I really like my Puppy 5.1.1 Linux! However I want to run it on a Toshiba 3500 AND make use of the Wacom pen based touch screen part of this tablet PC.
Now, I have read through many topics, links on the subject and the process seems like veritable HELL for someone at the level of editing an XORG startup file and getting lucky (once).
Also all the information seems to be centered around versions 4.X.X - how about a definitive setup for these machines (Usefull; Tablet.pet) or, step by step instructions for the neophyte.
By neophyte I mean; it's easier for me to just buy a tablet on Ebay with XP tablet already installed. However I hate XP yet want the tablet functionality. I guess the bottom line meaning is that this is worth money...probably to more people than myself!
By neophyte I also mean when I'm instructed to do something in a terminal like
$su
Password:
# xxd /dev/ttyS0
and I get something like BASH - xxd - command not found; I'm DONE at that point. I cant even find if my tablet's Wacom serial device is functional...
Thanks ahead for any assistance I can get with getting Wacom serial Toshiba tablet working on Puppy version 5.X.X! A .pet would be ideal!

Wacom Tablet .pet for Puppy 5.1
try lupq 5.1.1
I wasn't able to get lupu to work with the wacom bamboo tablet either.
....but I was able to get lupq 5.1.1 to work and it is essentially the same
operating system ( just some locales and languages removed)

I got some Wacom pen activity!
I installed lupq, the suggested .pet and made the corresponding changes to the xorg.conf file to enable the Wacom. It works! ...Sort of...
Cursor tracking to the pen is great in some small areas of the screen, abysmal in others. It always goes to all parts of the screen...eventually. Some coordinates - such as the x-y frame where "plan" and "play" are - work perfectly. Others, such as where "connect" and "quickpet" are - I cant even get the cursor over the icons!
Do I assume my tablet's wacom screen is dead? the unit seems to be in very good shape; Toshiba Portege 3500 with zero scratches on the screen surface!
A pen from a different Toshiba behaves the same way...
How can I further diagnose?
Thanks and best regards,
Joe

Diagnosing wacom serial on tablet
I'm stuck on the "xxd" command again. If I could get this to run, I could see if my wacom is spitting out data consistently versus location on the screen.
My best friend Mr bash only says "bash: xxd: command not found"
The guys over at the Wacom Linux suggest using xxd like it's just a common part of the linux system. What do I need to do to get this to work in lupq?

It's a good sign that there is some movement even if it is very jerky and slow.
This means the pet package is installed.
Next step is to get the operating system to recognize the driver.
I was able to do this with the terminal commands
Code: Select all
depmod
modprobe wacom
then the pen will respond immediately and be very quick. If the pen
remains slow and jerky then the obvious problem is that you haven't
written the xorg.conf file correctly.
As I mentioned already on Murga forum wacom thread there is a trick to
writing the xorg.conf file using lupq
So if you want to use this method , you should go to start menu and fire up theI discovered this by looking at the xorg.conf file supplied by shinobar
and there was no section "ServerLayout" When I put one in and did
a restart of X I got a black screen and a message to run xorgwizard
When I did this , a standard xorg.conf file was created and it was
easy to modify for a wacom tablet. It works well except
that I get a period of black screen when I do a reboot.
prompt . Type in 'xorgwizard' and go thru the usual Puppy video driver
installation which only takes a few seconds.
This changes your xorg.conf file so that it is 'conventional'
i.e. it has a section that has a 'Server Layout'
I think you can figure out the rest yourself, but here's my
Server Layout' for a Bamboo tablet
Code: Select all
Section "ServerLayout"

Once it is working as a favor please review mtpaint 3.34.55
on the webpage

create new xorg.conf file
An alternate way to create a new xorg.conf file is to delete your current
xorg.conf file and then reboot. The operating system will check
while booting up and run xorgwizard when it finds no file.

Great - It Works!
Thanks so much for the .pet and assistance. All I did was install the .pet and make the appropriate additions to the xorg.conf file. My 3500 system had hardware issues which many of these do. Fixing it involved removing the screen bezel, the screen and wiggling / jiggling these small flat ribbon cables going to the Wacom board, which is affixed to the back of the LCD assy. The pen started responding smoothly at all parts of the screen after doing this!
Now I have a working tablet with lupq! Yay!
Unfortunately, the internal wireless has problems with lupq 5.1.1, as well as lupo 5.1.1. 4.3.1 it comes up immediately and every time. 5.1.1 I can get it sometimes, but on reboot it's lost again and often I cant get it back up at all.
I suppose something was done to improve the apparent lag in getting connected, to the detriment of slower hardware like this PIII machine. I'm asking about it in another thread.
Will the same .pet work in 4.3.1? I may be limited to it because of the wireless problem!
Thanks again!

pressure sensitive
Is the tablet pressure sensitive? Test it with gimp.
Download gimp (this is just available from playdayz)
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... -Lucid.pet
If you think puppy 4.3.1 is a better choice, then
I would recommend lighthouse 4.43 which is the exact same as 4.3.1
but has more apps pre-installed. It's easy to install the wacom
driver on it.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 55&t=47588
If you're more adventurous try lighthouse 5 . I was able to get the
wacom driver to install on it as well.
Just last night I was able to install the newest wacom driver on luci233
which is the beta of lucid puppy 5.2. The method I used was the same as
I described in the above post. So if you have the time try it out and report on
the thread

I got Lighthouse up and Network works; No Wacom though...
I'm a bit disappointed. Maybe easy for you? But I used the same .pet as before, with the 5.1.1. I changed the xorg.conf to: [below] and the pen no longer works. Please help, as I'm lost at this point.
Thanks and best regards,

puppy4.3.1 and wacom tablet
Note to Joe Jasniewski
It seems like wacom-0.8.4-4_xorg_driver.pet is
the only version that will work with Puppy 4.3.1
It's easy to install drivers in Puppy 4.3.1
because it has a 'ServerLayout' section.

Re: puppy4.3.1 and wacom tablet
Will this work on most Tablet PC's? I have a Fujitsu t4010 and a Gateway M275. I prefer 431 but above it was said that this might be easier to do in the Lighthouse version. Is there really much difference between that and plain vanilla 431? As far as getting the Tablet features that is.don570 wrote:Note to Joe Jasniewski

Joe Jasniewski replied to me that he could get
Lucid Puppy QuickSet (lupq) to
run properly.. at least the stylus moved properly.
But he didn't reply back about Puppy 4.3.1
....but I don't see why not. However when I looked at his
xorg.conf file it was radically different from mine.
Tablet PCs are obviously very complex and they need a more
detailed xorg.conf . That subject is not something I know much about.
Sorry.
Best of Luck.

I looked over at Ubuntu and up until 9.04 they had a deb package in the repositories. Perhaps the one for Hardy Heron would work in Puppy?
I am no expert here either {or anywhere else :}] . It seems there are enough Tablets to warrant a bit more support .One thing all Linux users need to do is donate to the people who do this. I have not been able to do much but if a few percent of the people would give 5- 20 dollars for the people who write their favorite programs the support would increase dramatically. I wonder what percentage have ever sent Barry a check?
If everyone who used Puppy sent 5.00 -15.00 a month I bet there would be a TabletPc.pet . Maybe set something up with PayPal where they automatically sent a certain amount rrom your account to a fund for the guys/ladies who use their skills so duffers like us can have such cool software. Maybe have different membership levels in the Puppy Club depending on your monthly gift and vote on what percentage of the funds goes to different levels of programmers depending on their contributions and maybe have contests for new laptops etc for the coolest new additions etc.
I think a lot of people {still a small percentage} would give something every month if there was a program like that . It never ceases to amaze this quality of sofware is "free" .
Open source programmers need pizza too.
Wacon for 431
I have had no trouble getting my Gateway M275 Tablet working in Lubuntu 9,10, or 11 but never Puppy 431.
