mookid Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 A couple of months ago I came onto this forum complaining that my Wacom Bamboo was not working on Leopard. It would work without drivers in mouse mode, but would freeze up after driver installation. A lot of people were having issues with an old driver not being compatible with 10.5.2, but it was apparent that my issue was separate. After a lot of re-reinstalling drivers, double checking the removal of kext's and having an intimate knowledge of the Preference files, I now know what was causing the problem. The USB bus on my motherboard is underpowered! This was easily solved by adding a inexpensive, POWERED usb hub to my system. I can't believe it was that straight forward. I have to strongly point out that I mean a mains powered (wall-wart) hub.- not a passive splitter. I had to come back here and tell everyone as I know that a lot of people are understandably at the end of their tether. If anyone stumbles upon this post and it helps them out, please let us all know in a reply below! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
