I've enabled just about every TOUCHSCREEN configuration parameter but nothing. Any suggestions? Where to start?
Current configuration. I know this question seems a bit lame because it's so short, but I don't know where to go from here.

USB and serial are common but serial is dying out now. Its a bit early to look at your kernel until you tell us about your touch screen interface.
If its not in lsusb, we probably need to guess. Regards, NeddySeagoon Computer users fall into two groups:- those that do backups those that have never had a hard drive fail.

I've tried all possible interfaces but without success.

I was hoping to catch someone who's already done it, for this particular model. It doesn't show-up in lsusb.

A quick glance says its serial and wacom.
That can be hours of fun all on its own. Regards, NeddySeagoon Computer users fall into two groups:- those that do backups those that have never had a hard drive fail.

Ubuntu 16.04 certainly does work the stylus but despite hours of poring over diffs of kernel-config, lspci -v and lsmod output, I'm unable to get it going under Gentoo. It's pretty unhelpful that most of the information out there is obsolete, referring to kernel source patches, XF86 and XFConfig modification etc. I don't know where to go from here because most of the information out there is more confusing than helpful. As Ubuntu loads kernel driver wacomw8001 I tried searching for TOUCHSCREENWACOMW8001 but nothing.

I don't know if you have the serial or i2c variant but Code: Wacom Tablet support (I2C) (NEW) is right below it. Regards, NeddySeagoon Computer users fall into two groups:- those that do backups those that have never had a hard drive fail.

Eventually I decided I just had to get the stylus working, by any means. So I copied the kernel.config off the Ubuntu DVD and built my kernel against it. I'd forgotten just how long it takes to build a `full' kernel as opposed to one stripped-down for ones own hardware. Anyway, several hours later, install and go,. It still doesn't work! This is not some post-boot configuration error.
When booted from the Ubuntu DVD, the wacomw8001 driver was loaded and the stylus worked, but when booted from Gentoo kernel built against the Ubuntu.config, no wacom. driver was loaded, leading me to conclude that the hardware was not detected. If I modprobe wacomw8001, no new /dev/input/.
device appears. I made a few changes to the Ubuntu.config:. make oldconfig and say no to everything. 32 bits not 64.
Core2 CPU. systemd init not openrc.
tweaks for Gentoo and portage (whatever they are). build my libata driver (Intel) into the kernel to avoid having an initrdbut otherwise it was.config as per Ubuntu. Any ideas on where to go now?

It started working after I enabled multitouch in de kernel config: CONFIGHIDMULTITOUCH=y Thanks but that's not for Wacom tablets. I did try it anyway though, just in case.
