I recently bought a #Wacom #DrawingTablet for my #Laptop. As with other #Hardware or #Peripherals that has been around for a while, there is no need to download and #drivers for it under #GNU #Linux as it's detected automatically and everything just works without any fuss. #Programs such as #Xournal++ detect variations in #PenPressure and draws lines of varying thickness depending upon it. It's taking practice but the results are quite precise in terms of position too. This will make both note taking and calculations during seminars much better.

I finally got around to dist-upgrade my Fujitsu T5010 to Debian 12 (bookworm), but it has broken the Wacom serial stylus. My guess is that there's some boot or X setting to make it "scan" the serial port for old Wacom devices.

Here's what xinput looks like for another T5010 which is still on Debian 11 (buster):

kuo@elsa:~$ xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Serial Wacom Tablet FUJ02e5 stylus id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Serial Wacom Tablet FUJ02e5 eraser id=15 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Fujitsu FUJ02E3 id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Fujitsu FUJ02BF id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]

and here's what it looks like on my Debian 12 T5010:

kuo@rapunzel:~$ xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Fujitsu FUJ02E3 id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Fujitsu FUJ02BF id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]

As you can see, the Serial Wacom Tablet FUJ02e5 stylus and eraser are missing. I'm not sure where to start trying to troubleshoot this.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
