Hi guys in linux Mint 17.3 I successfully managed to recognise my tablet by installing the two files libwacom-common_0.11+dfsg-0ubuntu1_all.deb
and libwacom2_0.11+dfsg-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
Files were downloaded at that time from these links which are now dead
[(http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/amd64/libwacom2/download]
[http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/all/libwacom-common/download)]
Recently I did a clean install to 18.2 and I had no success making the same tablet working.
I started by running the command sudo dpkg -i libwacom2_0.11+dfsg-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb libwacom-common_0.11+dfsg-0ubuntu1_all.deb
with the existing files I had...
which probably was a mistake as these packages were compiled for LM17. I didn't get any error though.
The tablet didn't work. I went to Synaptic and there these two packages were reported as broken. I fixed them, did an update and then they were upgraded to versions 0.22
Still the tablet is not working...
At that point I was confused: either my initial mistake to install the old debian packages is the cause or LM 18 is responsible for not making it work.
I tried to uninstall the packages manually but the dependencies do not allow me because thousand other packages (including cinnamon) will be removed. So I never uninstalled them completely! (HOW CAN I DO IT?? IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE??)
Then I found your page and I followed all the steps described here, compiling all the necessary files from scratch. Still no luck!!!
I ran out of ideas! I still have my old LM17.3 installed in the same computer so it's really annoying knowing that it is there working and not here in 18.2...
My LM17.3 had kernel 4.4 and my LM 18.2 has kernel 4.13.
The tablet has a USB ID: 172f:0047 Waltop International Corp.
