Introduction to Wacom

The Linux Wacom Project manages the drivers, libraries, and documentation for configuring and running Wacom graphic tablets under the Linux operating system. It contains diagnostic applications as well as updated kernel drivers and XFree86/X11R6 XInput drivers.

Project Homepage: http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/

Dependencies

Note

The current version, 0.7.8, has problems when using xsetwacom if you have build your Xorg7 with XCB. You may want to refer to the home page for a new version that fixes these problems.

Required

• X Window System
• TCL
• Tk

Recommended

• Gtk2 using the ./configure option --with-xinput=yes

Configuration Information

Prior to building the driver, make sure the kernel is configured with support for HID and Input device support (INPUT_EVDEV). Newer kernels also contain support for the Wacom tablets; if you plan to use the kernel module available with the libwacom driver, make sure you have this option built as a module.

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-dlloader &&
make

Install the package:

make install

Multilib

32Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD32}" \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" USE_ARCH=32 ./configure \
--prefix=/usr --x-libraries=/usr/lib --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu \
--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --disable-xserver64 --enable-dlloader \
--with-arch=32 --with-xlib=/usr/lib --enable-wacom &&
make

Install the package:
