I need to be able to make drawings dirctly into a program, and think a digitizer-drawing-pad-thing might do the trick. But theese things often comes with drivers that only work with windows. So, I would like to know if any of you have hands-on-experience using a tool of this kind, with Ubuntu. (which device, which program, etc.) Thanx in advance (by the loads) -- Tom Rausner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Tom, I just tried this by plugging my Wacom tablet into a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 install. It "just worked," meaning it immediately allowed me to use the tablet to control the mouse cursor in X. I fired up the GIMP, opened Preferences-> Input Devices-> Configure Extended Input Devices and set the device from "Macintosh mouse button emulation" to "Wacom Graphire3," clicked save and close, and now I seem to have pressure sensitivity with the paintbrush tool. I'd say it works. FWIW, the tablet's model number is CTE-430, which I believe is a Graphire3. It is USB. I checked Synaptic, and I already had the xserver-xorg-input-wacom package installed, but not wacom-tools. Hope this helps!
