@Boudewijn: it will can’t wait for that!
@Danni: the evdev access is cool, but only 1 app at a time (so if the X input driver takes ownership of it.. you’re screwed)
@summel: I’ll post as soon as it gets to a beta state
@Valentin: shipment costs to Italy would have been disadvantageous anyway..

I think that 99€ (120$) are really to much for the Bamboo Pen and Touch. You coud buy it on amazon for 57€ ($86)!

I also bought a bamboo pen&tocuh a few days ago, but i only used in on windows 7 (hmmm works… kinda…) and mac os x (wow! this is how it SHOULD be done!)

i haven’t tried it on linux yet, but i was afraid, that i can only use the pen (l had a graphire before, so i knew there is general wacom support). i hope that linux catches up soon :/

also I am lead to believe that vista doesn’t do multitouch – Windows 7 does…. Which is why Wacom didn’t release this until after Windows 7 came out

If you want to look at gluon and KCL I think they are doing evdev directly to QT applications at the moment (code still in testing)…. http://gluon.tuxfamily.org/
MPX is supported by the latest release of Xorg Though I am desperately trying to find a way to make this work with QT. (evdev looks easier at this point).

This would make smudging in Krita so much fun…
