Hi, Suse installation is going well for me. Now I'm getting greedy.
I have a Drawing Slate II graphics tablet that replaces the mouse under win 95 and NT.
Does anyone know how to hook it up under linux? Is there a separate module to be loaded for graphics tablets?
There is nothing on Calcomp's website except some .drv file which supposedly runs under com1 only on SCO.
I would like to set it up to run separately from my mouse. My serial mouse is com1, I would like the tablet on com3.
Anyone know if it's possible?
Hi, I don't know if your tablet is supported, but some are. Look in the XF86Config man page: The optional XInput section is used to specify configura tion options for the extended input devices. For some OSs, the extended device support is dynamically loaded, and in this case you need to specify which Modules to load in the Module section (this is documented above). Each extended device has its own subsection. To enable an extended device the corresponding subsection must appear. The subsections names are: Joystick (only on supported systems ie. Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD) WacomStylus (stylus of a Wacom tablet) WacomEraser (eraser of a Wacom tablet) WacomCursor (cursor of a Wacom tablet) Elographics (Elographics touchscreen) SummaSketch (SummaSketch tablet) Mouse (Mouse) Ciao, BB PS: I'm not a X expert, so please ask me more detailed questions about tablets... :-( -- Bodo Bauer S.u.S.E., LLC fon +1-510-835 7873 bb@suse.de 458 Santa Clara Avenue fax +1-510-835 7875 http//www.suse.com Oakland CA, 94610 USA -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
