I use Slackware 11. I need a copy of the xorg.conf code that allows X11 apps to use the Wacom tablet. There is apparently a driver for it included in Slack 11.
Are there models of tablet favored or disfavored for a Linux application?
I am sticking my toe in the water very gingerly on this subject.

Hi you might want to check out the site Richard suggested, but also consider using Ubuntu. I have nothing against Slackware, it was my second distro I switched to and it thought me the most about how GNU/Linux works. Ubuntu truly simplifies many thing that might come up.
But if you know what you are doing with xorg
Add the below sections after your mouse, make sure you have your Wacom device location, and edit it in the "Device"Option
Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "stylus" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "stylus" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection
Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "eraser" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "eraser" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection
Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "cursor" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "cursor" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection
++++++++++++++ Add this to your "ServerLayout" section, make sure your Identifier, Screen, and InputDevice matches your setup.
Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection
+++++++++++++++++++++ Hope this helps. Email me off list isf you are in NYC, I might be able to offer some assistance.
