[Bug 522318] Re: Serial Tablet PCs not supported in lucid

 

Legacy serial tablet support is available for Lucid and Maverick using a
patch set to add a modified linuxwacom serial driver to xf86-input-
wacom-0.10.6.  See "HOW TO Set Up a Wacom Serial Tablet in Ubuntu":
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1780154

Additionally a new wacom_serial.ko (protocol 4) by tokenrove and
wacom_serial5.ko (protocol 5; Intuous and Intuos2) by roaldfre are being
developed.  They are currently in a working testable form.  These will
provide support for legacy serial tablets in Natty and later in
conjunction with inputattach.  Links in the above HOW TO.

Candidate udev rules are available.

The current udev rules for ISDV4 serial Wacom tablets (serial tablet
PCs) are available on the mediawiki:
