Wacom Volito 2 tablet doesn't work

Same here with a PenPartner. I compiled linuxwacom drivers v0.7.4-3 and it worked.

I can confirm this bug. I am using a Wacom Volito 2 too. See my topic on the Ubuntu forums for more information and some logs (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1567450).

Question to the reporter: is it possible to share your new compiled wacom.ko with us, as I don't know how to compile stuff...

In 2.6.17-10-generic it still doesn't work.

I attach the 0.7.5-4 (development) module I compiled on my system -- use at your own risk ;)

Put it in /lib/modules/<your kernel>/kernel/drivers/usb/input/

Backup the old wacom.ko file in case mine didn't work.

Your attached version works fine for me.

Thanks.

Thanks so much for figuring out how to fix this problem! I've been stuck with a 2.6.15 kernel for ages now because of this problem.

Thank you so much for your attached version. This was the last roadblock to convince a friend to use ubuntu.

Here's the kernel module I made from version 0.7.6-1. The <a href=http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/>Linux Wacom Project</a> lists this version as stable, so I suppose it will be included in Ubuntu soon.

The 0.7.6 version should be included in edgy-updates as it supports 2.6.17 kernels and, obviously, it has no point to have an outdated and not working wacom.ko module in edgy.

I can confirm this bug.
Thank you very much for your help, Kimiko Koopman.

Can't make this work..
With the new module the tablet works, but pressure is detected for a few seconds. Then it drops to the minimum, and no matter how hard I press, all I get is no pressure or minimum pressure. This happens under gimp and under Inkscape.
Anyway wacdump shows pressure being detected fine when on console...

I can't make it work. I replaced the wacom.ko module and now /dev/input/wacom doesn't even get created.
I did
grep -i wacom /var/log/messages | tail
and get this:

Nov 19 21:37:15 localhost kernel: [17179611.172000] wacom: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module

I also tried to compile wacom.c and replaced wacom.ko with my compiled one and it's the same.
Please make a edgy update to fix this!

Thanks! I haven't tried the module 0.7.5-4, but 0.7.6-1 worked flawlessly for me, thank you!

Like CoolkcaH, mine doesn't work either - I get the same 'wacom: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module' report after having tried all suggestions.
Very frustrating!
The pen is usually mightier than the mouse but in this instance the pen just don't work!

Hi, also getting these problems!

Posted the following on the Ubuntu forum, was directed here:

I've got a Volito2, which I never got properly working in Dapper (x86) - sometimes it worked in absolute mode but I use it in mouse mode. Just upgraded to Edgy, hoping it might help sort it out, but now not even recognised. I've swapped the new compiled wacom.ko into /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/kernel/drivers/usb/input/ .. no joy.

grep -i wacom /var/log/messages | tail

gives:

Feb 2 17:22:57 localhost kernel: [17179612.576000] usbcore: registered new driver wacom Feb 2 17:22:57 localhost kernel: [17179612.580000] drivers/usb/input/wacom.c: v1.45:USB Wacom Graphire and Wacom Intuos tablet driver Feb 5 09:42:02 localhost kernel: [17179608.240000] usbcore: registered new driver wacom Feb 5 09:42:02 localhost kernel: [17179608.244000] drivers/usb/input/wacom.c: v1.45:USB Wacom Graphire and Wacom Intuos tablet driver Feb 5 09:44:46 localhost kernel: [17179772.456000] input: Wacom Volito2 4x5 as /class/input/input3 Feb 6 10:29:59 localhost kernel: [17179589.436000] wacom: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module Feb 6 10:30:06 localhost kernel: [17179607.904000] wacom: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module

If anyone's got any hints would be great ... as I'm starting to get RSI again from using a mouse!

Thanks

That error is because your kernel doesn't match the version the module was compiled against. I've included the module I compiled from the stable sources (0.7.6-4) against the 2.6.17-10-386 sources which works with my 2.6.17-11-386 kernel (for which I can't find the sources).

Hello Mark,
Thank you very much for your assistance, greatly appreciated. I'll try
setting up my tablet again in the morning (when I'm more awake!).
Kind regards,
KC

As it seems, in feisty there will be the old 0.7.2 version of wacom tools.
Does anybody have a clue where is the appropriate place to file the wish, that at every kernel update, wacom.ko gets updated too?

I can't seem to be able to get it working with 2.6.17-11 using the module you provided. I used the same procedure I used successfully for 2.6.17-10.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hello,

I have managed to get the Volito2 working, as in recognised and in default absolute mode.
However, I am used to using it in relative "mouse" mode. When I change the settings in xorg.conf, the cursor goes crazy on the x axis - jumping around. Y axis seems fine. I tried playing with the top/bottom settings but could not work it out!

Any help with this much appreciated.

Thanks
Adam.

Hello,

Wacom Volito 2 tablet now works 'Out-of-the-Box'.

Decided to do a 'clean' install of Feisty yesterday (20/04) once the initial scramble had died down. Before beginning I created a separate partition for '/home' and copied everything across following this article at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome (backing up the '/home' directory first). As I've a couple of family members with their own logins I also copied (cp) their directories to the new '/home' partition. Having double checked that the new partition worked and burnt the new Feisty CD, it was time to bite the bullet.

I plugged in my Wacom Volito 2 tablet and booted up the CD. Installation was a breeze (apart from the usual hand coded re-installation of my TalkTalk USB Broadband - I'll get round to a hardware router eventually). Picking up my pen with some trepidation I moved it across the tablet, to my sheer delight, in synchronization the pointer moved across the screen! Testing it with the Gimp was a joy - pressure sensitivity works!

A big THANK YOU to all who have mad this experience possible!

Kind regards,

Kaptain Chaos

I confirm that in Feisty, it works out of the box (fresh install).
Even better, it still works after the kernel upgrade.
Thanks for your efforts.
:)

In Hardy with 2.6.24-16-generic Volito 2 works out-of-the-box.
