I am in need of a device which will show what I write on a pad in computer
screen - this will help while I read or draw some thing and want that in
digital form. Is there any such device that works with Linux? What is the
average cost of such device? It will be good if I could get something for
about 500Rs.
The device you're looking for is called a Graphics Tablet. There may be
cheaper devices / second hand devices available within your budget but I'd
say the ones from 'wacom' are the sought after value-for-money deal (will
cost you about Rs.2000/- at a min, IIRC). I have a "Wacom Bamboo" model
tablet - and I use it extensively with gimp for hobby graphics work.
"gromit" is a useful screen-pointing / drawing utility that may also be
very handy for rough-work / demo-like uses.
