- | Drawing tablets are mostly quite well supported on Linux, since at their most basic they are essentially touch activated mouses. | ||
- | |||
- | Most drawing tablets, however, are much more than just a pen-shaped mouse; they have pressure sensitivity and programmable buttons. Whether these features are supported or not depends on the manufacturer of the tablet. | ||
- | |||
- | Wacom, the most ubiquitous tablet vendor, employs a programmer for Linux drivers, and has had impeccable support for Linux for years. If you want guaranteed tablet support, buy Wacom. | ||
- | |||
- | Plug a Wacom tablet into your computer and check to make sure the Wacom driver has loaded by listing the active modules: | ||
- | |||
- | <code> | ||
- | $ lsmod | grep -i wacom | ||
- | </code> | ||
- | |||
- | Wacom tablets, like most tablets, are plug-and-play for basic use. To configure the advanced features (the ones you probably bought the tablet for), you need to install a Wacom settings extension from [[http://slackbuilds.org/result/?search=wacomtablet&sv=]] | ||
- | |||
- | Find the Wacom configuration panel in **System Settings**. | ||
