[Lilug] Wacom tablets that behave well under Linux?

[Michael A. Lee]

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 on an older x41 IBM Tablet PC.  During install it installed Wacom drivers for the pen and screen.  Seems to work fine for me as well.  Anything distinct about the Bamboo?  Custom Button actions always seem to be a challenge no matter what the hardware. 

The CellWriter app is a nice addition for handwriting recognition and a virtual keyboard.

I have been using a Wacom tablet for a while (not bamboo) and have never had to compile any drivers. It just worked.

Hi everyone, 

I'm using Ubuntu, and I'm thinking about getting a Wacom tablet. I was 
thinking about getting the Wacom Bamboo tablet, but I was reading that some 
people had to compile drivers in order to get it working, which I rather 
not do if possible (mostly because I don't want to be surprised to find 
that something broke every 6 months when I update to a new version of 
Ubuntu). Are there any decent tablets out there that work well, but work 
out of the box? 

Thanks.
