Yes, our graphics designer uses a Wacon Intuos 1 and 2, and we
teach a course using the Intuos 4 they all work perfect with
Ubuntu, Edubuntu, and Dynabolic and Inkscape 0.45.
What is it you wanted to know?

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.

Are there models of tablet favored or disfavored for a Linux
application?
I don't think so. I use an A5 Intuos 3 and it works just fine for
me in
Inkscape and the Gimp, and as a normal pointer. I had some problems
initially because the stock wacom driver didn't support the Intuos 3,
but that was 18 months ago, and they do now.
The Intuos 3 has some little buttons on either side of it that are
supposed to be bound to the modifier keys. The wacom driver itself
doesn't handle this: if you get a tablet with such buttons, you probably
want to download and install the "expresskeys" utility, which will
handle them for you.

Hi Daniel (and others).
Quite old topic, but I haven't found anything more related to my problem.
It's about my Intuos3, ExpressKeys and Inkscape (in Ubuntu Gutsy).
Tablet works fine as you said, both in Inkscape and Gimp, ExpressKeys works
too, BUT... When I launch it (expresskeys -d), mouse buttons stops
responding in Inkscape (and it's only in document canvas! I can still select
tools and menus of Inkscape, just can't draw anything with mouse). It don't
occur in Gimp.
Have you (or anybody) met with this in your computer? (AFAIS, You've got the
same Wacom model as I do, and your xorg.conf related section is also the
same).

I don't recall ever seeing a problem like this. I'm still using
expresskeys 0.2.4, and I can't test it right now anyway because of this
problem <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=442424>;.
I haven't been doing any drawing at all this last month, so not having
it under Linux hasn't been as much of an annoyance as you might think.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Every program eventually reaches a point where it becomes harder to make
a simple change than to rewrite the program from scratch. Unfortunately,
when this point is reached, it is far too late to consider rewriting it.
