Kubuntu Feisty Herd did an ok job of setting of the Wacom, but there were a few issues with tracking. If you have a USB Graphire II this will work flawlessly.
Update April 4th, 2007: The update to Kubuntu Feisty took the jittery mouse issue away. I have had this problem where the mouse cursor shakes in every distro except Suse 9.2 Pro. This problem seems to have gone away tonight with this latest update on Kubuntu.
It may work with other tablets as well, but be careful. All lines colored with red are the lines I added, the rest are what Feisty configured during hardware setup itself, I suggest you leave all Feisty settings as you found them! I did comment out the tablet pc line, but you can leave it if you like. Open xorg.conf, which is found under /etc/X11.
Back the file up, if something goes wrong and you get dumped to the terminal you can copy (cp) your backup file over xorg.conf or use Vi to remove what you added. Copy and pasting from this page can cause problems, either use Vi or Vim or type them in yourself! Find the section with "Configured Mouse" and change it from "/dev/input/mice" to "/dev/input/mouse1" If this crashes set it back to mice.

If you cannot boot you need to hit Esc when Grub starts at boot. Select Fail Safe. This will dump you at the command prompt. Type there: sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf Hit Insert to edit text, remove your changes. Esc out of edit mode and type :w then :q :w = write :q = quit |
