Subject: sponsoring to port the graphire USB tablet device driver to
FreeBSD


Hi,

I am putting some of you in the CC list because you expressed interest
in the past in having the graphire USB tablet device driver ported to
FreeBSD.

I'd like to sponsor a work in this direction, and I hope some of
you will join in with the amount of money you feel like.

There is a working device driver of the wacom USB tablet for Linux,
at http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/, which supports FreeBSD only
for serial.

What I would like is support in FreeBSD for the USB tablet, more
precisely
I'd like at least absolute positioning (opposed to relative positioning
like a mouse) and working with the Gimp.

The supported tablets should be at least the graphire 2.

I put 100 EUR on the table for this.

Anybody interested?

thanks
marco
