I am happy owner of Wacom Graphics Tablet Bamboo "Touch & Fun" CTH 460.
It can draw with finger touch and with stylus and it also emulates mouse. It supports also multitouch.
Accuracy is circa 120 dpi with touich system, but I think it is lesser as drawing with fingers is very inaccurate.
With stylus on PC Wintel systems it works like charm.
I own this great powerful tool but unfortunately it does not work properly with MorphOS as MOS UISB stack just rcognize its touch feature and just in emulating mouse function.
It does not even recognize finger tapping, as mousebutton pressing.
I must press onboard tablets buttons for left and right mousebutton emulation.
In the past I tried to use wacomfix.elf software by Yomgui. It resolves Poseidon Stack issues and allow Intous tablets to work with MorphOS, but it was written for Yomgui Intous Wcom Tablet and when I launch this fix it just hang-ups Bamboo Tablet indefinitely. A reset is required to make it working again.
Tablet is binded in Poseidon as HID.Class so I also tried to edit HID.Action preferences.
Unfortunately again seems that Poseidon has not sympathy for USB devices that sport multiple functions and are binded to 2 or more classes.
Everytime I tried to make Poseidon recognize Bamboo as Digitizer Action feature in the Action preferences of Poseidon, it reverts to Mouse even before saving prefs.
There should be some issues that originates from my tablet device.
Yesterday I discovered that Alexandre Balaban modified a tablet driver by Andy Broad in AmigaOS4 camp in 2012 and has resolved problem issues of new models of Wacom Tablets with features of a GPL driver from Linux that integrates in USB stack of OS4.

As long as this Driver is GPL and complete of sources (and updateable in the future) is it possible to integrate this driver with Poseidon HID.Class or make it working standalone on MorphOS?
Be aware that mine is a simple question not a obliged request for a porting (I made this disclaimer before the casual readers could start complain as usual on threads like this one)
