Hi all,
I have a Thinkpad X1 Yoga. While this is not a tablet, its digitizer should
be equivalent to the one in recent Lenovo tablets. I'm very happy with how it
works with Xournal under Linux. In fact, handwriting feels more natural than
on my 7-year-old HP convertible with Wacom EMR. There are a few hardware
issues that are only noticeable if you look for them: drawing _very_ slowly
results in jittery lines, and diagonal straight lines drawn with a ruler are
not perfectly straight (there are small "bumps" at regular intervals). These
are well-known drawbacks of the Wacom AES technology, AFAIK. On the other
hand, palm rejection is close to perfect. It took me some time to figure out
how to make sure that two stylus buttons work the way I like them to. Turns
out that they are not buttons 2 and 3, but rather eraser and button 2. Lower
button works on contact only, while the top one activates during hover as
well.
Concerning the setup, I run Debian 8.3 stable ("jessie") with kernel 4.5.1 and
Intel X.org driver taken from "jessie-backports". The only thing I had to
manually recompile was Wacom kernel module. I also had to manually include
nvme.ko module into the initramfs image in order to be able to boot.
Everything else that matters worked out of the box. Didn't play with
accelerometer yet.
Best,
--- Alex.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
