2.4 - Install from Prebuilt

We have created 2 sets of prebuilt Wacom X driver and its utility programs under linuxwacom-0.8.0-3/prebuilt; one for x86-32 systems, the other for x86-64 systems.

If you don't plan to change anything in the driver, following steps will install the prebuilt files for you:

[jej@ayukawa jej]$ cd linuxwacom-0.8.0-3/prebuilt
[jej@ayukawa prebuilt]$ su
[jej@ayukawa prebuilt]# ./uninstall
[jej@ayukawa prebuilt]# ./install

Serial tablet (most Tablet PCs are serial) users can skip the rest sections and go to Using wacdump page for details on viewing the tablet output now.

If you use an older USB tablet and your running kernel was released 6 months later than your tablet was first seen in market, you most probably can skip next section of this chapter and the whole chapter 4 too. If you would like to make certain, continue to next section.
