[ILUG] Wacom graphics tablet

[ILUG] Wacom graphics tablet

Hi,

I've been trying to get a Wacom graphics tablet (Volito2) working with a 
Mandrake 10.1 machine. The linux-wacom list is a bit quiet at the moment, 
which is why I'm asking here.

There is support for the tablet in the latest version of the linux-wacom 
driver and kernel module. However, I'm having problems getting the kernel 
module to build properly.

./configure seems to work fine.

make, on the other hand, works fine up to a point, before spewing out [1].

One suggestion was that wacom tablet support hadn't been configured as a 
module in my kernel, but that doesn't appear to be it (on checking, it 
appears the appropriate module was configured). In terms of understanding the 
make output, I'm not sure whether it's something to do with the note about 
modules, the later error concerning an undeclared identifier, or both, that 
are causing me problems, and how I might find out.

Any pointers appreciated.

Marek.
