Using the Wacom digitizer of my Thinkpad X60t with Salix

Post by rrttdd »

At the moment I try to install the drivers of my tablet stylus for use with SalixOS.

What I've tried so far:

1) I installed the Xf86-input-wacom packet.

2) I've found the following instructions for Arch:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Le ... let#Stylus


I tried to adapt this for the Salix OS configuration. As far as I understand, the various .conf files in this directory contain sections which otherwise would be added to a full xorg.conf (??!)

So I created two additional files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

1) 10-serverlt.conf

Code: Select all

Section "ServerLayout"
    InputDevice    "Cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "Stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "Eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection
2) 10-stylus.conf

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Cursor"
    Driver      "wacom"
    Option      "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
    Option      "Type" "cursor"
    Option      "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
    Option      "KeepShape" "on"
    Option      "Mode" "Absolute"
    Option      "BottomY" "18432"
    Option      "BottomX" "24576"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Stylus"
    Driver      "wacom"
    Option      "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
    Option      "Type" "stylus"
    Option      "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
    Option      "KeepShape" "on"
    Option      "TPCButton" "off"
    Option      "BottomY" "18432"
    Option      "BottomX" "24576"
    Option      "Mode" "Absolute"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Eraser"
    Driver      "wacom"
    Option      "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
    Option      "Type" "eraser"
    Option      "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
    Option      "KeepShape" "on"
    Option      "BottomY" "18432"
    Option      "BottomX" "24576"
EndSection
But when I try this that way, x11 and ratpoison don't start with startx. So I renamed the extensions .conf to .__nf. That's the current status of this trial.

Doesn't it work if you just install the package and make no configurations at all?
