You will require xorg.conf modifications for the tablet to work. Since you're not installing one of ubuntu's packages this won't be done for you.
The official howto (http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/main) is very good, but I will include a sample of my xorg.conf below. I don't suggest you copy it verbatim, I have an intuos3 9x12 (A4) so most things should be the same, but there are values obtained from trial and error that may not be to your liking. You will note the howto references a 'cursor' device, you only need it if your tablet came with a mouse. Mine didn't, so I left it out. -- /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- Section "ServerLayout" InputDevice "stylus0" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "eraser0" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "pad" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "stylus0" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "stylus" Option "USB" "on" Option "Mode" "Absolute" Option "SendDragEvents" "true" Option "DeviceName" "Stylus" Option "Threshold" "96" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "eraser0" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "eraser" Option "USB" "on" Option "Mode" "Absolute" Option "SendDragEvents" "true" Option "DeviceName" "Eraser" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "pad" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "pad" Option "USB" "on" EndSection -- -- Make sure, even if you don't normally have a mouse plugged in, you have a mouse configured. If your tablet is the first core input device you will lose pressure sensitivity. You can stop X from complaining about lack of a mouse on startup by adding this to xorg.conf: -- -- Section "ServerFlags" Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "true" EndSection -- -- Expresskeys (http://freshmeat.net/projects/wacomexpresskeys/) will allow you to program the touch strips to button/mouse events, recommended you install it also. Hopefully some of this helped. --Thomas On Thursday 02 November 2006 9:26 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi all.
