Hi kiyoshi7,

You didn't say what release of Ubuntu you are using. The UC-Logic tablets use the WizardPen driver. You want to install DoctorMO's PPA: https://launchpad.net/~doctormo/+archive/xorg-wizardpen Instructions for the tablet are on the WizardPen wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen

Have you installed the driver from the PPA?

i tried installing using the 2nd link u gave me and it keeps giving me this:

daniel@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wizardpen
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package xserver-xorg-input-wizardpen


edit:

i tried skipping ahead and was able to get to the the part of downloading and installing the driver but i get this:

daniel@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install bzr
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
bzr is already the newest version.

daniel@ubuntu:~$ bzr branch lp:wizardpen
You have not informed bzr of your Launchpad ID, and you must do this to
write to Launchpad or access private data. See "bzr help launchpad-login".

i tied downloading the driver from the site https://launchpad.net/wizardpen but i dont know what to do with it....

edit 2

ok i tired a lil more and was able to follow all the install steps with no problem but when i have to check the integrity it tells me the dir. doesnt exist here is the line im using:
ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.*
