JSn1™ Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hi!!! I have seen a lot of people with success using their Tablet PC's (Wacom) However, I haven't seen a FinePoint Tablet working with OSx86. Please help!!! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48213-finepoint-tablet-pcs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba129 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hey JSN1 I too have a finepoint and have been looking for a solution for a long time. The short answer is there is none and I dont know when there will be one. So far I have tried every Wacom driver out there in hopes that by some fluke it would work but no there are no drivers.

JSn1™ Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Well, probably we have to ask for help to a programmer. However, there is a guy that says that he managed to get the Gateway M275 Tablet Working. I did some research, and found that M275 uses FinePoint. I PM him to know more about that.

Dainix Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 You may be thinking of getting a Finepoint Tablet PC to work in Linux. The guys over at LinuxQuestions.org were able to get the pen functions to work. If OSX used X Server, implementing it would be cake.

JSn1™ Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Ok, I found some nice info about it. In the drivers forum, there is a someone making some drivers, maybe we can ask him for help. I found this information, probably, we are going to need it in the future, Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Tablet" Driver "fpit" Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0" Option "AlwaysCore" "on" Option "InvertY" Option "MaximumXPosition" "12550" Option "MaximumYPosition" "7650" Option "MinimumXPosition" "400" Option "MinimumYPosition" "400" Option "SendCoreEvents" EndSection /dev/ttyS0 port 0x03F8 irq 4 baud_base 38400 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48213-finepoint-tablet-pcs/#findComment-345501 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What forum topic is this "guy" making a driver for Finepoint tablets? I have a CX210X that would prove to be very nice if this were implemented.

Ferret-Simpson Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 As I said, Scott's only just looking at it now, all I can reccomend is to download his logging version and try it out. You will also need to find a kext patch for the finepoints. do an "ioreg -lx" in the terminal, and look for anything that may reference the finepoint. We want a short ioname string, e.g. WAC005 WAC004 FUJ02E5 ok?
