Current Issues

Hardy Heron (8.04 LTS)

The stylus does not work out of the box. To get it working:
- Use Track Point knob to open Applications > Accessories > Terminal and type

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Add the following text somewhere at the start:

Section "InputDevice"
        Driver          "wacom"
        Identifier      "stylus"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
        Option          "Type"          "stylus"
        Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"
        Option          "Button2"       "3"             # Right click
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Driver          "wacom"
        Identifier      "eraser"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
        Option          "Type"          "eraser"
        Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"
        Option          "Button3"       "2"             # Eraser
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Driver          "wacom"
        Identifier      "cursor"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
        Option          "Type"          "cursor"
        Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"
EndSection

Add these three devices to the "ServerLayout" section as follows:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "Default Layout"
        Screen          "Default Screen"
        InputDevice     "stylus"        "SendCoreEvents"
        InputDevice     "cursor"        "SendCoreEvents"
        InputDevice     "eraser"        "SendCoreEvents"
        InputDevice     "Synaptics Touchpad"
EndSection

Gutsy Gibbon

EASY FIX: screen rotation works but pen tracking does not follow
- Use the rotscreen.new script from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/133430
EASY FIX: screen almost black on resume from suspend
- Switch to a console (Ctrl-Alt-6) and then back again (Ctrl-Alt-7) to re-enable backlight
EASY FIX: Enable tablet functions - uncomment tablet lines as indicated in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
EASY FIX: enable pen button - modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf as follows:
- add the following line to to Section InputDevice - Driver wacam - Identifier stylus as follows:
  - Option "Button2" "3"
- add the following line to Section InputDevice - Driver wacam - Identifier eraser
  - Option "Button3" "2"

Notes

For 8.04 LTS:

Installed using "wubi" from Windows Vista.
Install paused for several minutes on "Scanning the mirror..." but was otherwise smooth.
External monitor detected but could not uncheck the "clone displays" box.
Hibernation did not shut machine off. I think the wubi installer mentioned that this doesn't work w/ wubi.
A bit tricky to get sound recording to work: open sound recorder, choose File > Open Volume Control, choose Edit > Preferences, check the Capture box, toggle audio recording on on Recording tab, and then use Options tab to choose source (internal / external mic). Then tell the recorder to record from input Capture.
Can rotate screen from System > Preferences > Screen Resolution if hardware acceleration turned off (add Option "DRI" "false" to the Device in the xorg.conf file), but so far no luck rotating the input (ie. cursor moves left/right instead of up/down).
