after reading many forum threads containing the word “Wacom” I am not completely sure what is the current tablet support status. In an older discussion I read a Wacom Graphire would work fine.
Can anyone confirm if a tablet is usable and if yes, what is the exact model name ?
This is not “recognized”, it is only found. The system has no clue what this device is or what to do with it.
Your next step should be to check out the wacom driver, it has a list of ids to which it will attach, add your device ID to the list and see if this works, you might have to supply additional info like the device dimensions to the driver.
Edit: alternatively if you are not compfortable developing drivers you can open a ticket with the output of listusb -v for this device.
Yes, it is pretty straightforward if the device supports protocols supported by the driver: all you have to do is to provide device id and name of the device, maximum x and y values and the protocol the device uses.
How can I properly figure out the device protocol? I just got one with ID 0x0302 “CTH-480”, the linux wacom project has the dimensions but not sure which protocol is needed. i tried DEVICE_BAMBOO_PT and DEVICE_INTUOS but getting read faults in the log.
Getting lots of “failed to read 64 bytes, read: 0 or No error” In the wacom log
