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

For 8.04 LTS:

Installed using "wubi" from Windows Vista.
Install paused for several minutes on "Scanning the mirror..." but was otherwise smooth.
