Thinkpad X41 Tablet Wacom stylus stopped working on Lubuntu 14.10 [closed]
I've just upgraded to lubuntu 14.10 from an old release on my thinkpad x41 tablet, and the wacom stylus device appears to be lost. xinput --list used to yield Serial Wacom Tablet stylus as a pointer device, but now nothing other than the trackpoint is recognized. xsetwacom list returns nothing.
xserver-xorg-input-wacom is already installed on the system, with no wacom-tools available in the default repos. So far I've tried modprobe wacom and modprobe wacom_w8001 (the stylus/tablet is a w8001 serial device), neither would pick up the stylus; among others that returns can't set device type, inputattach --w8001 /dev/ttyS4 keeps getting timeouts.
I'm at a loss here, presumably the stylus would work with unity ubuntu, which however would be far too heavy for the x41.
Solution 1:
I finally got it to work with the following workaround:
I just removed the whole folder /lib/udev/rules.d/69-wacom.rules/ (Actually I moved it to my Desktop just in case I need it again.)
Then I added the following file (named 69-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules) instead of the removed folder (I have copied the file from the ubuntu installed on my lenovo X61 Tablet):
/lib/udev/rules.d/69-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules
# udev rules for wacom tablets.
# These rules were compiled for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution,
# but others may, and indeed are encouraged to, use them also.
#
# Should you do so, PLEASE CO-ORDINATE ANY CHANGES OR ADDITIONS
# of new devices with Ron <[email protected]> so that we can try
# to present users with a standard set of device nodes which
# they can rely on across the board.
# Catch the serial tablets and tell X that's what they are
