Okay, Colors! v11 supports Wacom tablets, with pressure sensitivity.<br>
Instructions for setup are on the activity page, it's really pretty<br>
simple.<br>
<br>
OLPC folks, it might be nice to update xorg-dcon.conf to support Wacom<br>
tablets, and to include the linuxwacom package in builds. I think<br>
that deployments would be well served to have a few cheap graphics<br>
tablets available for art classes, etc. If you're interested, the<br>
Colors! activity bundle contains the fixed xorg-dcon.conf.<br>

Hey Wade, sounds great! Unfortunately I'm not having any luck here with an XO running 8.2-767 and an Intuos model Wacom tablet. Any one else had any success?<br>
<br>
BTW: After yum has installed linuxwacom.i386 0:0.7.9.8-6.fc9, the additions to xorg-dcon.conf made, and a reboot just to make sure – If I go look in /dev/input/ I still see no wacom device listed.<br>

This is great news but it did not work on my setup:<br>
os767 with a BambooFun tablet.<br>
<br>
I do not see any entries for the wacom in /dev/input<br>
and a wacdump of all the possible /dev/input/event#<br>
entries showed all unknown.<br>
<br>
For my yum install it pulled the same version as Gary<br>
reported.<br>
<br>
Had you done some previous installs that might have<br>
done addition configuration or driver installs?<br>
<br>
What version linuxwacom do you have?<br>
<br>
What /dev/input entries?]<br>
<br>
What do you see with wacdump for them?<br>
<br>
Also, the sudo cp of the xorg-dcon.conf from the Colors!<br>
instructions does not have the '!' in it and will not<br>
work. I had do su to run the command and escape the<br>
'!' as a history expansion character with a backslash.<br>
I was not able to get a combination of escapes that<br>
would work with the sudo emulation...<br>
