Re: [Linuxwacom-discuss] Ubuntu 9.04 installation package for Intuos4

[Ping <pin...@gm...>]

Hi Craig,

Glad that you are talking back :).  This is a hope (for the Intuos4 I mean
:).

As Timo mentioned, Ubuntu 9.04 doesn't support Intuos4 yet.  So, I was wrong
on that "most probably" assumption.  I am very sorry.  I guess you have
options:

1:  wait for Ubuntu to include our newest driver which supports Intuo4;
2:  install 0.8.4 yourself, especially the kernel driver(
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/buildwacom6);
3:  Put the tablet back into the box and sell it, donate it, or return it to
Wacom (I hope this isn't an option for you :).

The source of  the web pages are mainly from the users who contributed to
the project as well as myself, which were gathered on the systems that we
used.  If it doesn't reflect the system that you are using, please
provide an update of the pages that are appropriate for your case.  I would
be more than happy to include them into our next website update.  And your
name would be in the ChangeLog (unless you tell me otherwise) or on the
pages. Don't you agree that this is the beauty of Linux - you can actually
work on the project you are interested in?
