Hi Gilles,

I am curious how you got the wacom tablet to work as a pen and
not as a mouse without writing any driver code.

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.
