I'm afraid this won't work at all, because the USB kernel module has never been ported to the new USB stack. > If not, do you recommend running the linux version > under binary compatibility? As said the trouble is the USB driver. The Linux version won't work either. The original developer of the driver has "disappeared" and there's a lot to be done. First the module has to be ported to the new USB stack. Support for the latest Wacom tablets has to be added to the module. It is unlikely that adding the device IDs suffices to achieve this. One would probably have to reverse engineer stuff or sign and NDA with Wacom. The interface between the kernel module and the Xorg driver is not stable, the module has to be adopted to the linuxwacom 0.10.8 interface. It would be a wise course to get the USB driver into the FreeBSD project, where all the USB gods have access. Regards, Dominic ----- End forwarded message -----
