Wacom Device Driver v3.1
Wacom Control Panel v3.1


This release contains two distinct SGI inst(1M) packages:
	Package Name		Description
	wac_drv		- Wacom Tablet Driver
	wac_cp		- Wacom Control Panel

The Wacom Control Panel is not sufficient to run a tablet; you must 
install the driver first.  The Control Panel is optional; the driver 
will run as in previous releases without the control panel. 

1) Installation:

  The Install script will invoke inst to install both products; or you may
use inst(1M) or swmgr(1M) to install, update or remove either package.  
You must reboot after the installation completes to start using your 
new Wacom driver.
  To install, you must be superuser ("root"); type the following commands:
	% su
	# cd /CDROM
	# ./Install


2) Wacom Driver v3.1

Currently, the Wacom driver runs on IRIX 5.2 and 5.3 on all SGI platforms,
and IRIX6.2 on the following SGI CPUBOARDS:
	IP17, IP19, IP20, IP21, IP22, IP25, IP26.
(Check the output of hinv(1) to find your CPUBOARD type:
	CPUBOARD        type
	IP17            Crimson
	IP19            Onyx except 10000
	IP20            Indigo R4k*
	IP21            Power Onyx *
	IP22            Indigo 2, Indy R4&R5k
	IP25            Onyx 10000
	IP26            Power Indigo 2
	IP28            Indigo 2 10000)


The Wacom v3.1 driver adds some new features and corrects several bugs in
previous releases:
	Enhancements include:
	* Menu support for relative or absolute scaling (for UD rev1.4 and later
	  tablets);
	* Better support for landscape or portrait mode;
	* A complete set of ioctls to query the current tablet state (man 7 wacom);

	* Standard SGI installation and removal.

	Fixes include:
	* Puck buttons are supported correctly;
	* All tablets default to a pressure range of 0-255 (use the Control
		Panel to set a narrow range if required);
	* SD tablets work on Onyx platforms.

	* If no port has been selected by previous installation, the installation 
	  uses ttyd2, rather than ttyd1.  Moving the tablet to another port, e.g.,
	  ttyd1, can be accomplished with:
		% rm /dev/input/wacom
		% ln /dev/ttyd1 /dev/input/wacom


The driver has a complete man page for programmers, wacom(7).


3) Wacom Control Panel

New with this release, the control panel allows you to set/examine many common 
features of Wacom tablets, including pen and puck button mappings, tablet orientation, 
pressure sensitivity, scaling & relative mode, &c.

The control panel is SGI platform and OS independent; it will run on
IRIX 5.2, 5.3 & 6.2 (not tested on 6.1, but it should work) on any type
of SGI machine.

The control panel will not work properly with older wacom drivers.
Please install the 3.1 driver.

Control Panel features include:
	* Set buttons, pressure sensitivity, tablet orientation, etc.
	* Online Help (also a complete man page, wacom(1));
	* Personal (login based) saved state between sessions;

For online documentation, use either "man wacom" or the "Help!" button from the
control panel.
