==Linux Support==
The pen is supported by the XFree/Xorg Wacom driver. New tablets also have the [[MultiTouch]] capability. [[MultiTouch]] is NOT supported presently, but the pen still works on such devices.

The pen uses serial and appears on some {{path|/dev/ttySnn}} device where <tt>nn</tt> is a number. An easy way to find it is to map {{path|/dev/ttyS0}} to the pen's port and irq. The values can be found under the windows driver properties. Using values from an {{X41T}} 1869-5CU, the command is: {{cmdroot|setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x0200 irq 5 autoconfig}} (you need to run this after every suspend/resume cycle).

This may be inserted into startup scripts in {{path|/etc/rc.d/}}

The X config file needs to be changed to use the stylus. Add the following sections to your xorg.conf:

    Section "InputDevice"
      Driver        "wacom"
      Identifier    "cursor"
      Option        "Device"        "/dev/ttyS0"
      Option        "Type"          "cursor"
      Option        "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"     
      Option        "Mode"          "Absolute"
    EndSection
    
    Section "InputDevice"
      Driver        "wacom"
      Identifier    "stylus"
      Option        "Device"        "/dev/ttyS0"
      Option        "Type"          "stylus"
      Option        "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"
    EndSection
    
    Section "InputDevice"
      Driver        "wacom"
      Identifier    "eraser"
      Option        "Device"        "/dev/ttyS0"
      Option        "Type"          "eraser"
      Option        "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"
    EndSection


Add the following lines to the ServerLayout section:

    InputDevice    "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"

Check the wacom driver man page and [http://linuxwacom.sf.net/ website] for other options.

For handwriting recognition using pen you can use [[CellWriter]].

To get the right mouse button to map to the stylus button use this script and run it through .bashrc

    #!/bin/bash
    xsetwacom set stylus Button1 "button 1"
    xsetwacom set stylus Button2 "button 1"
    xsetwacom set stylus Button3 "button 3"
