This HowTo explain the installation and configuration of the Trust TB6300 Tablet on Elive and/or Debian Lenny. It's a mix between others tutorals found here and there on the web but majors are this one and that one. As no one of them worked perfectly I show here how I proceed: I have to say that I didn't try the pressure feature... The tablet works with the "wizardpen" driver, so first we need to download latest driver version from here. Then we can start: Driver Installation
To compil the driver need few packages in a root shell run: apt-get install xutils libx11-dev libxext-dev build-essential \ xautomation xinput xserver-xorg-devThen extract the driver archive and enter the new directory: tar -xvzf wizardpen-0.7.0-alpha2.tar.gzcd wizarpen-0.7.0-alpha2/We can go through ./configure --with-xorg-module-dir=/usr/lib/xorg/modulesThen, if everything ok we can construct and install driver by entering: make && make installCheck the integrity of the driver installation by typing the command: ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.*It should give the output as follows: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.la/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.soOnce this done you can load driver with: modprobe wizardpen_drvType the following command in the terminal to know the real name of the Pentablet: grep -i name /proc/bus/input/devicesSave somewhere the real name of the tablet which you have to use in the next step. Xorg Server ConfigurationBefore doing bullshits better save our actual config file: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.saveWe have to find where does your system receive tablet's data, for that enter the following command and look for, first your device description section and then for the string: linux.device_file = '/dev/input/eventNWhere N can be 0, 1 or 2 etc... Once we have that we can calibrate the device. For me, as far i tried the calibration application give right values, sometime apparently not... So still in the wizardpen-0.7.0... directory: cd calibratecalibrate/wizardpen-calibrate /dev/input/eventNFollow instructions precisely and it will give you next needed values, note them down. Netx step is to edit our X Server configuration file: scite /etc/X11/xorg.confAdd the following sections to the file after your mouse section for example: Section "InputDevice" **Note: I'm not totally sure the next section is necessary for everybody but before adding it, I had only fourth of the available surface... Section "ServerLayout" Then restart the X server (with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace for example, question: I don't know if simply logout from enlightenment restart the server X?). If necessary restart machine entirely... It should work at reboot :)
