Hi,

this virtual Wacom tablet you refer to... is there a [free or built-in]

Frankly, I do not know if they are free. But as nobody pays me to play
with QEmu, I do not care about Windows so much. And the Wacom drivers for
Linux are free.
BTW I prefer a virtual wacom tablet to Summagraphics, since kudzu (the
hardware detection which is used in Knoppix) can detect it. Unfortunately
just the USB version :-(
The USB version of the wacom tablet is not documented. Only the older
serial tablets are.

If so, perhaps I can look at implementing it in QEMU in my "spare" time
;) Do you have a link to documentation and/or drivers?
Wow! What an offer! I have some documentation somewhere, I just had a
look, and only found the Summagraphics documentation. I will look harder.
If the guest OS can't be easily told to not do any acceleration and/or
use absolute cursor positioning rather than relative moves, it's not
that helpful to have a new type of input device. I suspect a tablet
driver can be easily configured this way since design people who
probably use these devices want perfect precision between pointer and
screen - otherwise they'd probably just use a mouse/trackball. But you
can never be sure how Microsoft (or Wacom) decided to implement the
Windows version of the driver.
My favourite cartoonist, Jamiri, is very proud of his Wacom tablet. IIRC,
it has an integrated LCD display. So, I assume absolute positioning is
automatically switched on with that tablet.
The mouse sync solution we have in Win4Lin Pro is okay, but it's a bit
slow and I'd like to do something much cleaner. Of course if I do the
wacom tablet implementation, it will be open source and part of QEMU
itself.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Ciao,
