Comment 7 for bug 576610

Hello:

I've attached a file with the output from the command "cat". In /etc/X11/xorg.conf I've commented the device corresponding to the tablet in order to start X as it would do usually when I hadn't altered anything.

Among the mentioned packs, I do have installed: xutils build-essential xautomation xinput . Those with the "-dev" suffix were uninstalled because they're packs of headers which I only needed when I compiled the driver by myself. I guess they're not necessary any longer. Right? I keep "build-essential" because I compile a few things from time to time.

Finally, about the specified directories, only /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d exists. The other 2 are missing. The content of the first one is:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 946 2010-03-31 08:29 05-evdev.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 946 2010-03-31 08:29 05-evdev.conf~20100510
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 766 2010-04-15 23:37 10-synaptics.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 139 2010-04-22 17:14 10-vmmouse.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 480 2010-04-22 22:59 10-wacom.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 382 2010-04-16 08:13 70-wizardpen.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 382 2010-04-16 08:13 70-wizardpen.conf~20100510

Files whose name ends with ~ plus a date are just backups of the original ones. Both, original and backup, has the same content, as I restored it before writing this answer.

Since I started my tests, I've tried to edit:

/lib/udev/rules.d/67-xorg-wizardpen.rules
/usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wizardpen.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

All them edited in very different ways. However the only modification which has almost worked has been editing the last one. I also tried the configuration mentioned in the thread http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1475433 ,
 which you recommended to read... But no luck either.

Apart of all this, there are 2 issues which I can't understand:

1 - I've edited by hand /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/05-evdev.rules and added the lines corresponding to the Wizardpen tablet there. Just to make sure that 70-wizardpen.conf wasn't being ignored by X. No effect however. I've restored it.

2 - /var/log/Xorg.0.log still misses any mention to the wizardpen driver (except when mentioned explicitly at /etc/X11/xorg.conf ). Such driver is compiled and placed in the right directory:

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.la
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.so

No idea either.
