Matt, All I did was plug it in. It uses software to match pad size to screen size. Some of the Wacom's seem to have buttons to do this (just from the pictures I've seen and what I've been told).
I'm using Mandrake 10.0 Official. If you get your's going properly (and same here) let me know. I could be in the market for a second-hand Wacom pad - I've been using this for two years and there's NO-WAY I'd go back to a mouse for graphic work... Just have to keep my other O/S going. The major problem is that Photoshop is VERY resource hungry and so I'd have to keep it on my fastest machine and thus couldn't run Linux to it's best ability :( -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 7 October 2004 1:53 PM To: Elliott-Brennan Cc: 'Kevin Waterson'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SLUG] Graphic tablet - 'found' driver ?needhelpunderstanding:) On Thu, Oct 07, 2004 at 08:31:53AM +1000, Elliott-Brennan wrote: > Well, you are having more success than I with a Wacom Tablet.

Wacom say they supply the developers at linuxwacom.sourceforge.net hardware and info.
