Recommended graphics tablet for Lubuntu
Re: Recommended graphics tablet for Lubuntu
Welcome to InkscapeForum!
I don't think any graphics tablet is better than another, as far as Inkscape is concerned. The developers do seem to keep Inkscape compatible with tablets these days. It seems to me that they place more importance on graphics tablets, then printers! I think all tablets work with Inkscape, but the same cannot be said of printers.

I'm using Arch Linux with XFCE, and my simple Bamboo tablet works just fine 
Re: Recommended graphics tablet for Lubuntu
Any graphics tablet that works on Linux should work in Inkscape. It's just an input device that is handled by the OS. Inkscape has little to do with that. Only when it comes to pressure sensitiveness it has to be supported by Inkscape, which it does. I had good experience using a Wacom Bamboo and on my IBM x41T (which also uses Wacom technology). You had to tell Inkscape you're using a graphics tablet in 0.46, but I never had to on my X41T running 0.48 2.
