I don't actually have to do anything for Ubuntu Gutsy to recognize the Genius WizardPen. Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy recognizes the tablet easily on just plugging it in. Maybe I was a bit vague when I said it doesn't work at all. The big problem is that Ubuntu Gutsy recognizes the tablet and even the buttons on the side of the pen work, (Try hovering the cursor over any button using the mouse to guide it and then tap the pen on the tablet and you get a response.) BUT the cursor does not move at all. If you really need to use your Wizard pen I suggest using Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty. I don't know really how this bug report and bug fixing thing works (I've never really found a good solution to fix a problem from the forums or even had a response that worked) but it seems tablet support is a low priority for Ubuntu developers which is really disappointing since If you have to use a graphics application like Gimp and sometimes I use the pen in Blender for the sculpt mode and the pen doesn't work then it makes Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy pretty useless to me. Also I was mistaken about the pressure of the pen working in Ubuntu Feisty, it doesn't. I was thinking of when I was also using it in Windows.
