I was asked some little time ago to report on how my efforts to set up the Bamboo tablet progressed. As mentioned in an earlier post, I changed my operating system from 9.04 to 8.04 primarily because I am not capable of using HAL. With a great deal of help from a non-Ubuntu user, the Bamboo, as far as I can tell, is fully operative with the stylus, all the buttons and the circle working. For what I do, using Gimp, I have shift and ctrl on separate buttons and the circle gives zoom. One button on the stylus works as right click on a mouse and the other grabs the image and moves it around within the window. At the moment, one of the buttons on the tablet works as left click and the other as right click. I hope to change at least one of these to Gimp's Edit delete.
What I am trying to achieve is to be able to use the tablet most of the time when working with Gimp, leaving the keyboard mainly for the entering of text. Finally, I must add that I believe the effort has been well worth while. Norman -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
