Hello dear Linux friends.

I'm an X1000 User and I'm now going to start testings under Linux.

Main focus is going to be Art packages and the support of gfx Tablets.

I got a few cool tablets to test

I would love to know if the Wacom Drivers (Wacom Linux Project)
are part of the Ubuntu LTS 14.04 Distribution for X1000.
I know that since version 13 they are part of the x86 Distros.

Hi z!Erec,

Unfortunately I don't have any knowledge about Wacom gfx tablets but I will try to add some kernel modules for these to the RC1 of kernel 4.3 tomorrow.

Have a nice weekend!

Cheers,

Christian

Hi z!Erec,

I released two Linux kernels with Wacom pen gfx tablets support.

Downloads:

Stable Linux kernel 4.1.7: vmlinux-4.1.7-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2
Test Linux kernel 4.3-rc1: vmlinux-4.3-rc1-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2

Please test both kernels.

Cheers,

Christian

Hello Christian.

I'm going to test those kernels.

Recently i buy second hand wacom cintiq 13HD and i use in pc but i want to test in my X1000 with linux also..
Can you add suppor for wacom cintiq 13HD in our linux ppc with GUI configuration?
this is good because the cintiq need be calibrated for correct use

Hi José,

I have already added Wacom pen gfx tablets support to the kernel. Please note: I don't have any knowledge about Wacom gfx tablets. That means I need your help with testing etc etc.

Cheers,

Christian

Hello Christian.
I need install the Ubuntu for test the cintiq and look if the preferences panel appear in Ubuntu because in debian the Cintiq 13Hd driver work but we need the Gui preferences panel and in debian this menu not appear in the preferences panel and calibration option is very important.

Jose

Hi Jose,

You don't need to install Ubuntu for testing the Wacom Cintiq support. You only need to copy one of Julian's images to a USB flash drive and boot from.

Instructions and links:

• Ubuntu 16.04 PowerPC base image
• Image of the final beta for the AmigaONE X1000 with Radeon HD Southern Islands graphics cards
• Image of the final beta for the AmigaONE X1000 with Radeon HD Northern Islands graphics cards

1. Download the image from the links above
2. Decompress the downloaded image with 7-Zip
3. Copy it with dd on Linux or with the USB image Tool on Windows to a USB flash drive.
   
   For example with Linux and the Ubuntu-Mate_16.04.img:
   

   Code: Select all

   dd if=Ubuntu-Mate_16.04.img of=disk drive ID

   In my case /dev/sdh:
   

   Code: Select all

   dd if=Ubuntu-Mate_16.04.img of=/dev/sdh

4. Reinsert the USB flash drive. The system will mount all partitions on the USB flash drive
5. Turn on the AmigaONE X1000 and press F to enter the CFE prompt. Insert the USB flash drive.
6. Next enter the following at the CFE> prompt (pressing enter after each line):
   

   Code: Select all

   setenv bootargs "root=the_ROOT_partition_on_your_usb_flash_drive quiet ro splash rootdelay=5"

   In my case:
   

   Code: Select all

   setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdd2 quiet ro splash rootdelay=5"

   I use the stable longterm kernel 4.1.20 on my CF card to boot ubuntu MATE 16.04 on the USB flash drive. You can use an other kernel if you like.
   

   Code: Select all

   boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.1

7. The ubuntu MATE login screen appears. Please login.
   
   Username of amigaone has the password amigaone

Please try it.

Cheers,

Christian
