After the installs, they both booted successfully from the ssd. I did manage to install OpenSuse, and then removed OpenSuse and installed Debian and removed Debian. My first attempt at installing Gentoo on the new machine failed because after booting up, the minimal Gentoo install "cd on a usb key" couldn't find the install files to actually perform the installation (there is no CD/DVD device in the machine, so installing from an actual CD is not an option). I built this machine, so Windows has never been installed and dual-booting is not a concern. I used the rescue cd burned to a USB key to install Gentoo. I don't know enough about the boot process to even try to give relevant information.

Nor does "modprobe wacom" do anything (not sure if there is supposed to be any terminal output). "xsetwacom -list devices" doesn't list anything. usb 3-4.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 3-4.1: New USB device found, idVendor=056a, idProduct=00de usb 3-4.1: new full-speed USB device number 6 using xhci_hcd usb 3-4.1: USB disconnect, device number 5 When I unplug and plug in the Wacom tablet, dmesg | tail says: Code: I don't think I had "dev-libs/libwacom" installed on the old machine, but I think maybe the "input_devices_wacom" use flag pulls it in? Or maybe putting "wacom" in nf in INPUT_DEVICES? Per forum advice, I added "x11-base/xorg-drivers input_devices_wacom", but it didn't help. In e (same as the old machine) the xorg-server use flags are: "x11-base/xorg-server suid udev". I've also tried various combinations of "evdev wacom mouse keyboard" for INPUT_DEVICES. Which corresponds to what the old nf says, except the old AMD machine had an nvidia graphics card. But here is possibly Wacom-relevant information: The bios is set to "legacy" for everything, but I think maybe Gentoo is trying to boot using that uefi thing, and I wasn't sure what to do during the install when it said to add modules to some conf file.Īny help getting the Wacom tablet recognized, and/or getting Gentoo to boot without having to use a rescue cd, is very much appreciated. I wasn't able to do "grub2-mkconfig" during the initial installation. Unlike the old Gentoo install, on the new machine I'm using genkernel and grub2, which might be related to both issues. As with the old machine, I'm running Icewm and "startx", with a mix of kde and gtk apps (kitless and gnome-free), using eudev and openrc. I have the world file and portage files from the old machine, so I was able to install all the software that I had installed on the old machine, with all the same USE flags. I'm having to boot from a systemrescue"cd" on a USB key (there's no CD/DVD player on the new machine), or else I can't get to my desktop because X doesn't start. My Wacom Bamboo tablet isn't recognized (this computer is for image editing, so having the tablet work is pretty important).Ģ. That computer stopped working and I'm trying to get Gentoo running on a newly-built Intel core i7 machine, but I'm having a couple of issues:ġ. I had Gentoo running nicely on my ten-year-old AMD computer. Posted: Tue 1:15 am Post subject: wacom tablet not recognized, need rescuecd for xorg
