Be sure to install all the build-dependencies needed and mentioned on the linux-wacom website.

#Wacom bamboo tablet windows 10 not working how to#

You have to follow the instructions on the linux-wacom website on how to compile the kernel module and the xserver driver almost to the letter but you have to apply three patches in the process. If you don't want to wait that long to get your new tablet going - the solution is to compile the kernel-module and xserver-driver yourself - I have 12.04 running with 3.8.0-32-lowlatency kernel from the kxstudio ppa, so I don't know if this works with the stock 3.2 kernel but since you are on 13.10, that shouldn't be a problem. The tablet is too fresh :-) the input-wacom developers are working on support in the upcoming release of input-wacom (kernel driver) and x86-input-wacom (xserver input driver) as soon as the patches are accepted into the kernel upstream, they will release the new version. (*) you have to do the installation AFTER rebooting in the new kernel, because otherwise the uname -r tricks will install the module in the wrong place.ĪND ANOTHER NOTICE: if you tablet works, but it does not show up in the control panel, look at this answer and sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom NOTICE: Every time the kernel is updated, you need to repeat step 3 and 4 (*)(you better add a make clean you had no kernel module wacom.ko loaded), a reboot is not needed. If you had not the tablet connected since the last reboot (i.e. Otherwise, for a more recent version, just do sudo make install 3.7/wacom.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko For versions < 0.27.0, you have to use: sudo cp. You have kernel 3.11.something, not 3.7 - do not worry. Kernel source - yes /lib/modules/3.11.0-14-generic/build If there are no errors, at the end you have a message starting with: BUILD ENVIRONMENT: If using a newer one, you need to issue make # only for versions >= 0.27.0

Update In versions prior to 0.27 or whereabout, that started the compilation too. cd to it and compile the drivers: cd input-wacom-0.20.0 Move the downloaded file in that direcory, cd to it, and tar xjvf input-wacom-0.20.0.tar.bz2ģ) a directory input-wacom-0.20.0 is created. Notice that if uname -r tell you that you have a special kernel (ending not in -generic, but -rt, or -lowlatency, or whatever, you should modify the second apt-get accordingly)Ģ) uncompress the driver in a directory of your choice. Sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic sudo apt-get install build-essential libX11-dev libxi-dev x11proto-input-dev xserver-xorg-dev libxrandr-dev libncurses5-dev autoconf libtool If it says that a reboot is needed, reboot before continuing (this is to avoid to build against a wrong kernel). Upgrade your system if you have not, so you have the last kernel. In date, the newest is input-wacom-0.20.0.tar.bz2.Ģ) be sure to have the build dependencies installed. It should be at least 0.20.0, otherwise the tablet will not be detected, from here.

Short version: you do not need to patch input-wacom anymore starting from version 0.20.0, and you do not strictly need to update the X.org input driver in 13.10.įor 13.10, if you accept to forego the new things added to x86-input-wacom (at this time:, looking at changelogs, it's some stuff about better touch behavior) you can simplify it a lot.īasic information is still from the main answer, and from here, with a slight difference.ġ) Download the last version of input-wacom kernel driver. Nevertheless, the following instruction can be helpful if some new tablet comes out which has support in the upstream driver but not in the stock kernel. The tablet works out of the box, but sometime you need to manually load the driver with sudo modprobe wacom before attaching (or switching on if wireless) the tablet.
