Re: Wacom

I've been after the same info since I jumped on board the linux train. I've got a Wacom Graphire tablet, that kind of works as well, and have searched high and low trying to find out how to make the area on the tablet register with the area on the screen. It's impossible to use with Gimp and Inkscape (which I LOVE). :?
