Re: wacom wide format tablets in linux
We're the using the 12x19 on Linux (FC4), and it works great now... Especially for Paint work. The installation can be a nightmare though, depending on how you install the driver (only the latest 0.7.3-1 developer and 0.7.4-3 production drivers work with the 12x19). Also, expect difficulties installing it depending on what your config is, if you have a sysAdmin, I'd recommend letting them do it.

I don't know how awesome it would be to have to switch to a 1280x1024 display in flame.

Personally not that fussed about the wide tablets because using a square one gives you space at the top to put the keyboard. Do those little buttons and the ribbon at the side on the Intuos4 do anything in Flame?

I was curious about that too (the buttons). I was wondering if there was some sort of config app in linux to remap those things to keystrokes for play, schematic, etc etc like the quantel guys do :wink:
anyways, I havn't got a linux box anyways, just curious about it
i'm supposed to be testing piranha on linux soon though, maybe that will be a good chance to try one of these things out

I don't know about the flame, but on an I3 with combustion, those buttons streamlined roto a ton for me. I even set the touch strip to act as a scroll wheel, and used it to zoom in without moving the stylus, set one of the larger buttons to act as the spacebar, so I could also pan just as easily (not that the spacebar was exceedingly difficult to reach..
