Hi all,
it's perfectly possible to separate mouse and wacom tablet
inputs,by "capturing" the wacom.
I'm just curious. How is that "capturing" different from doing
appropriate adjustments to X.conf on a linux system which have been
suggested as possible workarounds?
It provides the same thing. It's just that Mac OS X and especially
Windows are not as flexible as GNU/Linux/XWindows in regards to
configuring this stuff. You can already do all this stuff with
Wacoms on GNU/Linux using [hid].
.hc
The major problem is that this is can only be done by using a non-
disclosed API. I was able to make an arrangement with wacom so
that they gave me the relevant specs, but i'm not allowed to
publish an object with open-source. It's possible to publish a
binary one, though.
I simply don't understand why companies that make hardware like
this wants to close the api like that. What gain can balance the
loss of potentional users (= buyers)?
The object is already working for MacOS but i haven't had time for
Windows yet. It will be part of vibrez_pure.
Great stuff. Can one just snap stuff/objects out of the vibrez_pure
build and add it else where? Also, apart from the wee intro text on
the website, can you share more info on the vibrez_pure project -
especially how it differs from the other distributions?
