Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2010-11-04 03:12:07 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

* if you have any original HAL configuration files,
* output of the following commands:
  + dmesg
  + lsusb -v
  + cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/product
* system log (/var/log/messages)

to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above.

Hello,

I'm sorry for the large number of logs. I wasn't sure if you wanted them with or without the tablet attached, so I've given them both. 

I did have a hal conf file, but after updating to F13, it no longer worked since input configuration was needed in the xorg.conf.d dir. I've attached the conf file. (it's available at my fedorapeople space too (http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/tablet/wizardpen.conf ) 

The fedorasolved page worked for F12, for F13, this is what I used:
http://dodoincfedora.wordpress.com/2010/09/22/getting-your-tablet-to-work-on-f13-using-wizardpen/

The package is for fedora. I found the spec at a blog iirc. It has some stuff that I didn't have the time to understand (I just rebuilt the rpm and used it). Since I didn't understand it well enough, I hadn't submitted it for review yet. 

Thanks for taking this up. 

regards,
Ankur

Don't worry, I think we can squeeze one or two more logs in the database ;)

OK, interesting.

Peter, do we want this package in Fedora? Or is it superseded by some stuff we already have in Fedora or we will have soon?

Comment 19 Matěj Cepl 2010-11-09 14:08:08 UTC
The latest upstream package seems to be http://linuxgenius.googlecode.com/files/wizardpen-0.7.0-alpha2.tar.gz

I'd rather encourage the author to get the driver into the kernel so that the standard drivers (evdev or wacom, whichever is better) can handle it. Hardware-specific X input drivers have had their day, these days they're mostly obsolete from the onset.

Just to note, that there is nothing preventing any volunteers to package this in meanwhile for Fedora and maintain the package yourselves (no, I won't help you much with it, just with bug triage and possibly package review, I have enough on my plate already).

Hello Matej,

I can take up the packaging and maintain the package. However, as Peter advised, I'll write up a mail to upstream requesting them to send the package to kernel upstream to try and get it included first. In the meantime, I'll file a review request asap. 

Thanks. 
regards,
Ankur

Thanks Ankur. let's leave this bug open for now to see what answer comes back. It'd be great if you could update us with the feedback, I won't be monitoring the code.google.com site.

Just checked upstream bug tracker. No response on ticket yet.
