[comp.sys.sgi] setting up a tablet

KJB6@psuvm.psu.edu (03/06/91)

Has anyone every successfully set up a tablet on an SGI system using 3.3. I
am having a difficult time setting one up. I am using a Summasketch II tablet.
I would like this to come out of ttyd2, I have printer in ttyd1. Any suggestion
 would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ken

Ken,
  We have a Summasketch which has been sitting unconnected next to our
4D/70GT (soon to be a 4D/340VGX!) for several months.  I have noticed in
the vadmin tools that their is a confidence test for a tablet, but which
one I don't know.  We have 3.2.2 still, but that will change shortly.
Please let me know if you get any helpful responses.

Thanks,

have either of you scoped out the 

	/usr/people/4Dgifts/examples/devices/bpex.c

bitpad example program?  i can't guess if summasketch is intelligible to
the hitachi driver that sgi uses/implements, but if yer bitpad is compatible
w/sgi's driver, then this prog shud work fine for you as well.

    I have a Kurta tablet that I have been trying to get working on a
VGX 320 and haven't had any success.  The only information I could find
in the manuals is the tabletd entry and one in the users guide that says
use the System tools to install one.  Is there any documentation stating
what the SGI driver is expecting?  There isn't even any mention of a baud
rate for the tablet!
    I looked in /usr/people/4Dgifts/examples/devices, the README file
says tabletd.c used to be included in that directory, but not any more.
Can I get a copy of this?!!!  Thanks for ANY help.
