The HID driver doesn't parse Digitizer data properly which, is why Wacom, etc requires custom drivers for their digitizers. Same for our digitizers. As far as I know, Digitizers have never been parsed properly by the HID Driver. I can get more details on what is not parsed properly by the HID Driver but, it will take some time.

I thought the consensus was that it really wasn't a HID device, so the separate driver was acceptable. Or is this incorrect? thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
