Next question is graphics tablets - the Graphire is known to work, but I noticed a tablet at £30 in PC World, and I wondered if their own-brand one is known to be workable with Linux?All I'll say is: Own-brand PCWorld laptops are terrible - with or without Linux. The hardware stinks, the laptop itself is unstable (anything that can crash Debian stable minimal install must be dodgy). £30? probably junk. At least if it doesn't work you won't have wasted £900.I think this is probably going to be an 'artists graphics tablet', you know, those things with a stylus that use the mouse or USB interface. I don't think it's a laptop. If it is a laptop then I'm getting one :D
I've got a graphics tablet that I don't use, see http://www.nisis.com/Products/GraphicTablets/G3.asp I haven't tried using it in Linux. Doesn't look like it'll work though, it requires Windows. Some graphics tablets are known to work with Linux. see http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Wacom-Tablet-HOWTO PCWorld own brand, Just Say No. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
