Thinkyhead Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 However, I couldn't get TabletMagic2b14 installed with the installer reporting "There is nothing to install". Thus my question: is TabletMagic2b14 Leopard only, or should it also still install on Tiger? Thanks for the kudos, Wolf! The installer issues are caused I think by my misunderstanding of PackageMaker. I believe I need to increment the version number on the installer package so it knows it's newer than the other versions. In the meantime you can force the installer to install by first deleting anything that refers to TabletMagic in the /Library/Receipts folder.

nightalon Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hi Scott, I've had a couple issues on my Tecra M7 Tablet PC here with WACF004 in the plist file. The resolution keeps changing on me so that the entire panel only maps to a 100 square pixel square at the top-left corner of the screen. Changing the values in the "Do not query" boxes doesn't make any difference any more. One other thing, though: I have bluetooth working, so those serial ports show up as well. Also, autostart does not work, but I'll try your new version. You should post it on SourceForge as well! Here I thought I was using the latest version. Many thanks for your wonderful contribution! I love my triple-boot tablet, and I'm thinking of writing a guide soon. Essentially at this point there's nothing inhibiting me from using Mac profusely! (except screen rotation...rotation works on the external, but not on the internal...I wonder how the ModBook guys worked that one out, if they even bothered to try!) In terms of a graphics driver, I'm using GFX strings for my NVS Quadro 110M. I have external monitors on DVI (through a dock) and VGA (through a dock or not) although I haven't tested 3 monitors simultaneously in any of my operating systems. Again, thanks for all your hard work. NighTalon NYC and New Haven EDIT: Never mind, your latest version is wonderful with the "Get from digitizer" option! Please upload it to SourceForge and/or your website! Thank you so, so much!

Thinkyhead Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 in Apple16X50ACPI<key>IONameMatch</key><string>WACF004</string> I didn't paste this info into the file! Perhaps this was done by the "Enable Digitizer" button? ---after reboot in list of ports - Automatic Bluetooth-PDA-Sync Bluetooth-modem Yes, the "Enable Digitizer" button modified Apple16X50ACPI/Info.plist. However, as you can see your digitizer's serial port is still not showing up in the device tree. You might try using "Enable Digitizer" again, just in case the system didn't get the clue on the last reboot. If this still doesn't work, post the results of (in Terminal...) ioreg -l >TC4400.txt to this forum and I'll have a look at it. Also ask for help from other members of this community who have the same computer.

outZider Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Scott: Is the source you have on sourceforge up to date? I was hoping to poke around a little bit to check out the feasibility of a USB connector for TabletMagic, for unsupported Wacom devices on OS X. I was initially confused by the layout of the repository, but think I have it.

TabletMagic works fine under 10.5.5 on my G5 PowerMac and my Intel MacBook. Did you update to 10.5.5 via Software Update? (Don't do that!) And, does the "Enable Digitizer" button have no effect on which serial ports show up in the control panel? Troubleshoot and post your results.

rbenjamin Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I'm having some trouble getting tablet magic to recognize my tablet. No serial ports show up in the list, only "Automatic". It says No tablet found, and in the Testing section it doesn't respond to input. However, the tablet itself works after I edited the kext as told to earlier in the thread. It's just off by about an inch, which makes it almost impossible to use. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting tablet magic to work? I'm on a fujitsu lifebook t-series.

If you're using TabletMagic 2.0b15 you might be able to use the calibration controls under the TabletPC tab to get proper tracking. What happens when you try to use those?

rbenjamin Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 When I try to use the calibration, it doesn't seem to do anything. When I change the values and then reboot, the values reset. Edit: The values also reset as soon as I quit System Preferences.

rbenjamin Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 So, I was able to get tablet magic to recognize the tablet, but I still can't seem to get it calibrated. When I set a value in the digitizer range field, it resets when I restart and it doesn't seem to have an effect on the calibration. However, I may not be putting in the right values because I'm not sure what a good match would be. My screen resolution is 1024 by 768, does anyone have any suggestions for values for the Digitizer Rage or Mapping parts of the prefPane?

Hmm, I thought I had addressed the bug where the range was being lost, but I'll check it out. In 2.0b15 there's also a checkbox labeled "Get from Stylus" which you should be able to use to get the proper digitizer range just moving the stylus to the bottom-right corner of the screen. What values do you end up with when you use that function?

nervouschimp Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I am thinking about trying the ModBook drivers on a tablet pc. The modbook uses a wacom ISD-V4 serial tablet with a Prolific USB-to-serial bridge. So is it safe to assume that the ModBook drivers will work on any tablet pc with a ISD-V4 serial digitizer? My ModBook is in for repair, and it is going to be there for a while, because Axiotron is very, very slow in everything they do, so I would like to start experimenting on a tablet hackintosh. I was thinking of getting either the X61 or the hp 2710p. It needs to be a tablet that has all the essentials working. Any suggestions?

insanelycl Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Please help! I installed the latest version of TabletMagic (2b15) on my Toshiba R25 running Iatkos 10.5.5. My WACF004 tablet was loaded but the Daemon does not recognize it as a tablet. What's weird is that the "TabletPC" tab is nowhere to be found in the TabletMagic prefPanel! It worked flawlessly in Uphuck 10.4.9 and 10.4.11. Has anyone encountered such issue before? Thanks so much!

Thinkyhead Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 exact same problem here. Please provide the diagnostic output of TabletMagic, so I can see how the "Iatkos" kernel identifies itself. Open the application "Console" and press the Clear button, then kill and restart TabletMagic. One of the things TabletMagic prints is the "Machine ID" of your system. If the "Iatkos" kernel is identifying itself as a standard Mac kernel, then TabletMagic will need to be altered to account for it. Also, please provide the output of ioreg -l by opening Terminal and typing: ioreg -l >~/Desktop/ioreg.out On your desktop you will find the file ioreg.out. Attach that file to your reply to this forum. Thanks!
