Hey Wade, sounds great! Unfortunately I'm not having any luck here with an XO running 8.2-767 and an Intuos model Wacom tablet. Any one else had any success? BTW: After yum has installed linuxwacom.i386 0:0.7.9.8-6.fc9, the additions to xorg-dcon.conf made, and a reboot just to make sure – If I go look in /dev/input/ I still see no wacom device listed. --Gary > On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 12:34 AM, Tomeu Vizoso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: >> [adding sugar-devel to cc as it's of interest to other platforms >> than olpc] >> >> On Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 10:52 PM, Chris Marshall >> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >>>> wade wrote: >>>>> I'm partly set up to build kernels, I can give it a try at some >>>>> point. >>>>> >>>>> Ultimately though, just mouse position and clicking isn't nearly >>>>> enough.
