FLASH: I have the wacom problem, tried everything

[Victoriano, Tito]

Anna,


Yes, it took me some time to get it to work but finally I did. See if the

following helps you. The reason my Wacom ArtZ II went wacko in the first

place, was an upgrade to OS 9.0. To get my tablet to work again I had to

install Wacom's driver version 2.6.5B1 (yes, it's a beta release but works

fine). I am on a G3, so I had to attach a 'Keyspan USB to serial port

adapter' to handle Wacom's port, making sure the port was active by setting

Wacom's driver to 'Printer Port USB.' 


Next, I started FreeHand did some lines with the mouse - not the pen - and

then, I tried the pen. To my surprise, the pen seemed to be stuck on one

tool, the line if I recall correctly, and I couldn't get it to work

normally. Well, to make a long story short, I rebooted the machine, did NOT

touch the mouse and this time the tools on FreeHand worked fine. I had this

problem once again, but now I knew what to do. I have not being able to

replicate the problem though, but this is a bug with this driver - mouse and

pen don't seem to like each other all the time - definitely.


The Wacom ArtZ II settings are.


Serial Port


Scaling Setup

Method: normal

Orientation: Landscape

Scale Tablet: Portion of Tablet

To display: Entire Display

Aspect: Proportional


I hope it helps.
