Got an old Aiptek that I can't find a driver for, to run with Linux. Don't want to go broke buying a new tablet, but also need to NOT USE A MOUSE TO DRAW WITH - OMG, My hand... So I will buy a new one if I need to, and wondered if anyone has any really sweet advice one way or the other.

did you try google?

The Aiptek site download list doesn't show Linux as an OS...I don't know if they have one that will work..

There is an open source driver for aiptek tablets here: http://aiptektablet.sourceforge.net/

This will probably require some command line configuration. I cannot vouch for it, I simply checked sourceforge (a great location for all things open source) I know that using Linux makes you a 1337 h4x0r, but I would highly encourage you, if possible, to use an operating system better suited to the task at hand such as Windows or OS X.
