 Hi!

I guess I should have said getting it working on 8.x and later, I
suppose the input-wacom port currently in ports still can be made
to work with the old usb stack in 7.x.

 Sorry... :)

I might be missing something but does this tablet have a webcam built
into it ? this is me not understanding the use of webcamd.

No.  webcamd has become kind of a misnomer, it's in fact just a `wrapper'
for several kinds of Linux usb kernel drivers to run them in FreeBSD
userland.  (We have now at least webcams, dvb tuners, IR transceivers,
and usb tablets. :)

 HTH,

Oh god, thank you for mentioning this. I've been personally keeping
webcamd out of my installations as we don't need no stinkin webcams
here, but this is something completely different based on what you say
(especially the Wacom support).

Was there any push to rename webcamd to something more meaningful yet?

In my talk at EuroBSDcon I said that webcamd might be renamed in the future. 
Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Well if you insist on the d ending, something along, say, usblinuxd?

Or possibly kmodlinux[d], if USB isn't going to be the absolute target
forever...
