Wacom Bamboo Tablet OpenSUSE 11.0

English Hardware
#1

I’m trying to get my Wacom Bamboo MTE-450 tablet working properly. (System: Pentium 4; OpenSUSE 11.0 KDE 4.1.3 Kernel 2.6.25.18-02 default i686)

I’ve installed and updated the proper drivers, run the wacdump test, and checked the xorg.conf file. Everything works except GIMP. In GIMP, my eraser draws and the stylus does nothing. (Totally bizarre :slight_smile: The InputDevice and ServerLayout portions of my xorg.conf file is below. I suspect the problem is somewhere in it, but I can’t find it.

have you read the various posts on the wacoms?

nils olsen felt he had “the answer” so check his posts too;

the wacoms seem just a wee bit tricky;

also checking for yourself in ubuntu forums via google could be good:

there is no-one posting regularly on suse who seems to a wacom ace;

check on google for specialist forums;

you could become the suse guru for us all

do let the forum know how you get along; valuable to hear how things go
