[ubuntu-za] Triple barrel question... (which should be 3 threads I guess, but they concern each other)

[Tim Johnson]

Hi Reenen,

I have an Acecad Graphics tablet working under Intrepid after some  
xorg.conf fiddling.  Wacom Tablets are far better supported out of the box  
and are of high quality... along with a high price, but definitely go for  
Wacom if possible.

What does he want to do?  Inkpad and The GIMP both work very well with the  
tablet and it can also replace the mouse as a general movement device.

I don't use video editing software myself, but a friend is evaluating  
various packages at present.... contact him at claxton at polka.co.za for an  
informed recommendation.

Cheers

Tim
