1. Situation
With the help of this list, I have learnt that Ubuntu detected and
installed drivers for my Wacom tablet as part of it's default
installation. That's great news.
Apparently now, in order to get my Wacom tablet working to my own
specifications, I need to edit my xorg.conf file.
I found instructions for doing so doing so on the following two web
sites:
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/
https://wiki.ubuntu.com//WacomTabletIssue
2. Problems
One thing I notice is that in the xorg.conf suggested on the Ubuntu
page, they use exclamation points in the text. These exclamation points
are not suggested on the sourceforge page.
3. Questions
Do I need to have these exclamation points?
4.
Here are the lines that I've put into my xorg.conf file:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "cursor"
Option "Device" "/dev/wacom0"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "Mode" "relative"
Option "USB" "on"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/wacom0"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "eraser"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "eraser"
EndSection
