wacom tools for Debian
----------------------
This package is an attempt to organise the tools and binary modules required
to use the Wacom family of graphics tablets and related devices under Debian.
NOTE: This package should be considered HIGHLY experimental. I am neither a
kernel guru nor a lawyer, think about that. Installing the module into your
kernel and/or poking at it once it is in may do TERRIBLE THINGS to your
system. It probably won't, but that is not my guarantee to make, so be
careful with important data. Like that still needs repeating.
The wacom-tools package contains some simple utilities useful for testing
and configuring devices and the wacom-kernel-source package can create the
necessary kernel modules for your running kernel. The remaining patches,
to wacom_drv.o for X11, can hopefully be merged into the Debian and/or
mainline X11 source.
Update: xfree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-9 has integrated the upstream linuxwacom
patches up to 0.6.4. This should be sufficient for almost
everybody except intuos3 users who want support for the aux pads.
