![]() It’s slightly glossy, reflects a bit of the ambient light, and won’t remind you of the nearly invisible smartphone or laptop screen protectors out there. Honestly, I don’t care at all how it looks. The adhesive does show up in a bit of a spotty way, but it works perfectly and is easily removable if needed. Other than the different feel (which other reviews claim is more like the Intuos 3’s original surface, although I wouldn’t know about that myself), the only other thing to consider is how it looks. ![]() Of course, that is to be expected with less friction, which also promises to help lessen nib wear over time. The pen glides over the new surface much more easily as though it’s now a glossier surface. This brings us to actually using the tablet with the protector on it. Nevertheless, this makes it feel rather heavy-duty and creates what is very much its own writing surface. The POSRUS screen protector feels as though it’s high quality, but it’s definitely not thin by today’s slickest smartphone screen protector standards. I didn’t want to take a chance on getting the wrong size, having to cut it down, or not having adhesive line up properly. And so the day came when it arrived. I couldn’t find any other brand of screen protectors that made one just for this Wacom. I did my research (or at least I think I did). I got one in good condition and didn’t want its pretty surface to fade away under scratches as my Intuos 4 had done some time ago. When I discovered this, I ordered one right away for a secondhand Intuos 5 Medium tablet that replaced my older Intuos 4 (for the record, the Intuos Pro Pen and Touch is the current, latest and greatest version, but is very similar to the Intuos 5 with its seemingly identical feature set). Here, the adhesive strips were already taken off of the edges, but they're laid back over for illustrative purposes showing where they were before they were removed in order to apply the screen protector. Note: wacom-tools is not available from 10.04 so you can omit this.Yes, this thing is shiny enough to show a reflection quite well (which is maybe a bit more exaggerated in a photograph than it is to the eye). If for any reason you wish to revert to the version of the drivers provided by Ubuntu, you can do so by typing the following command in a terminal: sudo aptitude reinstall xserver-xorg-input-wacom wacom-tools Reverting the driver to the Ubuntu version This usually isn't necessary unless you are using an older kernel which does not support your tablet. ![]() Note2: if you also want to install the wacom kernel module, you need to add -enable-wacom to the. Note: if you have previously installed using the prebuilt drivers, you should clean these up before compiling: cd Desktop/linuxwacom-0.8.8-6/prebuilt If they are, you can try googling for the error text, or asking in the ubuntuforums support thread at You should make sure that "./configure" and "make" aren't returning errors. Note: wacom-tools is not available from 10.04, replace with xserver-xorg-input-wacom instead. tar.bz2 file: sudo apt-get install build-essential
