OK, I'll look elsewhere, try every other xinpout driver, there might have been something that used the same protocol.

The only 'pressure' is near the tablet or on the tablet. >> There is a patch you can goolge (xf86-input-wacom_git-20100511.patch) >> that contains the layout of wacom serial packets. OK.

It's from around 2000, but I it isn't wacom manufactured (it is numonics - they moved onto electronic whiteboards and never had a linux driver). > the format with the highest bit set in byte 1 but not in the others is > similar to ISDV4. the button flags in the first byte are a different layout > though. so it's similar to some extent, but definitely not the protocol we > currently support. Are wacom the only tablets in the market today ? Or the only ones with linux support still being developed ? I notice that Fedora dropped a lot of older xorg-x11-drv- input modules, that may have been for older tablets. I'm going to give them a try in case they might work. >From the wiki dev pages, if I wanted to write/modify to suit this device, it seems I would need kernel code/module and x module, is this correct ? Since wacom is in active development, would it make sense to base my code on the current wacom code ?
