Thanks for the info. The LF article is about the Wacom Bamboo, whereas I'm having serious problems with the Wacom Intuos4 (newer, I think - which may be part of the problem.) I've tried the linuxwacom-0.8.3-4 driver in Jaunty and linuxwacom-0.8.2-2 in Hardy, on different machines, so far with no success at all. The hardware is detected (dmesg and lsusb show the Wacom), and the module is shown in lsmod, but there is no entry in /proc/bus/input/devices, and <modinfo -d wacom> reports 'no such device'. (And I have added 'wacom' to /etc/modules.) The result is that the /dev/input/wacom that xorg.conf points to is not being created. In other words, there's no device driver. Result: expensive graphics tablet = lump of lifeless plastic. :-( There are bug reports on Launchpad, and frustrated Intuos4 owners on the forums. I'm near to putting the graphics tablet in a cupboard until a later version of Ubuntu has the right modules and drivers installed. I'm going to download Fedora 11 tomorrow and see whether that's got the right kernel modules and drivers. :-( mac -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
