No thanks, there wouldn't be anything in the log file related to this aspect of TM.

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have any ideas on getting tabletmagic to work with the wacom isdv4 that is connected to the internal usb hub of my Lenovo Thinkpad x220t? OSX detects the tablet out of the box but the stylus doesn't map to the cursor properly, it becomes progressively offset as you move the stylus to the edge of the screen. Perhaps if there is a way to scale tablet movement so that it fits to the screen using some native feature of OSX that would work - I've noticed this is a common situation but am yet to come across a solution.


Cheers

Have you tried adjusting the tablet dimensions under the TabletPC tab in the TabletMagic preference pane? There's no way to consistently detect tablet dimensions —except for those few digitizers that respond to '*'— so that's why this utility was added to the Preference Pane.

Thanks for your reply Scott! That's another mystery - the tabletpc tab doesn't appear - not as far as I can see. Where would I find it exactly (I have looked - a lot, and tried to use -F also). Does Tabletmagic work with a tablet connected over internal usb? I should add that when I say OSX detects the tablet out of the box - I mean it works without any 3rd party drivers installed. I'd prefer to use tabletmagic because it'd allow me to remap the interface so that the cursor lines up with the stylus.

this is not a fix, but you're going to freakin' love this! http://www.orderedbytes.com/

amazingly, I can get basic touchscreen support going with this by taking input from the isdv4 touch and routing it to a virtual tablet device, similar to the joystick example on the site.

I managed to successfully install OSX 10.7.2 on my Motion LE1700, complete with tablet support, thanks to this fine person that made Tabletmagic.  I do have a backup, but now that I've upgraded to 10.7.4 (via combo update), I can't make the tablet work again.  

I've tried removing Apple16x50Serial.kext, rebooting, and putting it back with Kext Helper (and I checked inside it to make sure it referenced WACF004.)  It does detect serial0, and Tabletmagic says it's a Tablet PC.  Console output gets the geometry, if that's any help.  I don't know anything else to tell you that would be useful.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

I got it 2.0b17d2 working on a Motion M1400, with 10.5.7, by adding 'PNP0501' to the string list in the plist.
