Configuring Your Wacom Device - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE DESKTOP 10 SP1 - GNOME 23-05-2007 Manual

E.2 Configuring Your Wacom Device
After the Tablet PC packages have been installed, configure your tablet device. Currently, SUSE
Linux Enterprise Desktop does not support configuration of Wacom devices with SaX2. Instead, it is
necessary to edit a system configuration file. Only the system administrator can make the changes to
the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
For an overview about /etc/X11/xorg.conf and an introduction to manual configuration of
the X Window System, see
www.novell.com/documentation/beta/sled10/sled_deployment_sp1/data/sec_x11_optimieren.html)
in the SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 Deployment Guide.
WARNING: A Faulty X Configuration Can Damage Your Hardware
Before editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, create a backup of the original file. Do not edit
other sections of the file, because this can cause damage to your hardware.
For Wacom devices, add a couple of lines to /etc/X11/xorg.conf as shown in
Configuration for Wacom
