Re: [Linuxwacom-discuss] Wacom Intuos S Bluetooth

[Anna S. <sim...@gm...>]

Hi Aron,

thanks for your effort.
However I think I would like to wait 2 days or so before I give it 
another try. I wonder if someone else is dealing with the problem. I did 
exactly what you suggest and the result was (as I wrote) that the tablet 
did not even work when connected via USB. The output to the last 
commands was strange. If I understood it correctly it just said that 
there was no Wacom driver at all.
I could not restore the old driver so I had to make an entirely new 
installation. I would like to avoid that.
I have one question though: did the tablet work (via USB) before you 
installed the new driver?
I wonder if I could install the new driver on a live-system, just for 
testing. Before I screw up my regular installation.

Regards

Anna
