Joachim Sorry for the late reply, I had no time for Linux fiddling in a while.
Installing 0.7.7-11 under Ubuntu 6.06 worked fine. Since the "Ubuntu success story" does not describe this well, I add a little How To below. The driver works very much better, thanks for the good work. It is now in state where I can use it. Unfortunately, the bug with the "invisible wall" (where the cursor does not move beyond a certain vertical or horizontal line) is NOT 100% fixed. So far I never had it at the top or bottom of the screen. But it happened once on the right hand (just a few millimeter away from the edge - but enough to make a scroll-bar unreachable). And it happens quite frequently on the left side usually between 2 and 5 cm into the screen. My setup includes a relatively large screen (1920x1200). A bit special about my setup is also, that I run a trackball together with the tablet (and even two more pointing devices: a touchpad and the little red stick on an IBM keyboard). All on an AMD 64 bit Ubuntu 6.06 Linux. Regards Hansruedi -- Howto install 0.7.7-11 under Ubuntu 6.06 (a 2.6.15 kernel): Download from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/linuxwacom/linuxwacom-0.7.7-11.tar.bz2 and unpack. Besides the correct kernel sources, one needs to download several more "Something-dev" packages. To find out which ones I simply ran ./configure --enable-wacom where I unpacked the driver. The error messages about missing files are fairly clear. I think I missed (from memory): ncurses-XX-dev xorg-XX-dev tcl-XX-dev tk-XX-dev (where XX is the latest version). After all were downloaded (and lots of dependent packages), configure ran through without error. Then simply do make For Ubuntu 6.06 one only needs the file wacom.ko, the "hid" file seems unnecessary (at least for me). Move the old version of wacom.ko /lib/modules/2.6.XXX/kernel/drivers/usb/input/wacom.ko to a safe place (XXX is the kernel version, in my case a 64 bit 2.6.15.something) and move the new one in its place. Reboot and enjoy.
