Comment 2 Luya Tshimbalanga 2010-03-10 19:41:27 UTC
Running evtest result:

]# evtest /dev/input/event9
Input driver version is 1.0.0

Testing ... (interrupt to exit

It seems to recognize wacom screen but no input works.

Comment 3 Peter Hutterer 2010-03-15 03:54:38 UTC
This looks like an evdev problem - the device is assigned the evdev driver.

In the evtest output above - did you get any events when you touched the screen? If so, can you please run evtest-capture against the device and attach the resulting xml file here.

Comment 4 Luya Tshimbalanga 2010-03-15 04:54:29 UTC
Alas no event at all. I reverted to Fedora 12 on my laptop. I will run evtest-capture when I got Fedora 13 Alpha liveusb instead.

Comment 5 Matěj Cepl 2010-03-15 23:11:46 UTC
OK, putting the bug back to needinfo, so that it won't get lost. You have 30 days to provide requested information.

Thank you for helping us to make Fedora better

Comment 6 Luya Tshimbalanga 2010-03-16 05:51:17 UTC
evtest-capture.xml is empty with no input at all from Wacom device so it could not be included as attachment. It seems evdev is broken for Tablet. Test done using Fedora 13 Alpha liveusb.

Here is resulting output:

Comment 7 Luya Tshimbalanga 2010-04-15 17:53:21 UTC
Any progress about enabling Wacom on Tablet? I run Fedora 13 Beta from Live Media but no input so far from either event7 and event8.

Comment 8 Luya Tshimbalanga 2010-04-17 23:39:07 UTC
Running Fedora 13 Beta updated on 20100417. Segmentation fault on both event8 and event9. No input from stylus and evtest-capture.xml is empty.

Comment 9 Fedora Update System 2010-04-22 06:19:39 UTC
evtest-1.26-1.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13.

Comment 10 Peter Hutterer 2010-04-22 06:22:38 UTC
with the wacom driver, evtest-capture won't work too well (same with evtest). the driver puts a grab on the device and no other process can then receive events. The evtest-capture crash is fixed in evtest-1.26 but to get events you need to VT switch away from the server before using evtest-capture.

evtest-capture result for wacom driver

I run evtest-capture as followed instruction. The result is included and still no input from Wacom serial on my laptop.

Comment 12 Peter Hutterer 2010-04-22 23:03:45 UTC
sigh. sounds like the kernel driver is mute then? just to make sure, can you boot into runlevel 3 (without X running) and check with evtest or evtest-capture if the device sends events then.


init 3 as root will do that (and shut down your X session in the process), init 5 gets you back to your normal runlevel and starts a new session.

evtest-capture result without X

Result from evtest-capture on event9 running on init 3 with no input using stylus.
I verified wacom driver is installed yet it appears evtest did not recognized as serial Wacom tablet compared to Fedora 12. Just to make sure, here is 50-wacom-conf

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Wacom class"
        MatchProduct "Wacom|WALTOP|WACOM"
        Driver "wacom"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Wacom serial class"
        MatchProduct "WACf|FUJ02e5|FUJ02e7"
        Driver "wacom"
        Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
EndSection

# N-Trig Duosense Electromagnetic Digitizer
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Wacom N-Trig class"
        MatchProduct "HID 1b96:0001"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "wacom"
EndSection

Here is a part of 10-evdev-conf

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev tablet catchall"
        MatchIsTablet "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

A small question, should both 10-evdev-conf and 50-wacom-conf be moved in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d ?

Comment 14 Luya Tshimbalanga 2010-04-27 16:54:18 UTC
After updating the latest kernel 2.6.33.2-60.fc13.i686, still no input for Wacom Serial Tablet PC Pen Tablet/Digitizer. It seems change on evdev broke Serial Tablet PC support. However, using USB Wacon Graphire 2 is working fine.

udevadm report

 I tested the design suite liveusb for F13 20100511, the same problem occurred. evtest-capture returned nothing and I cannot include empty file. I followed instruction from #582582 because there were no wacom-serial.conf inside /etc/X11, still no luck. Should this report be merged with #582582 because the similar issue?

Comment 16 Fedora Update System 2010-05-17 19:08:37 UTC
evtest-1.26-1.fc13 has been pushed to the Fedora 13 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 17 Luya Tshimbalanga 2010-05-18 10:08:21 UTC
fix from #582582 made stylus input working although evtest-capture seems unable to capture it for some reason.

Comment 18 Peter Hutterer 2010-05-18 23:46:38 UTC
you did VT switch away, did you? if the wacom driver has a grab on the device, evtest won't see anything.

evtest-capture without X server

Here is the evtest-capture result switching away from X. I first thought I would see the output but I don't see trace.

Comment 20 Peter Hutterer 2010-05-30 23:55:09 UTC
that file doesn't look like an evtest-capture output to me :)

anyway, with 582852 fixed, can we close this bug now? I think this is the main issue here, let's ignore the evtest-capture stuff for now.

Comment 21 Luya Tshimbalanga 2010-05-31 05:34:49 UTC
+1.

Comment 22 Matěj Cepl 2010-05-31 08:12:24 UTC
Thank you, closing per comment 21.
