Hi Aletta, Your kinda out of luck right now. The kernel driver for ctl-470 only exists for kernels 2.6.38 or newer. If your able to upgrade to newer kernel the you could compile the "input-wacom" drivers and it would work. https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/linuxwacom/index.php?title=Input-wacom Some one on mailing list recently asked same question and was going to look into back porting the driver to kernels as early as 2.6.30 but I guess it never happened. Since a few people have asked, I've finally started a download of CentOS 6.2 DVD so I'll see if I can find time to install it in a VM and back port the driver. No promises but check back in a week or 2 to see if anything announced on mailing list.
