Are you sure this has a Wacom compatible tablet? > which is supposed to work, but it hangs the entire system and nothing is > being written about it in > /var/log/Xorg.0.log > > the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/wacom script writes the device > into /etc/X11/xorg.conf as /dev/ttyd0, but we don't know if this means > that the os picks up the tablet or not. > > is there anyway to find out if the tablet is actually being recognized? Check if /dev/ttyd0 really exists. Also check dmesg output to see if the device is recognized. The input-wacom driver comes with a couple of programs (see /usr/ports/x11-drivers/input-wacom/pkg-plist) that might be helpfull as well, e.g. xsetwacom.
