Drivers (using Windows graphic tablet drivers in Linux ???)

[hysterical]

I was wondering if it is possible to use drivers from a windows installation cd of a graphics tablet on a linux system? I got a few hits on google for it I just wondered if it was deffinately possible and how Id go about doing it?

[squeegy]

I don't think it's possible, unless on the cd in addition to windows drivers there are linux drivers.

No it just has different windows versions on there. It's just because I saw some stuff about it on google but they didnt explain how it would work.

Is there no linux support for said graphics tablet? What kind is it?

BTW: If you can get the Windows drivers to work with it without rewriting them, I'll award you 4,500 points.

It's a packagrd bell gt100 usb graphcis tablet and there are no drivers for linux that I can find.

I looked all over and didn't see anything. The only other thing I can think of is to enable any of the graphics tablet options in the kernel. Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll use the same chipset. But I doubt it.

There is at least one project out there to enable use of windows drivers in linux, but I can't remember its name. I don't know if they use some WINE code or what, but you might check out the WINE project, and maybe the people who sell the "crossover" software.

Kind of a 'bland' subject you used (Drivers).
