Problems with a new Wacom CTL-460 Pen-only tablet

Ok, found out how to post this here finally ;v) (Ping, I emailed you directly first, oops!)
BTW, search just doesn't work in SF archives - it won't bring up anything for "460" - even tho there is another post mentioning this tablet?! (found it paging down after clicking a days link) - not nice... anyway... I am having a heck of a time with a new "Wacom Bamboo Pen" (only) Model: CTL-460 tablet. I am running Ubuntu Remix on a Acer One Netbooks It does have with a hard/software mod for the Egalax TouchKit screen (USB finger touch surface, added on top of the LCD) I mention the touch screen in case it could be interfering somehow?! I am getting device recognition but no data anywhere. I've followed many HowTo's include wacomlinux.org (although many locations for modules etc are wrong for Ubuntu) but still no joy :v) Packages, configs and compiles all seem fine and in line with HowTo's - except when it comes to getting any raw data to show up. X will not do anything with the device, even with xorg.conf modifed. The following are all the specifics: --- The xorg.conf lines for the existing touch screen are: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "EETI" Driver "egalax" Option "Device" "usbauto" Option "Parameters" "/var/lib/eeti.param" Option "ScreenNo" "0" Option "SkipClick" "1" EndSection NOTE: I did comment these out but have not tried disconnecting it (requires laptop dissasembly) --- Ubuntu Remx (netbook version) Linux version Linux kganb 2.6.28-15-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 9 10:49:34 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux --- X version (xorg) X.Org X Server 1.6.0 Release Date: 2009-2-25 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.24-23-server i686 Ubuntu Current Operating System: Linux kganb 2.6.28-15-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 9 10:49:34 UTC 2009 i686 Build Date: 09 April 2009 02:10:02AM xorg-server 2:1.6.0-0ubuntu14 (buildd@...)

> CTL-460 tablet. This bamboo pen is a new device. So its a bit of a gamble with adding the ID entries in the source. If the tablet speaks a protocol known from an earlier device and you have guessed it right, it may work, but there are no guarantees. I don't think using GRAPHIRE for the protocol for this device has highest probability of success tho. I suggest trying with WACOM_MO, like the rest of the bamboos. If the difference is just device number, It might work, but does not have to. If it does not, somebody needs to find out what the new protocol is and implement it. > I am running Ubuntu Remix on a Acer One Netbooks > It does have with a hard/software mod for the Egalax TouchKit screen (USB > finger touch surface, added on top of the LCD) > I mention the touch screen in case it could be interfering somehow?! I dont think the touch hack infulences wacom in any way. > I am getting device recognition but no data anywhere. Trying to talk the wrong protocol can cause that. Probably you have some errors in dmesg from wacom driver because of this. -- --Alexia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Thx Alexia!
I'll play around a bit and see if I can get it. I am having trouble finding digitizer specs (X/Y) for this tablet so I am working a bit blind. I tried to pick something that was similar. In my internet travels I seemed to pick up that it was compatible with several other Graphire tablets - or at least the same Win/Mac driver would work. There is also a packet length param that's a gamble as well. Maybe I'll get lucky! ;) Do you have any idea where I'd find the structure def for WacomModelDesc as found in wcmUSB.c?

They can and do contain several protocols that are used by device ID and new ones can easily be added. > Do you have any idea where I'd find the structure def for WacomModelDesc as > found in wcmUSB.c?

Alexia!!! I got lucky indeed!!!
I copied the complete line from the Bamboo def with WACOM_MO and sure enough it works!!! THANK YOU!!!

Boundaries are off a bit but I'll get my xorg setup and try settings with wacomcpl etc. I have no idea if I have pressure data yet either. But, I'm on my way. Thanks so much again!! Karl :P On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 2:39 AM, Alexia Death <alexiadeath@...> wrote:

Could you please format your final result into a nice patch and post it here so Ping can add support for this device to the official driver? You sound like the type who knows/can learn how to do it. { "Wacom Bamboo Pen 4x6", 9, 14760, 9225, 511, 63, WACOM_MO }, {"name", don know, width, height, pressure steps, dont know, protocol} sums up what I know about this format. -- --Alexia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Ok, I've never created a patch but I have been around Linux since it's early years ;) (I'm a C programmer by trade but do very little coding any more - did write a SCSI drive for a Sun system once - Ha, don't ask me to do it now tho ;v)
Point me to info on how to do it and I'd gladly help. Just before I forget, I did add a line to wcmUSB.c ( a suggestion from Favux on the Ubuntu forum) I'll paste it here until I can get you something formal. Oh and the structure def is right at the top!!! Duh! Here's the line added to the end of the WacomModel in context of other code... static struct { unsigned char model_id; int yRes; /* tablet Y resolution in points/inch */ int xRes; /* tablet X resolution in points/inch */ WacomModelPtr model; } WacomModelDesc [] = { { 0x00, 1000, 1000, &usbPenPartner }, /* PenPartner */ ....entire list here.... { 0x9A, 2540, 2540, &usbTabletPC }, /* TabletPC 0x9A */ { 0xD4, 2540, 2540, &usbBamboo } /* Bamboo Pen CTL-460 4x6 */ <---- line I added }; I will will also have to hunt for specs. I have check the box the manual and come up with nothing but I'll keep looking! For now all I know is that I have mouse control active. I'm quite sure the specs are wrong as it feels like the pen only needs a quarter of the tablet to navigate the entire screen area (that's 1024 x 600 on my little netbook) On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 2:52 AM, Alexia Death <alexiadeath@...> wrote: On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 9:43 AM, Karl Gingerich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Thank you Alexia for your active and informative support. I will include the Bamboo support into next dash release if the patch is available and a positive testing result by at least one user who has the same model is received.
Karl, I know Camden Buzard is also working on the same model as yours. I'll introduce you to him in a separate email (I didn't ask him to use his email address publicly yet). You two may work together on the patch and exchange testing results before submit it at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=525126&group_id=69596&func=browse. You both will be credited for the work.
