Re: [Staffslug] trust work tablet 400
It may sound simple, but have you actually tried to use it with a recent
distribution? Rather than worrying before, try it and see first. You may
be surprised!
If you run Debian and/or Gentoo, I'm sure a kernel recompile may be
in-order, but the kernel modules described are probably loaded already
in Ubuntu (or some other 'ease of use' distro):
ubuntu:~$ lsmod | grep hid
usbhid 31872 0
hid 38784 1 usbhid
usbcore 146028 4 usbhid,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd
Also, Ubuntu 8.04 has the xserver-xorg-input-aiptek input driver in the
repos already.
HTH,

hey everyone
i just found one of these graphics tablets and would love to be able to
use it. there are no native linux drivers for it. it is apparently a
rebranded Aiptek 8000U.
i found this page, but the information seems to be out-of-date.
http://zeekat.nl/joost/trust-tablet/index.html
so is there an easier way to install it, or should i just go through
this page, its quite confusing though and talks about adding kernel modules.
any help much appreciated
