I can't get my graphical tablet to work on my new SuSE. On SuSE8.1 it was useable as an USB wheel mouse, but on 9.1 there is no movement visible of the cursor when I choose one of the USB mice.

How can I fix this?

Check you have modules hid (or usbhid) and wacom installed. If you have, post the output of lsmod and lsusb. Regards Sid.

modprobe hid (or usbhid) modprobe wacom and try using the devices,. # grep -i wacom /boot/config-2.6.4-54.5-default CONFIG_USB_WACOM=m # grep -i hid /boot/config-2.6.4-54.5-default # USB Human Interface Devices (HID) CONFIG_USB_HID=m CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y CONFIG_HID_FF=y CONFIG_HID_PID=y CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y Everything is there to make them work.

I am not knowledgeable enough to know how to check wether or not I have hid or wacom installed. Please elaborate. lsmod results after I changed to sux in the shell konsole. I have to use another USB mouse as well at the moment as the wacom doesn't do anything, as soon as it works I will remove this additional mouse. This is a dual boot with winXP, and both mouse and tablet work fine there, even at the same time.

I have removed the additional mouse, connected the wacom, and booted. The wacom was recognized by linux, and I was given the yast window to choose the mouse. But all the USB mice option there didn't work, none of them brought the tablet to life. I have no clue what to do next.

OK, from lsmod, you have both hid and wacom modules installed.

It's odd you are not seeing the usbmouse in lsusb if it's plugged in. You can also try "rchotplug restart" to see if that kicks them into life. Otherwise this may be one for SuSE support. On my laptop, I have besides the mouse pad, a USB mouse and a USB serial port, both working, the webcam and my Kodak camera both work when connected. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....

You need to use sax2 ( or yast/hardware/graphics card and monitor ) to install it, look for input devices in sax2 this device is there. I have one and it is working. Thadeu On Tuesday 03 May 2005 20:19, Ruben Safir wrote:

I got a new toy for Passover, something I've wanted for a long time, a wacom tablet. I picked up a graphire3 which is usb. I can't seem to get it working, and I'm thinking that maybe I don't have modules for it on the system.

I tried to follow the instructions at this URL

http://www.linuxlibrarian.org/blog/index.php?p=188

But got nowhere. I've never had one of these before, so I was thinking that maybe the fact that I have a mouse in the USB is the reasons for not even getting output from the mouse. But when I use just the wacom, I get no input. So that might be a seocnd issue.

I see no wacom when I greped the kernel tree.

Has anyone expertise with these things?
