linux gimp pen tablet

I have successfully installed SuSE11, and now I'm looking for a digital pen/tablet that works with gimp.
Does anyone have a recommendation (or a disrecommendation) for a brand/model that works well
with Gimp?

I don't need the most expensive model, but I do want one that is good quality and will get along
nicely with Linux, SuSE11, and Gimp 2.4.

Thanks much!

Helen

I'm using a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet with Ubuntu 8.04 and Gimp 2.4.6 and it works quite well. I had to uncomment a few lines in xorg.conf and restart X to get it working properly, and the tablet needs to be plugged in before X starts, but aside from that it's been no trouble at all. It also worked properly with Ubuntu 7.04 and the 2.2 and 2.3 versions of GIMP.

Happy hunting! Chris

Chalk up another vote for wacom. A friend of mine, who is an artist, has been using a wacom graphire (think its a graphire 2) for 6+ years with gimp and fedora. It works fine and when he decides to get a new one it will definitely be a wacom.

If you have any problems there are a couple mailing lists: wacom-users, and wacom-dev where you can get help, or maybe even find the answer to your problems in their archives.

Will SuSE11 support Bamboo? I bought the medium Bamboo, the $130 model,but I dont' see a model number on the box. When I go to YAST, install hardware,

tablet properties, Wacom, and then it opens up to give me four Wacom choises: Graphire serial or usb, and Intuos serial and usb. There is no option for Bamboo.
Should I chose one of those?

Also, do I need the installation disks? The disks say for mac or windows (of course).

Thanks for help,

Definitely a Wacom.

If you have a purse fat enough go for an Intuos2, else get a Bamboo. I own a 6"x11" Intuos3 and it work fine with GIMP. I'd like better control in GIMP over the pressure sensitivity and other tablet features, though.
