Hi all,
I have been recently struggling with my USB pen tablet Wacom Volito2 on my
Debian Stable (Etch) fresh installation. I have read somewhere that it
should be recognised out of the box, only after modprobing it (modprobe
wacom).
I have tried to do that, but the pen tablet did not seem to work, even after
restarting the X session. So I have installed the following packages:
wacom-tools and xserver-xorg-input-wacom (even though I can't remember
whether the latter package was already installed). I have tried to configure
the input devices in xorg.conf in the following way:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "PressCurve" "50,0,100,50"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "eraser"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "eraser"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "cursor"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "cursor"
EndSection
And the ServerLayout section in this way:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection
But I still don't get any signal, even after restarting the X session.
So I tried to check whether the tablet was at least recognised, using
wacdump: I can see the pen tablet is there, but when I move it around, there
seems to be no input:

The tool xidump can't find any input device on /dev/input/wacom:

Unable to find input device '/dev/input/wacom'
The tools xsetwacom can find my input devices:
# xsetwacom list
eraser eraser
cursor cursor
stylus stylus
Synaptics Touchpad pad
I have also tried to
chmod 777 /dev/input/wacom
and
ln -s /dev/input/wacom /dev/wacom
No luck.
I have no clue of what else I could try to get it working.
Thanks for your time.
