wacom

I have a wacom; "listusb -v" tells me it's a

Vendor ID .............. 0x056a (Wacom Co., Ltd)
Product ID ............. 0x00de (CTH-470 [Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch])

"listimage | grep drivers " tells me that a wacom driver is loaded:
1990 /boot/system/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/input/wacom 0x81887000 0x81889000 0 0

but I don't know if it's recognized and how to use it, since every move on the device is useless

Haiku uses two drivers for each Wacom device, a kernel driver and then a userspace "input server" driver.

The driver that's loaded on your machine is the kernel driver. This is actually rather clumsily triggered for all USB HID devices that claim to offer boot protocol mouse support, but the driver subsequently rejects non-Wacom devices. This part is working.

The other driver you need is the Wacom input server driver. Several Wacom tablet products are supported, but yours is not, so the tablet is ignored completely. You (or a developer on your behalf) will need to modify this driver to incorporate support for your particular model of tablet before it becomes usable.

You can eventually add an entry for your device (0xde) at http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/add-ons/input_server/devices/wac...

        case 0xDE:	// Wacom Bamboo CTH-470 (from Linux Wacom Project)
			SetDevice(14720.0, 9200.0, DEVICE_BAMBOO_PT);
			break;

and at http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/add-ons/input_server/devices/wac...

        case 0xDE:	
			*name = "Wacom Bamboo (CTH-470)";
			break;

then to rebuild the wacom input device addon: jam -q "<input>wacom"

It seems though that the packet format has changed from this generation of devices, only the stylus could work.
