There is a package to install to enable it (wacom-tools). It doesn't munge xorg.conf though, which some users need.
The options I've seen are: * Require users to write to xorg.conf themselves. Judging from the bugs, this is somewhere between annoying and outright unacceptable for wacom users, but does satisfy KDE developers / users. * Place a pen section commented. This satisfies KDE, but somewhat annoying to wacom users and obsessive compulsive Xorg developers who'd like to see the end of xorg.conf in Ubuntu. * Write a script to rewrite xorg.conf on wacom-postinst. Getting closer, but requires an xorg restart and annoys the people most likely to write the fix. This is the approach Vincenzo appears to be promoting with dexconf, despite a vague recommendation that "dexconf is depricated and old" from #ubuntu-x. * Proper input hotplugging and wacom autodetection. No more xorg.conf, no more KDE excrement on bogus xorg.conf entries, no tricky xorg.conf parsers, and no angry wacom users. I humbly submit the last one is where the future lies if we intend to ever fix bug #1. At that point perhaps wacom could be installed by default, or at least suggested by whatever we call the driver manager today. I should point out there's a new version of wacom in Debian and upstream. -- wacom input devices enabled by default, why? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42553 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
