Follow the instructions at linuxslate.org. The most progress I've made so far is to have the pen move the cursor around on the screen, albeit in a very erratic pattern. I exchanged a few emails with the linuxslate guy and he thinks it may just be that Finepoint added pressure sensitive data to the new protocol that's why the old drivers on his site don't work too well. Kindly let me know if you have it working now... I'm also eager to get tablet functionality back. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/FinePoint--OT--tf2235721.html#a6412635 Sent from the linuxwacom-discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
