Como esta, FreeBSD? 2011/01/23 13:23:50 -0700 Chad Perrin <perrin@apotheon.com> => To FreeBSD Questions : CP> On a fresh install of FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE, on a ThinkPad x60 tablet, CP> there is an input-wacom package already installed.

Google, thus far, has proven useless to me CP> on this subject. I used to drop my wacom problems here. Last time I've seen no uwacom.ko in /boot/modules was because of /boot was on a read-only mounted volume. Aother kind of my problem is: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=151596 Anyway, my best result for my wacom is with 7.3-release ports.tgz. I have a separate chroot for my Xorg-6.5 server and my X11 clients use TCP to connect to it. Let's see your problem by points: 1. Broken port. Is there any explanation why it's broken? anyway, there should be the way to override this although this may may not be a solution depending on the reason for port to be broken. 2. No uwacom.ko. Are you sure that it doesn't exist in your input-wacom/work directory when you successfully built the port? 3. You may note that ums(4) compiled into GENERIC statically, should not be present in your kernel before you try to kldload uwacom http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2009-January/189857.html And... ain't too much expectation from just a web search service ? ;-) 73!
