The Linux Wacom Project manages the drivers, libraries, and documentation for
configuring and running Wacom tablets under the Linux operating system. The
project consist of the Wacom Kernel driver (input-wacom),
this X driver (xf86-input-wacom) and
libwacom. Our drivers are
included in most major Linux distributions and provide out-of-the box support
for a wide variety of Wacom tablets and component devices.
Given this, you will only need this driver if you have a newer Wacom device,
are running an older operating system, or need a bugfix. If one of these situations applies to you,
install xf86-input-wacom from source
by following the instructions in our wiki.
For developers and others needing additional information please see the
wiki.
