| + | |
| + | Wacom support requires OLPC Software Release 8.2.0, so update if you are on an older build. |
| + | |
| + | To use your USB Wacom tablet with Colors, you need to do a little work at the Terminal. |
| + | |
| + | wget http://dev.laptop.org/~wadeb/setupwacom.sh |
| + | sudo sh setupwacom.sh |
| + | |
| + | This will install the linuxwacom package, download and install the Wacom kernel module, and download and replace your Xorg configuration file with one that supports Wacom tablets. |
| + | |
| + | Restart your XO and launch Colors!. Voila, Wacom support! Check the Sensitive buttons in the Brush Control screen to enable pressure sensitivity for brush size and opacity. |
