The Linux Wacom Project manages the drivers, libraries and documentation for working of Wacom tablets on Linux based systems. Internet connection to download Wacom drivers.Linux based OS installed and running (I am using Ubuntu here.).Wacom Tablet (I am using One by Wacom (CTL-472) model).Pre-Requisites to Setup Wacom Tablet on Linux The Linux Wacom project provides necessary drivers for the Wacom tablet to work on Linux based systems. If by any chance, your particular Linux OS doesn’t have the drivers pre-installed, then you have to manually install the drivers. Most Linux distros already have Wacom drivers pre-installed, you just have to plug your Wacom tablet and you’re good to go. Now, in this guide, I will show you How to set up a Wacom tablet on Linux. Keep an eye on this link to know the instant Wacom releases their overdue macOS High Sierra driver.In my other post, I have mentioned some great drawing tablets for Linux. And based on the wording of the announcement, the old driver won't work at all, so upgrading to macOS High Sierra will leave you Wacom-less for at least a couple of weeks-if you rely on a Wacom tablet for your work, you'll just have to wait. The news is particularly disappointing given that Apple announced High Sierra months ago, and gave developers access to that beta the very same day. To continue to use your tablet uninterrupted, Wacom suggests not to upgrade to 10.13 until the new driver is released. Due to nature of the changes in High Sierra, the existing Wacom driver for 10.12 will not work. The new Wacom driver will be ready by late October at the latest. Wacom is currently working on a new driver update to support the new operating system. The current driver is not compatible." If you click on the more info link offered in that tweet, you get this slightly more detailed explanation:Īpple has announced 10.13 High Sierra will be released September 25th. The disappointing news was broadcast in a tweet published by the main Wacom Twitter account that read, "We will release a Driver update late October for 10.13 High Sierra. It seems Wacom tablets won't work with High Sierra until the end of October. But if you use a Wacom tablet to do your photo editing, you'll want to hold off on hitting the upgrade button. Apple's newest macOS operating system, macOS High Sierra, launched today.
