Win 7 driver for Fujitsu Lifebook A6030's Wacom digitizer pad

[Man-wai Chang]

I tried the Vi$ta driver, it said "Platform Not Supported".
Setting compatibility of the driver to Vi$ta, same error message.

I suspected I could find the driver from Wacom's site, but I dunno which
device to choose.

Help would be appreciated

When I select A6030 from here...

I see a "Pointing" driver. It's for an Alps brand touchpad. And the
driver seems to be for a 64 bit OS (Vista64, WinXP64).

http://solutions.us.fujitsu.com/downloads/mobile/POINTING_ALPS_V7.100.401.3_FPC46-1433-01.EXE

I also see a "Point and Write Pad" driver. It's for a Wacom brand device
(Flat Point Digitizer).

http://solutions.us.fujitsu.com/downloads/mobile/DIGITIZER_WACOM_V5.01-9_FPC46-1433-01.EXE

If I look in there (in the INF files), I see a bunch of USB devices.

You need to look at your USB devices (with lsusb in Linux or
UVCView.x86.exe in Windows), to decide which one of those you've got.
Then, you can try here for a driver.

http://www.wacom.com/downloads/drivers.php

Some of the Wacom USB devices are listed here, so you can translate
from a PID, to a product name. It's possible Wacom doesn't offer
drivers for everything it makes, on the wacom.com web site.

After a lot of searching, testing and failures, I finally found this one
that worked:

Dam... forgot about Linux's lsusb.... My bad ...

Looking in that driver you got, in the wacomhidfilter.inf
file, it has the same sort of device list as the original drivers.
So that appears to be the right kind of driver package.

"Wacom CintiqPartner" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_0003
"Wacom PenPartner" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_0000
"Wacom PenPartner Engineering Sample 1" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_0400
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_0090
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_0091
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_0092
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_0093&MI_00
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_0093&MI_01
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_0094
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_0095
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_0096
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_0097
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_0098
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_0099
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_009A
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_009B
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_009C
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_009D
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_009E
"Wacom USB ISD" = WHF_Install, USB\VID_056A&PID_009F

So now you'll be able to sign your name with the stylus.

And Wacom didn't bother to provide a Win 7 driver for this "PenPartner".
Should there be Window$ 8, this device would possibly not going to work.

Oh.. I tried the Win 7 driver for the set of tablets that included
Cintiq 17SX, it worked!!

I had just tried the lsusb command after booting the A6030 with
SystemRescueCD. Nothing related to "wacom" or "tablet" was listed.

I then tried lspci and lsmod. Still nothing related could be found.

I was expecting to see something with a VID of 056A.

As far as I know, devices like that are HID (human interface devices),
so more like a serial port than anything else. When the driver installs,
it installs a "filter" driver, which interprets the stream of info
coming from the HID, and gives tablet/touchpad functionality (recognize
gestures and so on).

But in order for the driver to install in Windows, it should still
be looking at the Plug and Play information. I expect that thing is
USB at the hardware level, but it could also be RS232 and connected
to a serial port on the SuperI/O.

Since you got your driver package to install in Windows, using "Properties"
in Device Manager in Windows and looking at the Hardware_ID in Properties,
might also give you a hint of what to look for.
