To: hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 04:51:58 +0100 (MET) Cc: mgp-users@mew.org X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG does anyone have experience with graphic tablets -- particularly with cheap serial units ? i have tried one (a kid's model, "Wacky pad") and it seems not to talk any protocol recognized by moused. This one seems to talk at 9600, emits 5-byte strings with some strange absolute coordinate encoding which i managed to translate into a reasonable x,y format with a little bit of debugging, but i am wondering if there is some standard about this. [why i am looking at this ? to make use of the 'jotting' mode in mgp!] thanks luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
