Hi

I recently bought the SketchBlock drawing program and soon decided to invest in a drawing tablet to enjoy it fully. So some days ago I bought a Wacom Intuos5 Pro and downloaded the Wacom driver and put the WacomTablet.usbfd driver in the devs:usb/fd folder and the WacomTablet.fdclass file in the devs:usb/fdclasses folder as indicated on the guide.

I rebooted the X1000 and when the OS had loaded i inserted the Intuos5 drawing tablet. Unfortunately the driver does not load and the tablet remains inert.

I tested the tablet with Gimp on a Windows 7 machine, and it worked well there. So yes, I have some use for the tablet, if I am out of luck, and it can't be made to work on the X1000. But the icing on the cake is to use it with the X1000

I checked the fdclass file and added the productID to the file, and now the fdclass looks like this:

FUNCTIONDRIVER
NAME "WACOM Tablet Driver"
VENDOR 0x056A
PRODUCT 0x0315
TYPE INTERFACE
PRI 6
DRIVER "WacomTablet.usbfc"

I have looked around using NotePad in the WacomTablet.usbfd file, and I can see some readable text mentioning numerous Wacom tablets - but not the Intuos5 Pro, which is hardly surprising, since the driver came out before the tablet, as far as I know.

I would appreciate very much if someone can guide me to a working tablet. Pleeeeeeeze

THE USB log reports (among other things when the tablet is inserted):

Init Fkt
Fkt 0x5bcb58f0 is (vendor: 0x056a, Product: 0x0315, Class: 00.00)

Init Fkt
Fkt 0x5bcb58f0 initialized

WacomTablet.udbfd
Unable to identify device by Vendor and Product Id

Hi, from my thread over at amigans.net:

update:Aug-12
Using abalabans's Wacom driver (from OS4Depot most, if not all, USB Wacom pen tablets should now work under AmigaOS 4.1. I confirm that my Wacom Bamboo Connect works great with SketchBlock with this driver (minus the eraser portion on the end of the pen)

USB devciees that work with OS4.1FE

Hi

I have seen your list of USB compatible devices and I know that numerous persons use assorted Wacom tablets with the driver. What I am worried about is these 'facts'...

a) That the driver predates the Intuos5. The Intuos5 only got driver support for Linux in 2913, the year after the amiga driver was made, and the Amiga driver is based on the Linux driver, if I understand it correctly.

b) It may be a requirement for the driver to recognize the Intuos5, that it is listed inside the driver (as I mentioned it looks as if all sorts of Wacom devices are listed - except the Intuos5). That would explain the message saying that it cannot recognize the tablet. I noticed a discussion about the other driver for UCLocic where Andy Broad mentioned some hardcoded values in his UCLogic driver. Perhaps there are similar hardcoded values (as in the list of Wacom devices) in the Wacom driver. If so, maybe it can be added to the driver.

c) The Intuos5 is one of the more expensive drawing tablets with high pen sensitivity and problably som technical twists, that are not implemented in the smaller models. I was sort of betting on it having the same basic functionality as any other Wacom Tablet and thus supported by the driver, when I bough this particular model.

d) I have not seen anyone actually saying that they have used an Intuos5 with an amiga.

@TheMartian

Have you tried writting to the author? i know i had an unsupported tablet some time ago and wrote to him, he was very supportive.

For clarification:
SketchBlock only sees the OS it's not "driver aware" but just supports the standard (sinec AmigaOS 3.5?) NewTablet messages, so this is a driver issue rather than a sketch block issue.

Alex Balabans driver is based on my UCLogic driver, but IIUC using the linux wacom info (not code) as reference, much as mine used the wizard pen as reference.

If the intuitos 5 needed a seperate loonix driver that' not a good sign.

Best things is to email or PM him, he may be able to help you out.

More like the vendor and product IDs in the fdclass rather than the driver, these identify the tblet and pass control to the driver, which then attempts to take it over passing control nack to teh usb stack if it can't.

I've yuet to find a tablet that claimed to be other than a UCLogic which worked when I plugged in the alternate values. Same is probably true of the wacom. You might be lucky though it might just require a small tweak to get working, but only Abalaban can tell you for sure.

Hi

Yes, thanks for the suggestions. I will write the author himself. With some luck it may be a question of adding the name of the device to his driver..

@TheMartian


I have an intuos5 touch and I just made a few modifications to the driver to add support for it and it works on my end so it should on your end too. Send me your email by PM and I'll email you the modified driver.

Hi I am the AmigaOS 4 Wacom driver author, Jesper contacted me about the driver and told me you were working on a modified version. Do you have plan to further maintain it? If so I would gladly let you do so, else let me know so that I can look into adding support for this new tablet.
