Bug 370471

I just cloned this bug to mark that it needs to be done for 5.0/5.1 as well.

Charlie, test packages on:
http://people.redhat.com/arozansk/wacom_rhel5/

Charlie, any updates on this BZ#?

I have not had the hardware to test anything since before thanksgiving.  I'll
check back with the staff here and see if they will give me the hardware to verify.

Okay, so I downloaded the 49 rhel5 kernel and I had the same problems I did in
RHEL4 with the two kernels I tested.  Nothing seems to work in Absolute mode. 
Is there possibly some options I am not setting besides the Optiosn mode
absolute line in xorg.conf?

yes, please.

No. The company has one Intuos3 6x8" (that appears to be the one you have) and
I've been testing it for all wacom releases. No problem so far.
Is it a intuos3 6x8"?

Charlie, any news?

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

Okay, just tried it out one a machine using the intuos 6x8.  I'm still seeing the issue where it seems to only go half way a crossed the screen.  Then if you move it off and back on to the other side, it jumps over there and will only move half way back.  We have a few other people seeing this too.  Here is the versions I'm using:

cwyse@magic [:~] % rpm -q linuxwacom                                 [18:01:38]

are you using the nvidia driver and two monitors? "Twinview" is an option used
for that.

Gah, I realized the previous work was on a different wacom, why do they all look the same?  So I got the PTZ-431W and I can't even get it to create a /dev/iput/wacom-tablets device.

Charlie, what's the product id? (lsusb -n)

-n is not available in my lsusb.  But will a -v give you the info?

I see there is already an existing udev for the device.  But it doesn't seem to create the device.

BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", SYSFS{idProduct}=="00b7", SYMLINK+="input/wacom-tablets/intuos3-4x6-tablet%e input/wacom-tablets/intuos3-4x6-tablet-%c input/wacom%e"

Charlie, try running "udevcontrol reload_rules", unplug and plug the tablet again.

Still got nothing.  I tried a few variations as well. pretty much ran udevcontrol after everything I did.  Still no new devices.  It doesn't even create a /dev/input/event# which I normally see with a usb input device.

Here is the only information that comes up in /var/log/messages.

ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: wakeup
usb 2-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4
usb 2-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Charlie, what's the kernel version in use?

found the problem. it's a typo on the kernel patch. the id is 0xBF instead of
0xB7. I can't build a kernel right now. Are you on IRC?
