I don't see any tilt data in the wacom structure for Tablet PC (tpc) capabilities for linuxwacom-0.7.8-3:

Code:
#define TABLETPC_CAPS (WACOMVALID(TOOLTYPE)|WACOMVALID(SERIAL)| \
                WACOMVALID(PROXIMITY)|WACOMVALID(BUTTONS)|WACOMVALID(POSITION_X)| \
                WACOMVALID(POSITION_Y)|WACOMVALID(PRESSURE))
However, this is based on a reverse engineered driver, so the capability may be there but not yet understood by the Linux developers.

So you don't see what you're drawing on the iLiad, it just shows up on the PC?
Right -- nothing shows up on the iLiad. The screen shows what ever was last viewed on it, but since the X server is killed as part of running my script nothing shows on it. As a future project I might switch to a UDP server on the iLiad that does some sort of image or toolbox display and allows for "hot plugging" of the tablet, but for now it is just a tabla rasa.

It looks like you're running some kind of linux on the PC -- any particular flavor?
I'm running FC4 on my desktop -- 485 days of uptime!
