How to install Wacom Bamboo Pen
- by casadrya
I have a new Wacom Bamboo Pen. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 64bit.
After googling a little bit, I checked that xserver-xorg-input-wacom was installed. I plugged in my tablet. I rebooted my computer. Nothing special happened. I opened Inkscape. The tablet didn't work. I opened Inkscape's Input devices dialog. I didn't understand anything. I tried to blindly click some options in that dialog but nothing seemed to have any effect. Same with Gimp.
After googling some more I found the linuxwacom website with source code, this didn't seem to work.
So... any help?
