I use [linuxevent /dev/wacom] in linux... plus an abstraction. Works fine and provides everything I need. [hid] does work, but you have to know exactly what /dev/* file to tell it to look at (it won't take the /dev/wacom symlink). <br>
<br>Windows should be the only one that needs the official wacom driver.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 7:48 PM, Hans-Christoph Steiner <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hans@at.or.at">hans@at.or.at</a>></span> wrote:<br>

You can just use the linux input API to get the wacom data, [hid] works with wacoms in GNU/Linux, at least last time I tried.<br>

Isn't there actually a reverse engineered Wacom driver for Linux?<br>
Couldn't this be used instead of having to ask permission from Wacom?<br>
<br>

<br>
I too think it would be great to have cross-platform wacom support,<br>
but I think it would be even better if there was a "libwacom" C API<br>
for all operating systems for which the Pd "wacom" object was a simple<br>
wrapper.<br>

Hello Pd developers and programmers,<br>
<br>
we - me and Johannes Kreidler for now - wanted to ask if anyone would be<br>
interested in programming a version of Thomas Grill's [wacom] for windows<br>
(and unix, if possible). This external is used to take data from wacom<br>
tablets - so in case anyone else is interested in this please say something.<br>
<br>
The features/work would include:<br>
<br>
- be compatible with general wacom architecture - and specially with the<br>
Intuos3 (which is the tablet we own)<br>
- take all parameters from the tablet connected<br>
- not forgetting tilt+inclination, touch strips and keys (these aren't<br>
covered by [wintablet])<br>
- put the compiled binaries in a svn folder packaged with Pd Extended (see<br>
below)<br>
- be willing to do some maintenance now and then, specially until things<br>
get stable (after that, I guess the work would be kind of finished)<br>
<br>
According to T Grill, the developer(s) that work on this must register<br>
with Wacom as developer(s), so that they have access to the wacon API.<br>
Also, the source code cannot be given away, so they must sign a<br>
non-disclosure contract (from what Thomas said, not as complicated as it<br>
sounds). I couldn't find exact information about this, but at<br>
<a href="http://www.wacomeng.com/devsupport/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.wacomeng.com/devsupport/index.html</a> might be something more<br>
clear.<br>
<br>
It would be perfect if someone would be interested in porting the code<br>
just because. In case that doesn't happen, we - me, Johannes Kreidler and<br>
whoever wants to join in - would be interested in giving a small payment<br>
for the work. We're poor people (just like you), so we can't really pay<br>
what a professional programmer should get for the work. In that case, just<br>
get in discussion with us, and we'll see what can be done.<br>
<br>
Again, if this interests someone else - either as developper or<br>
contributor - please forward this mail away.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Joćo Pais<br>
