How's this for a hoot? I just ran Dapper from a live CD, and the Intuos4 worked immediately! I nearly fell off the chair laughing. However, a bit of experimenting indicated it was working as a mouse rather than as a graphics tablet (but I was able to draw lines in GIMP, which was a bit of a relief: I was beginning to worry about the hardware!) The Dapper xorg.conf points to /dev/wacom by default (which doesn't exist in /dev), and advises changing this to /dev/input/event 'for USB' (so I guess the Wacoms at the time were mainly serial). Sadly, making the change doesn't seem to make any difference - stylus still works like a mouse, and eraser draws instead of erasing. When I try to configure Extended Input Devices in GIMP, GIMP says there are none attached; so I it looks like Dapper just thinks the Wacom is a mouse. I guess the problem is still the drivers. I'm at the edge of my knowledge with drivers and kernel modules, and can really only do copy/paste from a HowTo (and hope the writer knows what s/he is talking about). So any advice, or URLs for trustworthy HowTos, would be very welcome. mac -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
