Pen Tablet drivers
Alright, I highly doubt I'm going to solve my problem, but here goes: I recently got a Vistablet Mini so that I can draw some things in GIMP but I can't find any drivers for it for fedora (I just upgraded to 15 but I couldn't find any for 14 either...).
Does anyone know of a tablet input driver? I tried google and I found this thing for a small wacom intuos but not for Vistablet.
Thanks in advance,
Pike

OP's Late Solution Is Late
...but I found that the Vistablet driver CD works with WINE 1.4. If it starts hanging after installing the driver but wants to install the additional software, just leave the installer running. You'll find that the tablet works then.
It didn't take long for my Fedora machine to just remember that it had the drivers installed in WINE and let the tablet work anyway.
MyPaint is an excellent program to go with the Vistablets. I used mine for months until my habit of leaning on it while I was browsing (nobody told me that was a bad idea until it was too late) caused a skip spot, where the cursor starts skipping around. So this is me telling you! Vistablets are pretty good and fairly hardy unless you rest your elbow on it and lean on it while browsing the internet!
