WizardPen Graphics Tablet And Debian

WizardPen Graphics Tablet And Debian

this is how to get the budget Trust TB-5300 graphics tablet working with debian (this should now worth with debian wheezy out of the box)



my graphics tablet according to dmesg is

uclogic 0003:5543:0004.0007: input,hidraw4: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [UC-LOGIC Tablet WP5540U] on usb-0000:00:13.3-2/input0

and lsusb says 

Bus 005 Device 004: ID 5543:0004 UC-Logic Technology Corp. Tablet WP5540U

First I need to install some build tools and dependency's

# sudo apt-get install xutils libx11-dev libxext-dev build-essential \
xautomation xinput xserver-xorg-dev xutils-dev libtool autoconf bzr

now to get the latest code

 # cd wizardpen

# bzr branch lp:wizardpen

then we build the config scripts

# ./autogen.sh

configure, build and install

# ./configure && make && sudo make install

and restart

then plug in the tablet and it should work out of the box

this should work for any Linux distro as it's building from source
but I've only tested with Debian 6/Testing
