sorry, the forum shortened the urls

Once again, it says that it couldn't find anything...

Although, two of those steps you gave me didn't do anything, as far as I could tell.

can you give me the console output from the last atempt??????


this is what you should see

I don't have it anymore; I restarted the computer...

Should I try to do it all over again?

yes, if the mkdir command returns file exists then it made the dir previously.

mkdir: cannot create directory `wacomdrv': File exists

And yet, all of that stuff still shows up. But this one wasn't the problem...

you also have to hit enter after you past it to run the last command
now

this command has to be run by itself or you will past the rest into the sudo commands password prompt lol


I had to link it to a file because there was tooooooo much text.

this is what should come out of all that mess

I'm done for tonight. I'll try it tomorrow, maybe. But for now, I don't feel like messing with it anymore.

I found libwacom course
vary important:
copy in peaces, stop after a line starting with sudo so that you don't loose the rest into it's password prompt.
I put an empty line under the sudo lines so you can see where to stop copying, run those commands then move on to the next part and you should be good.

Yeah it didn't work...

I hadn't done the thing you posted before yet, though... I just tried it now, but... it's not doing anything...

If I could just use this thing as a mouse, that'd be great- not the most ideal, but just tops compared to where I am now. I don't know how to even achieve that much, however...
