Ubuntu 8.10でのタブレットの設定

Ubuntu 8.10ではペンタブレットが標準で使えるんですね。でも使えるのはペンだけで、ペンの反対側の消しゴム(?)やペンタブ付属のマウスは認識してくれませんが。

繋ぐのはUSB接続のFAVOなので、↑のサイトの設定をコピーすればいいはず。
/etc/X11/xorg.confを書き換えるのだけれど、
Section "ServerLayout"
〜
EndSection
が無い。
仕方がないのでServerLayoutの所は適当に書き加えて再起動したら、設定ミスでX.Org(?)がうまく起動しなかった。表示されたダイアログから選んでいき、エラーを確認して、設定を標準に戻して、再起動。(こうやって簡単に設定を標準に戻せるのはすごい有り難いです。)
結局、Section "ServerLayout" 〜 EndSection内にIdentifierが必要だった模様。

で、結局xorg.confはこうなりました。

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

実際よくわかってないけど、これで無事に動いてます。
