Bug 489675

Does it work on rawhide if you manually configure the device in xorg.conf? It looks like the hal setup is working fine, but the driver is bailing due to the ioctl thing.

Given the output from evtest, I doubt it would fully work...:
Input driver version is 1.0.0
Input device ID: bus 0x5 vendor 0x56a product 0x81 version 0x100
Input device name: "WACOM Pen Tablet"
Supported events:
  Event type 0 (Sync)
  Event type 1 (Key)
    Event code 272 (LeftBtn)
    Event code 273 (RightBtn)
    Event code 274 (MiddleBtn)
  Event type 2 (Relative)
    Event code 0 (X)
    Event code 1 (Y)
    Event code 8 (Wheel)
  Event type 4 (Misc)
    Event code 4 (ScanCode)

Seems to recurse adding new devices with the Bluetooth driver for the Wacom tablets. The driver doesn't rename the device, or anything funny like that.

$ grep -i wacom ~/lshal-wacom-on.txt | grep x11_driver
  input.x11_driver = 'wacom'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'wacom'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'wacom'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'wacom'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'wacom'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'wacom'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'wacom'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'wacom'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'wacom'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'wacom'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'wacom'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'wacom'  (string)

With the linuxwacom fdi file removed. I believe it parents the new device wrongly, and thus loops over it somehow.

Seems to work fine now with a kernel that's not so crash-prone. Patch is at:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.input/7078/focus=1749

patch went in kernel-2.6.29-28.fc11

Working for me, thanks!

Hi, just to let you know I've written a proper HID driver for the graphire bluetooth. I've only tested it on Ubuntu, but if you want to try it out, I posted a link and some instructions at:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=674738&p=7156808

Afaik the tablet works at a basic HID-compatible level without the driver - no pressure sensitivity etc.

With the driver everything should work just like a wired Graphire3.

It's not a "proper HID driver", given that it uses HID_COMPAT_LOAD_DRIVER(), and pokes at Bluetooth internals (hidp) directly.

I don't see why you would feel the need to write a driver when one was already written and sent upstream...

I wrote it because my tablet didn't work. Of course I didn't notice there was one written. I've been keeping the old driver updated and wrote the basis of this one back in December.

When I posted I was assuming that the only driver around was the (updated) old one by Andrew Zabolotny, so "proper HID driver" was in relation to that, not yours.

Anyway, as there's already more polished work available, no need for me to continue :).

I'd be happy to know if your tablet works with the patch I submitted upstream though (note that it requires a patch to bluez's bluetoothd as well).
