Hi list,
I switched to mac. Now I'm trying to get my tablet working somewhat like my setup in linux land.
Thomas Grill wrote an object for OS X using the new wacom API, no? I looked for this on the list but couldn't find a working link. Anyone have it or source code that they could pass to me?

I think some information was on this thread,
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2009-05/070202.html. Or just
go to him directly.

Yea, I meant to forward this to Thomas, but you/he seems to read the list frequently, I suppose I will now anyway.
I miss my wacom.
Actually, I was wondering something else too, Thomas or others who use a wacom tablet on macs. Do you keep it as a pointer device, or is there a way to turn this off? In linux, I was able to just disable it as a pointing device so it was solely a controller in pd.

can you post instructions about that somewhere? I might be trying to do
that, but the control of hid changes with each linux version (which is the
same time frame as I try to use linux).
Hi Rich, you probably remember jeff treviño (maybe remember me), I know he just got a wacom tablet working with some old cnmat object:
best,

In the most recent version of Ubuntu, I had to turn off HAL and go back to just using xorg.conf. You can follow a very confused thread (on my part) about this, which eventually leads to success: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=a3297bc90905291044q...
... but, essentially you need to remove the hal configure scripts, then make sure the Mouse section in your xorg.conf file does not point to '/dev/input/mice', but to whatever your mouse actually is. Then your tablet will just spit out events without controlling the pointer.

I have used this exact trick to make a huge number of x/y controllers out of spare mice, ie. having one mouse controling the X pointer and the rest just send pd events.
On a mac or linux?

Sorry, should have specified, this was using debian and dyne:bolic Linux.

Thanks, Thomas!
My wacom has just been lying around ever since I've been in mac world.. such a shame, it is so boring going back to a keyboard to make melodies.
Sorry to hear about your server, I hope you get it all fixed.
