Hi Christoph, Thank you for the Intuous4 OLED applet. I've linked a couple Intuous4 threads on Ubuntu forums to your post, so hopefully some testers soon. Am I correct in assuming, if they have another Intuous4 with a different product number, all they need to do is add another line to the defines in WacomIntuous4LED.cpp under line 19, basically duplicating line 19 with the new produc id? And substitute their for Product ID for yours at line 16 in intous4-led-check.cpp?
