Wacom Graphire Bluetooth does not work (nothing listed in xsetwacom list)

According to Mesilliac's post on the sourceforge project, [URL="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2781875&group_id=69596&atid=525126"]the bluetooth wacom has kernel support as of 2.6.31[/URL]. Kernelnewbies provides [URL="http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_31"]a little amplification[/URL] and provides a [URL="http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=ca2dcd40f54c8928b3994712a6cadd2078a087fa"]link to the commit[/URL]. I have tried inserting the hid-wacom module, and touching the wacom pen to the tablet now seems to act like a mouse click, but that's all it does.

Hi, I'm not too sure why the kernel driver isn't working, but here's an updated version of the driver i was using in Jaunty which seems to work ok.

"make && sudo make install" to compile and install

Strangely it seems to break if I remove the part that renames the tablet from "WACOM Pen Tablet" to "Wacom Pen Tablet". Unfortunately I don't have much time right now to do more debugging :(.

tommy, awesome! Pen moves and is in relative mode. Question: are you
getting pressure sensitivity also? I have pressure sensitivity in my
Intuos3, but not in my bluetooth tablet.

With that driver the tablet should have been fully functional, pressure and all... but I have a better solution now anyway.

It turns out there's a tweak to the bluez package that needs to be made to enable the new kernel driver to work. I've uploaded a modified package to my ppa at

https://launchpad.net/~yobbobandana/+archive/ppa

Could you try installing this and see if it works?
You should also uninstall the driver I uploaded previously with the command:

sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-`uname -r`

(backticks important)
After this, the tablet should hotplug and work fully except perhaps for the two pad buttons. You might need to turn it off and on again once initially, due to an unrelated bug.

Is your bluez fix included within the bluez project itself? I've installed blueman which installed version 4.61 of bluez and makes your ppa fix useless because it's much newer.

Any progress on this issue? Still have a brand new tablet for more than a month now and still can't use it. :-S
Can anyone point me in the direction of fixing this issue myself?
So my question remains, what's the fix in bluez to make this thing working again?

Thank you for reporting this issue with wacom-tools, we are migrating it to the new xf86-input-wacom package which has replaced it in the development version of Ubuntu.

This would be a good point for you to re-test this issue against the new package to see if is still occurring. If not, you can mark it as Fix Released in Launchpad. If it is still an issue in the current development release and you're the original reporter, please reply and attach a fresh Xorg.0.log.

Well I suppose u mean lucid lynx (10.04) and if that's the case it's still broken.
It still results in the same behavior.

I am seeing a similar failure with my Graphire Bluetooth.

wacom 0005:056A:0081.0004: parse failed
wacom: probe of 0005:056A:0081.0004 failed with error -14
wacom driver registered

This is Ubuntu 10.4 on amd64.
I've got the PPA installed and the updated bluetooth packages.

I have removed blueman and reinstalled a stock kernel, to make sure that /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-wacom.ko is original.

Bluetooth pairing works and the connection remains up, but no new devices appear in /dev/input/by-path/

I have got a /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-linuxwacom.fdi file in place, but I don't think that it's being used yet.

Any help to get it working would be appreciated.

Hi Kirk,

This bug was reported against an earlier version of Ubuntu, can you
test if it still occurs on Lucid?

Please note we also provide technical support for older versions of
Ubuntu, but not in the bug tracker. Instead, to raise the issue through
normal support channels, please see:

    http://www.ubuntu.com/support

If you are the original reporter and can still reproduce the issue on
Lucid, please run the following command to refresh the report:

  apport-collect 483453

If you are not the original reporter, please file a new bug report, so
we can work with you as the original reporter instead (you can reference
bug 483453 in your report if you think it may be related):

  ubuntu-bug xorg

If by chance you can no longer reproduce the issue on Lucid or if you
feel it is no longer relevant, please mark the bug report 'Fix Released'
or 'Invalid' as appropriate, at the following URL:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/483453

I am writing this from a LiveCD of Lucid, with no additional PPAs installed or anything. I am running amd64.

The tablet still does not work. I am able to get it associated with relative ease (associating works, but syslog shows errors. Turning the tablet off then on again syslog shows no errors.)

I'll run the apport command.

Note that Ben in comment 10 had already tried this on Lucid, and in fact seems to have tried with some PPA software installed.

I've got i working now.
By using the PPA from this post.
It also includes the source for changing bluez accordingly.
It basically comes to tell the tablet to go in full functional mode.

Any progress on including this fix?

Hi, a very good business company, I suggest you go to see:
mobiles3gs.com, and now all of products enjoy great discount, saving
time and money. 6--)

Everything seems fine in 12.04 (Except the buttons), there is some unrelated bug concerning this tablet, when the battery reports to be empty, the attached computer running Ubuntu will suspend as if it's laptop battery was empty.

And it stopped again, just installed 12.04 from scratch (new HDD), completely updated it and now it doens't work anymore.
Does show up in xsetwacom list en xinput though.

Seems to be related to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1021069
I've got the same log entries, but do not experience any visual crash.
