[Sugar-devel] Wacom Bamboo with Colors! on XO-1 (again)?

[chm]

I tried the directions from the mini-HOWTO and
everything downloaded ok but the ./configure step
failed because kernel and X11 sources were not
available.  I looked but was unable to determine
how to get those to proceed.  Maybe someone with
XO-1 kernel-fu can help.

Cheers,
Chris
