Playing with the wacom

Following the example of Chico & Cícero, I got myself a new wacom tablet (bamboo pen&touch), what a difference with the (RIP) genius... The touch is completely different, the pentip and the pas surface are much harder and the pen can be tilted very low. The touchpad is a bit annoying (sometimes it detects a hand movement while you are drawing), so I quickly set up a mechanism to disable it. The installation under linux was a bit of pain, but now it works like a charm. And it has an eraser. Here are the first drawings I did with it...

For who is struggling to install the thing under linux, I wrote my method here: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=51279
