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.

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.

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.

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

Like I said, this is useful only for a Linux distro running X Server, which OSX does not.

 

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.

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?
