Installing Tablet Pc Packages - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 11 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

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 and 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
NOTE: Keyboard or Mouse Needed for Installation
During installation of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, the pen cannot be used as
an input device. If your Tablet PC does not feature a built-in keyboard or touch
pad, connect an external keyboard or mouse to your Tablet PC for installation
of your system.
