However, with one tap of the pen (tap on the tablet, like you tap on a touchpad) a click is done. You can investigate the error after restart by reading /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old, looking for the place where the aiptek pen is loaded.Ĭlicking the buttons on the pen does not work in my case. Now, you can restart the x server and all should be as in the beginning.

In case of an error, Xserver not starting, do the following: Press CTRL+ALT+F4 to open another tty, login, and use your original configuration KERNEL="event*", SYSFS="0010", SYMLINK+="input/aiptektablet" Use gedit (or your favourite editor to create a new file) We replace the files with the downloaded SVN files (I have used revision 190 which worked fine on Feisty):Ĭp xserver-xorg-input-aiptek-1.0.1/src/xf86Aiptek.h xserver-xorg-input-aiptek-1.0.1/src/xf86Aiptek.h.oldĬp xserver-xorg-input-aiptek-1.0.1/src/xf86Aiptek.c xserver-xorg-input-aiptek-1.0.1/src/xf86Aiptek.c.oldĬp xf86Aiptek.c xf86Aiptek.h xserver-xorg-input-aiptek-1.0.1/src/ The last command installed the source in the directory xserver-xorg-input-aiptek-1.0.1.

Sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-input-aiptek We start with adding the present defunct module, and then compile the new one, replacing the old with the result. Sudo cp aiptek.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/input/ Replace the current module with the new one we just compiled:Ĭp /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/input/aiptek.ko aiptek.ko.old Sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-kernel-headers subversion linux-source Open a terminal (applications->accessories->terminal) and enter the command: 24 2007 - original howto replaced by bmcage's new version and luopio's fixesĮnable universe, multiverse repositories in synaptic (in top menu: settings->repositories).
