USB tablets won't work, I think (see <URL:http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/all>). | | I recognize that FreeBSD and similar systems have USB support; | however, until someone can bridge the gap between the FreeBSD | kernel and the XFree86 driver, the problem is largely unsolved. I've googled quite extensively for that a while back and came up with pretty much nothing (except for some posters whose questions about tablets remained unanswered). I'd actually love to be proved wrong here. ;) Cheers, Mario -- "Für Gegner der Reform wird ein Wagen, der an die Wand gefahren wurde, nicht dadurch wieder flott, dass man zwei seiner Räder für intakt erklärt." -- Hermann Unterstöger, SZ, über die Rechtschraipreform
