Configuring Your Tablet Device

You can configure your Tablet PC (this does not include Tablet PCs with touch screens) during the installation process in the Hardware Configuration screen by changing the Graphics Card options. Alternatively you can configure the (internal or external) tablet device at any time after the installation.

Start SaX2 from the command line or by pressing Alt+F2 and entering sax2.
If you use a Wacom or Finepoint device, click Tablet to show the Tablet Properties.
If you use a Tablet PC with a touch screen, click Touchscreen instead.
From the list on the right, select TABLET PCs as vendor, and the name of your tablet and check Activate This Tablet.
If your machine is not listed and you are sure that you have a Wacom device, select either Wacom ISDV4 Tablet PC (SERIAL) or Wacom ISDV4 Tablet PC (USB).
Switch to the Electronic Pens tab and make sure the following options are activated: Add Pen and Add Eraser. If you have a Tablet PC with touch screen, also activate Add Touch.
Click OK to save the changes.

After finishing the X Window System configuration, restart your X server by logging out. Alternatively, leave the user interface and run init 3 && init 5 in a virtual console.

After your tablet device has been configured, you can now make use of your pen (or, depending on your Tablet PC, your finger) as input device.
