[PD] Re: [PD-announce] new [hid] release + simple mapping objects

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

What kind of Wacom do you have?  I have tried one and it didn't work  
since it wasn't using the HID Manager API which [hid] uses.  Therefore,  
I haven't been able to test with tablets.  I might try to borrow one  
from someone else to see if it will work.

I just got a P5 glove, so its on the TODO list.
