I suggest you install Hardy 8.04, and have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1038949 This installs the stable linuxwacom-0.8.2.2 driver, which should work OK with 8.04. (Favux's post briefly discusses various issues with driver versions and version of Ubuntu.) BUT at step 6 DON'T do sudo cp ./src/2.6.27/wacom.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko rather DO sudo cp ./src/2.6.24/wacom.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko because the Hardy kernel is 2.6.24 not 2.6.27. (This line is copying a file from the appropriate folder in linuxwacom-0.8.2-2/src/, and the various folders have the names of the kernel versions.) And use the xorg.conf sections I posted to you in the 'wacom bamboo' thread, rather than the one used in Favux's Ubuntu Forums HowTo. Favux uses /dev/input/by-path, and the screen coordinates (TopX, TopY, BottomX, BottomY) for an HP TX2000. Your Bamboo doesn't need them, and they'll cause confusion. So just insert my 4 wacom sections near the start of xorg.conf, and my ServerLayout section at the end. If you get completely stuck, contact me off list and we can arrange to discuss by phone. mac -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
