I wasn't sure what is meant by gfx tablet but I've been using a Wacom tablet for quite a while now (since Mandrake7.2). As of Mandrake8.2 they got autoconfigured at install time, and that includes Mdk10.0-beta1 I discovered today;) I can only recommend (a serial) Wacom, they're expensive but worth every cent if you're planning to make more use of it than just a mouse substitute. The smaller, cheaper especially USB tablets are trouble prone with linux (this includes the AIPTEKS) and actually coarser to handle than a trackball for instance. Of course the cheap ones will do fine as a mouse substitute, that's only click and point, heh:) Good luck, HarM -- Registered Linux User #197998 FSF Associate Member #901 ICQ #146191606 Mandrake HowTo's & more: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
