Hard to to tell without more information. The tablet screen itself should definitely work as a pointer out-of-the-box if the device is correctly detected by the kernel and X. Whether the desktop is doing a good job at handling the device is a different matter (though GTK3 has XInput2 support, so we should start seeing things like GIMP being automatically configured). > Perhaps the project could try to sponsor those that are willing to work > on it by providing them with tablets? Find out whether the device is actually supported by the kernel, and whether it was detected by X (xinput --list). In any case, I don't like the "didn't work" type questions, because you know nothing of the expectations, and actual results. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
