Linux/Wacom – is it possible to run Wacom’s Windows driver under Wine for interaction with linux programs?
I have a Wacom, want to switch my computer completely to linux, can’t seem to find a setup even at the LinuxWacom project site that gets my tablet working. It works well under Windows, so I am assuming there is nothing wrong with the tablet, itself. In Linux, though, even with all the brouhaha I just put in for the past 8 hours trying to find drivers & assistance for the thing, it starts out okay but then as soon as I move a title bar or press down to hard – and sometimes for not obvious cause at all – it freezes, or you can only click with the pen but not move the pointer.
Is there some way I can run the drivers for the Wacom tablet that are installed into my Windows OS on my dual-boot system while actually using the thing on graphics programs (i.e. Gimp et al) running in Linux?
I’m pretty sure I could find the answer if I kept trying, but I’ve been at this for hours and all the words are just starting to run together. :-# Help? 
No. Wine does not emulate or load Windows drivers.

How to make right decisions and not be caught in marketing trap
Making right decisions is something crucial in our lives. We are facing the problem of decision making so often that many of us got so used to it they do it subconsciously. To make things clear I have to specify that I’m not talking about choosing the way to go, or whether it’s a good moment to get married or not, I’m talking about the very basic decision we make every single time we go shopping – which product to buy?
Firstly we shall look at the most common shopping we do, i.e. food and household cleaning stuff. Whenever you go to the shop, you are ‘attacked’ by hundreds of products that are very similar. The thing that differentiates them most is the price. Manufacturers of food have mastered this unique technique of getting people to pay loads of money for a very common product – they call their product healthy or eco-friendly, and all of a sudden it’s worth twice as much as it used to cost being a regular product. Same thing with all the cleaning fluids you use to clean your house. Manufacturers use incredible not to say sensational product descriptions to make sure that you believe their product is rare. Lately I’ve heard a commercial of one of the washing powders that was somehow special because it could intelligently detect stains. I called my friend who is a chemist and believe me or not he said that it was just an attribute of washing powders, nothing special, but the manufacturer made many people pay a lot of money for something completely common and normal.
We may observe similar processes in any other market segment, but I think the one that shows this phenomenon best is the consumer electronics business. It’s impossible to open the box with a device you want to buy and check what’s really inside. The stats that manufacturers provide us with are often so difficult that without professional help you won’t understand what they do measure. I can give you many examples starting with the simplest Linux vs. Windows, but it’s quite obvious. Another one comes from pen tablets area. Recently I was looking for my first graphic tablet. I am an absolute beginner. My final choice came to Genius vs. Wacom decision. I spent some time checking on the Internet their tablets (Wacom Bamboo Fun and Genius MousePen i608). It turned out that both manufacturers offer the same functions, features, and performance on those tablet models but for a very different price. I went for Genius pen tablet and paid $100 less than for the Wacom device.
Whenever you make a purchase choice you should make sure that it’s a conscious decision, otherwise you may end up paying a lot of money for product marketing or for brand. There are a lot of good bargains out there. If you are willing to take the trouble to compare the products, you will win a good deal and save money without compromising on quality.

Switching from Windows to Linux?
My computer has started running slow and i want to deformat it and start again. Can i just download linux and install that instead of having XP again? and is it worth it?
I mainly use my computer for things like photoshop and DJing so i have lots of mixing software, can i use these programs on linux? and i have some usb turntables i use and a graphics tablet. Will all this sill work on Linux?
Sorry if its a stupid question but I cant find anything on the internet that answers these questions.
Thanks
You can boot Ubuntu as a LiveCD and give it a test run. I would suggest using it as a dual boot system. What Linux has to offer, Windows doesn’t have and what Windows has, Linux doesn’t have similar programs. I dual boot all six of my computers. For Ubuntu for video and audio you would use the package management program Synaptic (the password is the user password to open Synaptic) and type in the search box lmms, which is the multimedia studio software. You’d type in the word music to find all the files related to music and audio.
No question is stupid by the way. Some Linux distributions have an updated Gimp program that is now a single screen, not broken up menus. There are programs for DJing, but may not meet your specific requirements. I hope this is of some help.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
