Ping. Can anyone confirm or deny whether or not the newer Thinkpad tablets' styluses work as an input device? I see that there is a usbtablet(4) driver in xenocara, with people reporting success using external tablets, so it would probably be a matter of whether or not the newer Thinkpads still use a serial-based wacom device as opposed to a USB-based one.
Since FreeBSD supports these serial based tablets with a kernel module and the linuxwacom driver, I'm assuming that it's probably going to require more than just a simple port to get this working. Even http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~whot/xf86-input-wacom/ which was created after X.org removed the X.org wacom input driver in favor of just using the linuxwacom driver says it still needs a driver to bridge the kernel<->userland parts. -- Bryan On 2014-04-21 16:26:36, Bryan Linton <b...@shoshoni.info> wrote: > Hello list, > > [dmesg attached below] > > I recently purchased a Thinkpad X61 tablet (manufactured circa > 2006) and have not been able to get the stylus to work with the > screen in OpenBSD.
