If you own an awesome looking Wacom Smartpad and long to use it on Linux, I’ve some good news.

Wacom Smartpads like the Bamboo Slate currently lack official Linux support. You’ll know this if you’ve tried to pair one to use with your Linux laptop or PC.

But that is about to change.

And it’s all thanks to — what else — open source.

Finally! Bamboo Slate Support on Linux
Two Red Hat developers have launched a new open-source project called ‘Tuhi’ that brings support for Wacom Smartpad devices to Linux.

I am all for this but not sure how many users that need Wacom tablets are using Linux.
