The Linux Wacom Project manages the drivers, libraries, and documentation for configuring and running Wacom tablets under the Linux operating system. Our drivers are included in most major distributions and provide out-of-the box support for a wide variety of Wacom tablets and TabletPCs. The project consist of this (input-wacom) driver, the X driver and libwacom.

For Users

Please note many tablets will be supported by a the kernel on your newer operating system. You will only need to install input-wacom if you have a newly released device or if you need a bugfix. In addition please note that even new devices will have most of their features supported on kernels after 4.11 as we have enabled generic device support.

Nevertheless, many users will want to know how to install input-wacom from source.

Users may also want to submit a bug. There is also a small FAQ which we hope will grow over time.
