Wacom Intuos3 not working in SuSE Linux 9.3

Problem
My Wacom Intuos3 doesn't work properly in SuSE Linux 9.3. The cursor (mouse) and stylus (pen) do not respond to my settings. The command xidump returns:
linux:~>xidump stylus X Error: 154 BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device Unable to open input device 'stylus'
The file /var/log/Xorg.0.log contains the following lines:
...

- (20050730) Here's a link of someone with the same question
- (20050730) From this url it seems kernel 2.6.11 and linuxwacom-0.6.8 should be able to run together. So no reason not to compile?
- (20050808) Here's someone with the same question.
Dead end (XF86 build environment)
- (20050817) Unable to find the XF86 build environment or Xorg SDK. Here's someone with the same problem. Never mind. See this page. XF86 build environment is not needed since wacom_drv.o is already in the ./prebuilt directory of the linuxwacom sources.
Main
- (Another compilation warning: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.4-20a/Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no modversions. Installed kernel-syms-2.6.11.4 package.
- (20050819) Built driver. Replaced old driver 19284 Jun 2 23:01 wacom.ko with new driver 147682 Aug 19 22:38 wacom.ko.
- Plugged in the tablet. This is what came up in /var/log/messages:
Aug 19 22:43:32 linux kernel: ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: wakeup Aug 19 22:43:33 linux kernel: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 Aug 19 22:43:34 linux kernel: usbcore: registered new driver hiddev Aug 19 22:43:34 linux kernel: input,hiddev96: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Tablet PTZ-630] on usb-0000:00:02.1-2 Aug 19 22:43:34 linux kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usbhid Aug 19 22:43:34 linux kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.01:USB HID core driver
so apparently wacom driver did not get control
- Issued command ./configure --enable-hid --enable-mousedev --enable-evdev --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux/kernel. Got error: configure: error: "Unable to find /usr/src/linux/kernel/include/linux/input.h". Found input.h in another directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.4-20a but uname -r says 2.6.11.4-21.7-default so that's no good I suppose. SuSE's YaST allows upgrading kernel to 2.6.11.4-21.8 so let's try to get the sources from there. Made sure to deselect checkbox "Remove Source Packages after Update".
Dead end (compiling Module.symvers)
- Module.symvers missing again. Downloaded kernel-syms-2.6.11.4-21.8.i586.rpm, but rpm -qpl kernel-syms-2.6.11.4-21.8.i586.rpm makes me clear no sources are supplied by this package.
- (20050820) Found source package kernel-syms-2.6.11.4-21.8.src.rpm at the same ftp site. Now only if I could find out how to extract them. This looks useful: Chapter 34 Compiling SuSE Source Packages. Source file is here as well.
- Had to use rpmbuild -bp instead of rpm -bp.
- rpm -bp kernel-syms.spec gave me error kernel-dummy is needed by kernel-syms-2.6.11.4-21.8. Changed command to: rpmbuild -bp --nodeps kernel-syms.spec but still no sign of Modules.symvers. Am I stuck? Maybe should try reinstalling YaST to get kernel-syms, since YAST yields segmentation fault when trying to install things. Solved YaST No Longer Works in SUSE LINUX 9.3 on the fly.
- I'm on a dead end trying to retrieve Module.symvers. According to this page I should just copy it from binary to source dir?
Main
- Command ./configure --enable-wacom;make now gives error Makefile:494: .config: No such file or directory. Found solution here:
cd /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig make modules_prepare
- Plugged in the tablet again:
Aug 20 12:57:49 linux kernel: ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: wakeup Aug 20 12:57:50 linux kernel: usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 Aug 20 12:57:51 linux kernel: usbcore: registered new driver hiddev Aug 20 12:57:51 linux kernel: input,hiddev96: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Tablet PTZ-630] on usb-0000:00:02.1-2 Aug 20 12:57:51 linux kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usbhid Aug 20 12:57:51 linux kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.01:USB HID core driver
- ./configure --enable-hid --enable-mousedev --enable-evdev --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux;make gives error Makefile:69: *** You requested to build mousedev with configure, but mousedev is not a module in your kernel config. Stop. Solution: left out the --enable-mousedev
- Copied drivers (after making backup)
cp usbhid.ko /lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.8-smp/kernel/drivers/usb/input/usbhid.ko cp evdev.ko /lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.8-smp/kernel/drivers/input/evdev.ko reboot
- Saw startup errors passing by:
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting evdev () invalid module format
- and /var/log/messages contains warnings:
Aug 20 13:22:05 linux kernel: evdev: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module Aug 20 13:22:05 linux kernel: usbhid: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module Aug 20 13:22:05 linux kernel: wacom: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
- Trief rebooting with GRUB Boot option 'nosmp' but starting up now becomes *very* slow while receiving startup messages hda: lost interrupt.
- Might the invalid module format be caused because I copied Module.symvers from /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.4-21.7-obj/i386/default/Module.symvers whereas I should've taken /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.4-21.7-obj/i386/smp/Module.symvers, because uname -r says 2.6.11.4-21.8-smp. (Shouldn't have used outdated locatedb but find instead)
- Error make: ./bin/sh: line 0: cd: src: No such file or directory. Solution: use su - instead of just su.
- ./configure --enable-hid --enable-evdev --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux
- Plugged in the tablet and look at /var/log/messages :-), some errors but detected:

- (20050822) Tested my USB digital camera because of the usbhid errors, but the camera connection still works.
- (20050827) uname -r is reporting 2.6.11.4-21.8-smp but I whish to have the default kernel since I don't have a multiprocessor machine and because the subject was raised on the linuxwacom mailing list. I must've installed something wrong during the whole process. How do I change to the default kernel again? Answer: just deselect the package in YaST. Of course, the Intuos3 now isn't working anymore... Into the whole process again.

- (20050827) modprobe 'invalid module format' errors during startup and from /var/log/messages it appears I've still compiled the modules with smp-settings, where it should've been 'default'?
- (20050829) Copied wacom_drv.ko as well.
cp /home/freddy/linuxwacom-0.6.8/prebuilt/wacom_drv.o_6.8k2.6 /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/wacom_drv.o
When plugging in tablet while computer is running, tablet is not responding and /var/log/messages contains messages:
Aug 29 15:26:53 linux kernel: usbhid: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag.

- Reboot. Tablet is working again. Boot message however:
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting usbhid (/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.8-default/kernel/drivers/usb/input/usbhid.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
But /var/log/messages contains errors(?):

- (20050903) I'm going to compile linuxwacom-0.6.9 to get rid of the errors.
