Genius G-Pen F610 tablet

This tablet works with standard X.Org evdev and Wacom input drivers when using X without explicit configuration. But I couldn't get it run with explicit configuration in xorg.conf (especially not with the old configuration which used to work for me formerly).

There is another driver called Wizardpen. This one works well but there was an important bug in it until recently so you should use the latest bzr version until a new version of the driver gets released.

Note: Pressure sensitivity doesn't work in Krita with Wizardpen driver, the tablet behaves like a standard mouse. They say it is a problem with Qt libraries supporting only (some) Wacom tablets. It used to work for me at least partially with older (pre-KDE4) versions of Krita and the X.Org Wacom driver. Wizardpen works well with MyPaint so it indeed looks like a problem of Qt/Krita and not of WizardPen driver.

Note: WizardPen driver can't be used together with Wacom driver as this combination makes X to crash.
