OK... It's a voluntarily provocative subject... but this is my recent
experience :
1) Plug a Wacom Bamboo Pen on a running OpenSolaris machine (OSol b134)
and it works out of the box as an HID pointing device. Didn't need to do
anything AT ALL.
2) Plug the same Wacom Bamboo Pen on a Ubuntu laptop and nothing
happens. (I do get an "HID device registered" message in
/var/log/messages but nothing in terms of activity on screen, not even
after a reboot).
So... Who says Linux is better than Solaris in terms of drivers? :)
Now I need to find myself a real graphic application that understands
pressure tablets...
Cheers,
Gilles.
