[arch-general] Wacom CTL480S support
Heyah. I've got an simple question: how does Arch stand with the support for Wacom graphic tablets? Especially the CTL480S version. As I lurked through the forums, it might not be supported in the Kernel yet (~ src: linuxwacom), but they also said that it should've been granted support in mid-october. So my question is - how does it really look right now (and does anyone have *any* experience with that particular model)? My first mail to the list also. ;-) Have a nice day! -- *Humanitee.pl - Hosting dla Ciebie!* <http://humanitee.pl/> Marahin ~ Homespace <http://marahin.pl/> Projectspace (3lab) <http://3lab.re/> Twitter <http://twitter.com/3labMarahin>

Have you tried it yet? Because my CTE-650 works fine out of the box, and there's a whole archwiki page devoted to tweaking them. --- --John "Sean" Greenslade

--- --John "Sean" Greenslade Indeed I have.
I have followed the basic *automatic* instructions listed at Arch's wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wacom_Tablet), yet no luck. xsetwacom --list devices returns nothing for me, though lsusb finds my Wacom tablet connected. ;-) As I had mentioned before, I found source on Linuxwacom forums ( http://linuxwacom-discuss.996327.n3.nabble.com/support-for-CTl-480-td7234.ht...), which said that it might not be supported in the kernel before mid october. I've got a few mates who use 460s and 470s, which work fine (at least in Ubuntu). Have a nice day.

According to that thread, they're targeting kernel 3.13 for built-in support. Since we're currently on 3.11, you'll have a bit of waiting to do, it seems. You might (if you're feeling up to it) try asking for the patches on that thread and compiling the kernel yourself. Makepkg makes adding patches to a kernel build fairly straightforward, assuming you're somewhat familiar with the package build process. --Sean
