Support of Tablet PCs
SUSE Linux Enterprise® comes with support for Tablet PCs with serial Wacom devices.
Although the majority of installation is the same as on other systems, several packages
must be added manually. Then configure the input device properly.
NOTE: Tablet PC Features on 64-bit Architectures
Currently, Tablet PC support is only available for 32-bit architectures. To use
Tablet PC features on 64-bit architectures, you need to install a 32-bit system.
After you have installed the Tablet PC packages and configured your digitizer correctly,
input with the pen, also called a stylus, can be used for the following actions and appli-
cations:
• Logging in to KDM or GDM
• Unlocking your screen on the KDE and GNOME desktops
• Actions that can also be triggered by other pointing devices (such as mouse or touch
pad), for example, moving the cursor on the screen, starting applications, closing,
resizing and moving windows, shifting window focus, dragging and dropping objects
• Using gesture recognition in applications of the X Window System
• Drawing with The GIMP
• Taking notes or sketching with applications like Jarnal or Xournal or editing larger
amounts of text with Dasher
