[opensuse] compatible graphic tablets
Hi, I am planning on getting a graphic tablet for drawing and such, and after looking around on the net, seem to be finding only conflicting information on device compatibility with opensuse 10.3. I am after a 6"x9" or there abouts. The Wacom tablets seem well supported, but different people seem to report the new Wacom Bamboo series don't work with the current kernel. Other devices seem to be mostly UC-Logic chips, and while there is plenty of info for ubuntu (again, mostly contradictory regarding operation status) there is little about opensuse. The WizardPen driver seems to work for some, but again newer kernels seem to present problems. If you have a tablet working under 10.3, could you please let me know the brand and model, what driver it uses, and any difficulties in setup. Also any particular comments on usability with opensuse (buttons, pressure sensitivity etc) would also be helpful.

Allen - I'll have to go over this weekend and take a look, but my mother has a Wacom tablet working on her 10.3 system. I believe it was a fairly painless install. I know the model is at least five years old. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have a wacom 5x4 tablet. Works out of the box via yast and a Genius mouse pad UC-Logic 8x6 with the driver from here: http://www.stud.fit.vutbr.cz/~xhorak28/index.php?page=WizardPen_Driver Both work under 10.3. I think the wacom is expensive for what it is. You can get the genius for around 30 Euros.
