We just use the default options except for the request to build wacom.o by statingĪfter that we can compile the driver and install it by Untar the file and change directory.Ĭonfiguring and compiling the code (either way)Īfter that we can configure our linux-wacom tools. Go to linux-wacom-project and download the latest stable release ( linuxwacom-0.8.2 in August 2008). Now we are ready to download the development branch of the Wacom driver to the automatically created subdirectory linuxwacom-dev by issuingĬhange directory into linuxwacom-dev and issue When prompted for a password just press enter. In Ubuntu Hardy this is just the cvs-package.įollowing the cvs instructions at we first login as anonumous. Therefore we have to install the corresponding programs before. Getting and preparing the latest development release Furthermore we will need the development libraries ncurses and Xlib ] as well as tcl/tk, which are in Ubuntu Hardy In Ubuntu Hardy these areĪnd dependencies. In either way we will first we have to get a few packages related with the Autotools. However note, that a lot of work is currently (August 2008) going on to enhance the support for MultiTouch. The other way is to download the latest stable release from linux-wacom-project, which might be saver.

Note: Please only *remove* xserver-xorg-input-wacom, but don't *purge* it. Restart the X-Server and test if everything has been removed by looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log. In Ubuntu Hardy these areĪccording to the installation manual remove or comment out all wacom related lines in the X-Server configuration file /etc/X11/nf.

It shows how to tweak the source code to get the calibration right. It describes how to get the sources via cvs, compile and install the drivers. In contrast to that the procedure in the present article tries to benefit from either the latest development version of the linux-wacom-project or the latest stable release. Besides the patch is only applicable to the FC8 distribution. As things change rapidly the patch has to be updated for every new version. However in the development packages MultiTouch is supported and work is going on there to improve things.įor the distribution Fedora Core 8 in Installing Fedora 8 (Werewolf) on an X61 Tablet a rpm based on the patch Usable Multitouch Support has been created. As things stand in August 2008 the latest packages of Ubuntu of the linux-wacom-project do not support MultiTouch for the X61 Tablet and X60 Tablet.
