Hi there, I would like to know what experiences people have with graphics tablets in Fedora, which ones can be recommended and which ones, if any, can be used to replace the mouse. My reason for asking? I am starting to get RSI problems with my right hand, and I am strongly suspecting the laptop I use, its keyboard/trackpoint combination. I'm already using Dvorak keyboard layout to reduce finger movement. If there are other alternatives (maybe trackball or similar may work, I don't know) you can tell me about, own experiences etc., I'd be happy to receive them.
Sorry if this gets a little OT wrt this list, but this is a problem for a lot of geeks.
First of all, there are a lot of different form factors for mice. I found switching to a trackball helped my RSI a lot. But the biggest improvement came the hardest. I learned to mouse with either hand, and I would switch off as one would get worse. At work, I have a trackball on either side of my keyboard, and can now use either one just as well.
