How to run a graphics tablet, Aiptek clone

[tkoko]

Problem with running the tablet Pentagram T8060M (2000 year), clone https://www.sslug.dk/~chlor/trust/
On a PC with Linux Ubuntu =< from 7.10 the tablet works without additional drivers (CD/DVD 2007 - 2014 year).

On the rPI USB you with Raspbian (2017 year) can see the tablet as;

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 08ca:0021 Aiptek International, Inc. APT-2 Tablet

The tablet is not detected as an HID device.
I installed the Aiptek and Wacom drivers from the repository

xerver-xorg-input-aiptek
xerver-xorg-input-wacom

I installed it;

Xorg-input-wizardpen-0.8.1 with https://launchpad.net/wizardpen/+download
digimend-kernel-drovers-6 with https://digimend.github.io/drivers/

I tried to install the following drivers, but my knowledge in Linux is too small.
xfree-4.2.1 with https://sourceforge.net/projects/aiptektablet/
linux2.5.65

Has anyone tried to run Aiptek tablets on rPI ? Thank you for all the advice.

They are .tar.gz compressed files, extract the driver first, then install it.

Code: Select all

tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz

xerver-xorg-input-aiptek (from the repository) is installed by Raspbian

Xorg-input-wizardpen-0.8.1 and digimend-kernel-drovers-6 is installed with commands

cd pi
cd digimend-kernel-drivers-master (or Xorg-input-wizardpen-0.8.1)
./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

the installation was OK, but the tablet does not work.

xfree-4.2.1and linux2.5.65 is' not installed because I do not know how.
How do I install the * .diff file?

Trying to patch a 4.x.y kernel with something meant for 2.5.65 (roughly 5 years old) isn't likely to work too well. This device may not work at all with your Raspberry Pi.

I highly recommend XP-Pen tablets as well. I have the XP-Pen Artist15.6 , which was, at the time, the medium sized tablet in the Intuos line (I say 'at the time' because mine is over a year old now, and I'm not quite up to speed on their recent offerings). It has good pressure sensitivity, is easy to set up and use, comes with replacement pen nibs, and works well with various graphics programs (including Corel Painter, which is what I use). All I can say is that it's miles ahead of drawing with a mouse.
