Most end users would probably only need to update the Wacom X driver and the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file to use the rich features that Wacom tablets offer.
The steps could be as simple as:
download the package then
$ bunzip2 linuxwacom.tar.bz2
$ tar xvf linuxwacom.tar
$ cd linuxwacom/prebuilt
$ su
# yum remove linuxwacom
# ./uninstall
# ./install
# cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
# gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# reboot
==============================================================================
However, if you have a USB tablet which is newer than your running kernel, i.e.,
the tablet is not supported by your running kernel, or you are a developer who is
willing to build the driver from the source, there are extra work waiting for you.
==============================================================================
BUILDING FROM TARBALL:
As you would expect, run configure and make. Configure options are explained below.
$ ./configure && make
==============================================================================
CONFIGURE OPTIONS:
This file contains hints for building the sources. There are a number of build
targets, some of which are not built automatically. Here is the
breakdown:
wacom.o: not built by default (--enable-wacom, --disable-wacom)
wacdump: built by default (--enable-wacdump, --disable-wacdump)
xidump: built by default (--enable-xidump, --disable-xidump)
xsetwacom: built by default (--enable-xsetwacom, --disable-xsetwacom)
hid.o: not built by default (--enable-hid, --disable-hid; Only kernels 2.6.18 or older need it.)
wacom_drv.o: built by default (--enable-wacomdrv, --disable-wacomdrv)
There are many options, and configure will attempt to guess the correct
values for most of them. By default, only wacomcpl, xsetwacom, wacom_drv.o,
xidump, and wacdump program are built.
Please surf the HOWTO page at http://linuxwacom.sf.net/index.php/howto/main
(or the miniHOWTO at http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/minihowto if
you run a Fedora system) to find the proper options if the default building
environment doesn't work for you.
