Wacom pen input/touchscreen problems on Lenovo X220 Tablet

https://bbs.archlinux.org – Recently my touchscreen and pen input on my Lenovo X220 tablet have stopped working. Browsing on the forums, I found this post which seemed to document my exact problem. It recommended to downgrade to the 3.4.9 Linux kernel and to uninstall and reinstall the xf86-input-wacom package. I've followed both of these steps, but to no avail: the pen and touchscreen have no effect on my computer. Additionally, the wacom driver is no longer loaded during bootup (lsmod | grep wacom results in nothing), and it is not even mentioned in dmesg (using dmesg | grep -i wacom). However, the device is prese (HowTos)

Hi, i don't know if i can help or not. But i just bought the CTH-470(M) today and have it working in Archlinux.As far as packages relating to Wacom,  i am using the xf86-input-wacom-git, libwacom, wacom-utility and wacom-udev packages in the AUR.

This tutorial will show you how to install wacom tablet drivers on Ubuntu 12.04, 11.10 and 11.04 to make your wacom work properly.

[ubuntu] Wacom tablet help? 21 weeks 6 days ago

I have an old Wacom CTE-440 and Bamboo Fun tablets. I've tried installing the driver for them, file name "xf86-input-wacom-0.17.0", yet I don't know how to successfully get it to work.

Wacom Bamboo stops working 10 weeks 1 day ago

Hello fellow archers,I have a Bamboo Pen CTH470 and it works fine for a while until it stops working for no reason.

[ubuntu] Wacom on Fujitsu T902 36 weeks 3 days ago

Just got a new Fujitsu T902 and everything works out of the box with latest Precise except for the pen (stylus).

lsusb returns

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 056a:0101 Wacom Co., Ltd

but all of the following return nothing

fgrep -i wacom /var/log/Xorg.0.log xsetwacom --list devices xinput | grep -i wacom

Any ideas where to start?

Thanks.

In ubuntu 11.10 with xorg-1:7.6+7ubuntu7 and xserver-xorg-input-wacom 1:0.11.0-0ubuntu2

I've put in xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "pen" # "eraser"|"finger"|"pad" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "stylus" # "eraser"|"touch"|"pad" Option "Floating" "on" Option "Mode" "Absolute" Option

I've been getting by with the basic two finger scroll and tap to click on my wacom based touchscreen laptop for a few years. I recently installed windows 7 onto it so that I could run some of the windows only firmware updates and found the touchscreen experience much more useable.

Hello,

I have a problem with autoconnecting/hotplug the Wacom (Bamboo, model MTE-450A). After a reboot the leds on the buttons are flashing and the tablet doesn't work, to get it to work I need to reconnect the USB cable to the tablet.

The system does recognize the Wacom, lsusb lists it but dmesg gives somewhat of a error during startup:

Hello, I still use 10.04, because I can only get certain scientific programs to run on Lucid.
