Wacom tablet not working on KDM

K

Kosei

Hi,
I use Wacom tablet(CTE-430) on FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE and KDE4

I installed multimedia/webcamd and x11-drivers/input-wacom,
and I have been trying to follow this guide.

But I have a problem. My Wacom tablet doesn't work on KMD and KDE4.

So now I don't use any display manager(KDM) and
Code: 
startx
then my Wacom tablet works well on KDE4.

Here is my /etc/rc.conf

Code: 
keymap="jp.106.kbd"
ifconfig_bge0="DHCP"
sshd_enable="YES"
ntpd_enable="YES"
powerd_enable="YES"
moused_enable="NO"

How do I get my Wacom tablet to work on KDM?
thanks.
 
Have a look at this thread: [thread=31288]Getting a Wacom Bamboo CTH-470 tablet to work[/thread]

I followed #2 post in that thread.

I commented out moused_enable & moused_nondefault_enable on /etc/rc.conf

Code: 
#moused_enable="NO"
#moused_nondefault_enable="NO"

and I edited /etc/devd.conf.

Code: 
attach 100 {
# We don't want moused to try to use the Wacom tablet
#       device-name "ums[0-9]+";
        device-name "ums0";
        action "/etc/rc.d/moused quietstart $device-name";
};

detach 100 {
# We don't want moused to try to use the Wacom tablet
#       device-name "ums[0-9]+";
        device-name "ums0";
        action "/etc/rc.d/moused stop $device-name";
};

I rebooted the FreeBSD,and

Code: 
startx

then My tablet works well on KDE4.

Next,I tried to run KDM.
I added the lines /etc/rc.conf to enabled KDM.

Code: 
local_startup="${local_startup} /usr/local/kde4/etc/rc.d"
kdm4_enable="YES"

I rebooted again,but My Wacom tablet wasn't working on KDM and KDE4.

And I followed #3 post of the earlier thread.
but It wasn't working also when KDM is enabled.

I know I can use my tablet at login and startx,
but it's a little bit troublesome:(

Does anybody know of a way to run with KDM?
 
What SirDice says about looking at that other thread is important for anyone who wants to set up a Wacom on FreeBSD. The installation instructions that come with the wacom driver in the Ports tree, x11-drivers/xf86-input-wacom, provide nearly complete instructions but omit the part about preventing moused from using usm0, because Wacom tablets need to use usm0. If you want to use a mouse and a tablet (a good idea), you probably have to edit the devd.conf file as stated above:

Code: 
attach 100 {
# We don't want moused to try to use the Wacom tablet
# device-name "ums[0-9]+";
device-name "ums0";
action "/etc/rc.d/moused quietstart $device-name";
};

detach 100 {
# We don't want moused to try to use the Wacom tablet
# device-name "ums[0-9]+";
device-name "ums0";
action "/etc/rc.d/moused stop $device-name";
};

Although the instructions are from 2012, they are still generally applicable for FreeBSD 9.3 and 10.1 RELEASE.
