Appendix D. Wacom digitizing tablets
OpendTect is the first seismic interpretation system to support Wacom digitizing tablets. Workflows for horizon tracking, fault interpretation, drawing of polygons & bodies etc. have been adapted to benefit from the superior hand-eye co-ordination offered by the pen device.
- To get the display working run nvidia-settings.
- Here choose the wacom tablet, click configure and select Separate X Screen.
- When you want the best possible display on the wacom screen then choose the other screen, click configure and select Disabled.
- Save to X configuration file: /tmp/xorg.conf_for_tablet
- As root make a copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to keep as backup and copy the file we just made to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- Restart X windows:
init 3
init 5
To make the input device work.
- First of all please check the kernel version:
uname -a
If the kernel version is e.g 2.6.31.12–0.2-default (OpenSuse 11.2)
(Or under OpenSuse 11.1) Other distros have not been tested yet.
Below are the steps to follow:
- Download http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxwacom/files/linuxwacom/0.8.8-8/linuxwacom-0.8.8-8.tar.bz2/download
- Then run commands:
bunzip2 linuxwacom-0.8.8-8.tar.bz2
tar -xf linuxwacom-0.8.8-8.tar
cd linuxwacom-0.8.8-8
zypper install xorg-x11-server-sdk ncurses-devel tcl-devel tk-devel
./configure --enable-wacom
make
make install
sync
cd src/2.6.30
/sbin/rmmod wacom
/sbin/insmod ./wacom.ko
- The wacom tablet should now be listed in file:
/proc/bus/input/devices
- Also there should be a :
/dev/input/wacom
- Now edit /etc/xorg.conf and add:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "eraser"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "cursor"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY
EndSection
- To ServerLayout add:
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" # For non-LCD tablets only
- Restart X windows:
init 3
init 5
To calibrate the wacom tablet run wacomcpl and click on button ‘calibrate’.
At this moment the wacom tablet input functions will not directly work after restart.
To make it work you have to do this again:
cd linuxwacom-0.8.8-8/src/2.6.30
/sbin/rmmod wacom
/sbin/insmod ./wacom.ko
init 3
init 5
