Wizardpen X driver

November 02, 2010 — BarryK
I posted earlier today about the 'wizardpen' X driver, that handles a wide range of tablet input devices:

Most of these are much cheaper than the Wacom tablet input devices, and I am thinking of buying one. So, have compiled the driver in readiness.

This website lists the supported tablets:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen
...but more are apparently supported, such as (apparently) the XP-Pen brand.

If you have Wary 094 running, and a supported tablet, here is the PET to experiment with:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/xorg-input-wizardpen-0.8.0-w5.pet
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/xorg-input-wizardpen_DOC-0.8.0-w5.pet

...there may be some setting up required, read the online docs.

Note, as Wary uses Xorg 7.3, this driver might also work in Puppy 4.3.1.
