Quickly looking through the mailing list archive on the site you mentioned I wonder if you need to alter your xorg/Xfree config to look some thing like
<x-tad-bigger> Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "stylus" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "stylus"
Driver "aiptek"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Cursor" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "KeepShape" "on"
Option "AlwaysCore" "on"
EndSection</x-tad-bigger>


If you do getting working, I think it might make a good alternative to the wacoms that I buy at work, what size/cost was it?

Hi,

I've been trying to configure a graphic tablet in Linux (as those who've seen my previous posts will know).

I'm 95% there but need some help understanding some material I've found. At:

http://aiptektablet.sourceforge.net/

I've found some information, but "I don't quite understand what they're suggesting to do" :(

Mandrake 10.0 official, Kernel 2.6 (no changes - I wouldn't know how) reads this as a USB device (which it is) and I can do everything I can in the 'other O/S' except... the tablet area needs to be read as the same size as the monitor screen (called 'absolute' in somethings I've read), rather than reading it like a mouse. As I said, everything else works, which is great, but if I move the mouse 2", it moves across the entire viewable area of the screen!

Any help/suggestions/referrals most appreciated.

Patrick
