The manufacturer only supports this device in Windows operating systems.

Genius Tablet Support (www.geniusnet.com.tw/geniusOnline/online.portal?_nfpb=true&supportPortlet_actionOverride=%2Fportlets%2Fsuppor tArea%2Fdrivers%2FfindByProductLine&_windowLabel=supportPortlet&supportPortletcategoryId=32310&_pageLabel=supportPage&test=portlet-action)

You will need to search for a linux support site for additional help.

I know - I have googled quite a lot: mornin: . I have tried a Wacom and a Summa driver. Any other tablet-driver I can try?

Actually I do not know if the driver IS the reason why I only got Kermit - serial or USB response and also the right parameters, but no actually tablet drawing options? Other parameters I can try?

Below is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "EasyPen"
Driver "summa"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "InputFashion" "Tablet"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Name" "EasyPen"
Option "Compatible" "True"
Option "Cursor" "Stylus"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "on"
Option "Vendor" "GENIUS"
#Option "Mode" "Absolute"
#Option "DataFormat" "Summa_UIOF"
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "summa" #of relevance - inserted in Section "Module"
EndSection
