Drivers
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?
-
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.
We'll get thisright yet!

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