i'd like to install theses
http://aiptektablet.sourceforge.net
for use with gimp and my tablet.

i only started using linux about a week ago. and everything is abit confusing i guess.

hmm, they say they will work with XFree86 (believes this has to do with the gui) and doesnt DSL have a slightly altered version of that?

so if somebody could help me out?

I saw several views, but no replies to your question..

I'm not one to have your answers, but this is what I know.

The website you ponted to shows...

Which X?
The Input Driver works with X.Org's and XFree86's X Window System for Linux.

DSL uses only a part of the XFree86 tree.
DSL uses the XVesa and Xfbdev servers for X,
which are not a part of the X.org or XFree86 X Window System.

That's not to say a driver couldn't be found for that device.
The kernel required is 2.4 , which DSL has..
But it is beyond my skills and understanding on
how to make this work for you.
