You've found a document detailing how to match up the kernel side driver=20 part (wacom) with the userspace configuration for the tablet. The problem in this case is that the kernel driver is not recognizing=20 the device, and hence is not creating the /dev/input/eventX interface=20 that the document is talking about. So, the document is not entirely=20 relevant because the problem occurs at a lower layer. The next thing to do on that bug is to research the issue. Try and find=20 other Linux users who have the same hardware, and see whether they are=20 reporting it as working or broken. If it appears broken for everyone,=20 has it been reported to the wacom developers, perhaps on a mailing list?=20 Are there any patches available? Google around a bit, and let us know=20 what you find (if you're confident you can just put your findings=20 directly on the bug). Also, you'll see that I asked for "lsusb -v" output. I asked for this=20 because all USB devices have unique ID numbers (vendor and product ID)=20 which can be useful when searching. In this case the vendor ID is 056a=20 and the product ID is 0090 (see if you can find where I read those=20 numbers from in his attachment). Just putting the phrase "056a 0090" into google seems to bring up some=20 relevant results. Thanks, Daniel --=20 gentoo-kernel@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
