Saludos, Pablo.

[Yaroslav (konan-mail)]

Actual problem! And I'm not the only one!

Developers are the driver, please update to 12.04 "Precise".

[Pablo Benavides (dinazafarraya)]

Hi again:

I solved my problem by simply downloading sources and recompiling.
The problem seems to be driver compiled with the wrong headers.

This stupid thing made me get fool, because i couldn't think something so simple could be happening.

Saludos, Pablo.

[Yaroslav (konan-mail)]

Hi Pablo.

I'm probably doing something wrong, I do not know enough.
Please, write step by step, how to make recompiling.

Thanks.

[Pablo Benavides (dinazafarraya)]

Hi Yaroslav:

As you can see in your logfile, the error could be:

[ 3724.587] (EE) module ABI major version (12) doesn't match the server's version (16)

So I thought that if i recompile the module the problem should be solved. And that was it!.

The steps to do that were so simple.

1.- Install all the build essential with sudo apt-get install build-essentials

2.- Download the wizardpen sources from https://launchpad.net/wizardpen/trunk/0.8/+download/xorg-input-wizardpen-0.8.0.tar.gz and untar them to a new directory.

3.- cd to the new directory and do a make command. I can't remember if there were some dependencies to solve. Anyway it so simple to apt-get them.

4º And finally if everything was ok, do a sudo make install

Unplug and replug your tablet and restart your gdm or lightdm service, et voilá... it should be working!.

That's what i did and everything is working ok. I don't know if your problem is similar to mine, but it should be the same since Linux Mint is a derivated from Ubuntu. So...

Good luck.

Saludos, Pablo.

Hello:

Just when I installed Kubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) and checked that my tablet had stopped working, I took a look into the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log and saw the line about which you comment above, which reports about the versions mismatch. I thought that it was a problem that required some kind of specific modification in the source code and that I had to wait for a new release of the driver.

Today I've decided to look for more information about this issue and have found this bug report. If months ago I had known that a simple re-compilation of the source code was enough to have it solved... He he he. The next time that I face something similar I'll try to re-compile before giving up so soon :P .

Thank you for the information Pablo!

[Alejandro Mery (amery)]

@negora: just uninstall the wizardped driver and remove the udev rules file (if you have any). it should work out of the box.

William, that should really be built into a DKMS package so people can install it without recompiling their kernel.
