I am using slackware 10 and have the acecat III. I know it is supposed to work with acecad_drv, when I follow instructions for the driver and change my xorg.conf I end up with a blank screen when I restart x. I am not sure if there is some special config for the acecat III, or whether its the driver. Can someone please help????
Give us a bit more information, like if you've enabled anything extra in the kernel or not, what versions of X and kernel you got, what "instructions you followed", what are the errors that come out (the logs)
The kernel is win4lin enabled 2.4.26
I have "nvidia" driver for x
xorg version number 6.7
xinerama going too
some of the instructions
Edit XF86Congif-4:
[...]
Section "ServerLayout"
[...]
InputDevice "stylet" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "stylet"
Driver "acecad"
# Absolute or Relative (I don't have test Relative yet)
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
# Model can be Flair or A-Series
Option "Model" "Flair"
# You can choose report speed between 2, 10, 85 and 120 report/second.
# 120 is very fine but need a lot of CPU.
Option "ReportSpeed" "120"
# This lets you choose how the buttons are mapped. Only tested for
# A-Series model. Choices are Standard or Acecad

I got it working with old xf86AceCad.so driver that is built into mouse driver. All I had to do was specify protocol as "AceCad" and driver as "mouse". I had no luck with the acecad_drv for the acecat III. Its an old tablet I spoze. Cheers
