You should. The Cintiq needs a modern driver, and there are precompiled X modules in the package for several kernels. > We have installed RHEL 3 Update 7 onto a workstation. > > We have plugged the WACOM Cintiq 21UX device into both the USB and Video > Ports.

The only thing you'd really compile from a new tarball is the user space tools, xsetwacom etc. As I said, precompiled X modules exist.

Someone help this man. And to get the 'pad' device working, see my project page at http://freshmeat.net/projects/wacomexpresskeys Mvh Mats Johannesson ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
