i suddenly realized yesterday that my aiptek HP-12000U tablet is supported under FC3. gads! i never would have guessed. so i plugged it in and it sort of works. but, not quite right. the cursor disappears frequently and it seems to move around randomly when i start the pen on the tablet. i'm trying to say that i can't judge WHERE it's going to start it's stroke when i press the pen to the tablet. this is all in gaim, BTW. i looked at the log and i see these errors: Dec 22 21:14:29 junior kernel: usb 1-2.4: new low speed USB device using address 6 Dec 22 21:14:29 junior kernel: usbhid: probe of 1-2.4:1.0 failed with error -5 Dec 22 21:14:31 junior hal.hotplug[22831]: DEVPATH is not set Dec 22 21:14:31 junior kernel: drivers/usb/input/aiptek.c: input: Aiptek on usb-0000:00:02.2-2.4 (event3) Dec 22 21:14:31 junior kernel: Dec 22 21:14:33 junior kernel: drivers/usb/input/aiptek.c: input: Aiptek using 400 ms programming speed Dec 22 21:14:33 junior kernel: Dec 22 21:14:33 junior kernel: drivers/usb/input/aiptek.c: aiptek: error loading 'evdev' module Dec 22 21:14:33 junior kernel: usbcore: registered new driver aiptek Dec 22 21:14:33 junior kernel: drivers/usb/input/aiptek.c: v1.5 (May-15-2004): Bryan W.
