Hi all,
it's perfectly possible to separate mouse and wacom tablet inputs,by
"capturing" the wacom.
The major problem is that this is can only be done by using a
non-disclosed API. I was able to make an arrangement with wacom so that
they gave me the relevant specs, but i'm not allowed to publish an
object with open-source. It's possible to publish a binary one, though.
The object is already working for MacOS but i haven't had time for
Windows yet. It will be part of vibrez_pure.
greetings,
Thomas

There is a test version of [hidio] working on Windows, including

But Wacoms will only be supported by [hidio] on GNU/Linux because
on Windows and Mac OS X, you have to install the Wacom drivers,
which do not use the HID API, but instead their own custom API.
that's a drag. there's now way to avoid that? do you know any other
tablets which allow pressure/tilt sensoring?
do you also know if it's possible to use this tablet and a mouse
together in windows? (that is, the tablet doesn't control the pointer)
I don't know the answer to either question, but also would be
interested in hearing answers...
The tablet and the mouse both work at the same time, so if both are
moving, you get a mix of both. It's the same if you plug two or more
mice into the machine, but the tablet has absolute position so the
cursor jitters if it's being driven by a mouse at the same time, while
the mouse relative offsets add together to make the cursor move.
Wacom seem to have APIs available for the usual suspects at
