Yes, you're perfectly right. However, you can also do update your installation between steps 1 and 2, but it's not a requirement.
You won't be able to get Timo's packages through synaptics (it's not a repository, afaik). You can just donwload them on your hard drive, then open a terminal and issue : sudo dpkg -i name_of_package.deb Basically, you'll need to packages with the same version number (try 0.7.6 first since they're the latests) : one is wacom- tools_0.7.6.4-0ubuntu1_i386.deb and the other is xserver-xorg-input- wacom_0.7.6.4-0ubuntu1_i386.deb. Plug your tablet, and check if /dev/input/wacom is created/deleted when you plug/unplug. Then edit you /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to point to /dev/input/wacom. Restart the machine, then see if it works. If not, try 0.7.4 packages. If not, try with the default 0.7.2 installed previously - there again, you might have to edit xorg.conf. Thanks a lot for trying them -- wacom-tools udev scripts should point to /dev/wacom instead of /dev/input/wacom https://launchpad.net/bugs/40473 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
