You will have much better luck with the tablet using GNU/Linux. It'll work right now with Pd, and if you know how to mess with your X config, you can stop the wacom from acting as a mouse quite easily.

I had the idea to use such a tablet on Windows, but it seems impossible, because the WinXP wants to treat the device like a mouse. Obviously, we just want position data from it in Pure Data, but we want the OS to ignore the data and use the regular mouse.

Am I missing something? Is this possible on Win?

Alternately, I do have an old PIII laptop with Debian installed, and it seems that PD-extended is running on there fine. Would I have better luck using the tablet this way in Linux? I still don't really understand how Linux works or deals with devices though, so I'd be a total newbie at trying to get this running.

There is a test version of [hidio] working on Windows, including output support. We are working on making a release.

But Wacoms will only be supported by [hidio] on GNU/Linux because on Windows and Mac OS X, you have to install the Wacom drivers, which do not use the HID API, but instead their own custom API.

Hi,

I've been away for a while, and just wanted to ask something:

- has anyone tried anything with the following hardware + pd? http://www.wacom-shop.net/cgi-bin/wacom.storefront/DE/product/ PTZ-630G

- I was thinking about abusing that with [hid]. is it alredy working with windows (xp)?

Thanks,

Joao
