    I need to use my tablet with GIMP for some light photo editing at work on my Aspire One... I downloaded the LinuxWacom and Wdaemon for hot swapping the tablet, both from the official packages repo under add/remove programs successfully, but I can't find any settings anywhere in my system, and the tablet doesn't work, on recognized in terminal as a "Wacom Corp." or something.

    I have a demonoid invite for anyone who can help me out. Thanks in advance.

    There's a pretty detailed Linux Wacom Project HOWTO available, which I'm sure you're already aware of. Wacom themselves seem a rather M$Windows-centric outfit, so you'll probably have to contact the Linux Wacom Project directly for support. Bonne chance.

    PS. Obviously the Intuos is more feature rich, but if it's only light gimp work perhaps a simple handheld stylus and the built-in touchpad would do?

    I'm wondering does anyone solve this problem?
    I've read the HowTo and try many many times but still unsuccessful to install wacom driver. :|
    I ask the author of LinuxWacom but unfortunately he doesn't have a Linpus Lite to test with...
    so It'd be helpful if people can share their experiences here...

    I tried:
    1)use add/remove application to install LinuxWacom and wdaemon --not work
    2)manually install LinuxWacom with copy and paste the wacom_drv.so to usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/ and run the ./install,
    than add the following codes to xorg.conf -- show many errors after reboot...
    Code:
    Section "InputDevice"
      Driver        "wacom"
      Identifier    "stylus"
      Option        "Device"        "/dev/input/event0"   # USB ONLY
      Option        "Type"          "stylus"
      Option        "USB"           "on"                  # USB ONLY
    EndSection
    
    Section "InputDevice"
      Driver        "wacom"
      Identifier    "eraser"
      Option        "Device"        "/dev/input/event0"   # USB ONLY
      Option        "Type"          "eraser"
      Option        "USB"           "on"                  # USB ONLY
    EndSection
    
    Section "InputDevice"
      Driver        "wacom"
      Identifier    "cursor"
      Option        "Device"        "/dev/input/event0"   # USB ONLY
      Option        "Type"          "cursor"
      Option        "USB"           "on"                  # USB ONLY
    EndSection
    3)Try to correct the codes but still fail
    I guess there are something wrong with the xorg.conf setting...maybe the device option but I don't know... :(
    any suggestion?
