After that the magic thing was to realize that the wacom device is attached to /dev/ttyS1 (pointed out but a commenter on one of my other posts here). The following lines are the relevant part from my xorg.conf: ----8<---- Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "stylus" #Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS1" Option "Type" "stylus" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection
Nice to hear it worked! I use Xournal to take notes, it's just a notetaking app so mure suitable than Gimp. You should switch on "Xinput" in the menus to enable use of the higher resolution of the wacom device.
I had some strange vectoring problem which settled after a few minutes of use - much like the mouse problem. I'm interested to hear about your experience!

How did you get the wacom tablet to work? I have been trying but so far no luck (also on Ubuntu Gutsy).
I installed the following wacom related packages:
wacom-tools
xserver-xorg-input-wacom
After that the magic thing was to realize that the wacom device is attached to /dev/ttyS1 (pointed out but a commenter on one of my other posts here). The following lines are the relevant part from my xorg.conf:
----8<----
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "stylus"
#Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS1"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "eraser"
#Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS1"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "cursor"
#Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS1"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection
----%<----
These inputs must then also be mentioned in the serverlayout:
----%<----
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
Screen "Default Screen"
EndSection
----%----
That should be all.
Thank you, it works now!
What application did you use to write the blog entry? Did you just use gimp or is there a text input app that I haven't found yet?
