I've built a wacom tablet kernel driver
for 10.1.3beta and have been able to run
Colors! with a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet.
This was the first time since leaving
os802 on the XO-1.  Yippee!

I notice some problems with a solid,
full-pressure/full-size dot at the
beginning of a stroke.  That was fixed
previously by some of the tablet driver
settings but I don't recall the details.

Also, I used the Copy widget to save a
drawing to the clipboard and thence to
the Journal.  Unfortunately, I could
not figure out how to save the "playable"
version of the drawing to the Journal.

Is there a secret keystroke or such?

Finally, I downloaded the git sources
from the gitorious and I think I'll be
able to figure out how to get more of
the wacom tablet features available.
Specifically, the Bamboo has a Ring
that could be used to dial for the
color selector.  There are a number of
other buttons as well that could be used
to reduce/eliminate the need to go to the
XO keyboard while drawing.  It would be
cool if one could draw while in e-book
mode for the XO-1.

Cheers,
Chris
