This package provides the X.Org X11 driver for Wacom and Wacom-like tablets.

It obsoletes the linuxwacom driver and supports X server versions 1.7 and

higher. Server versions lower than 1.7 may be supported by this driver, but

users are encouraged to use the old linuxwacom driver instead.

Provided that hotplugging is enabled in the X server,  the simplest

configuration is to copy the wacom.fdi file into /etc/hal/fdi/policies and

to restart HAL and then plug in the tablet. The driver will autoconfigure

itself.

If hotplugging is not possible or desired, an InputDevice section in the

xorg.conf with the Driver wacom will load the device. Details on the

configuration can be found in xorg.conf(5) and wacom(4).

Since this driver is an X11 driver only, a kernel driver is required to get

hardware support. If the kernel driver is older than this driver, some

features may not be available.
