I was reading through the list archives and it would appear that serial support for the BSD's was in the works. I have installed OpenBSD on this tablet I have here, and I was attempting to get the driver working. Here is the system as it stands now: OpenBSD 3.3 XFree86 4.3.0 After setting up the serial port appropriately: pccom2 0x3e8 irq 4 Upon running wacdump with the following arguments, I noticed erratic behavior: wacdump -c serial -f c100 /dev/tty02 Sometimes wacdump just hangs, other times it opened up and was receiving junk data just for a moment. I understand this driver has not been actively tested on OpenBSD, but I thought I would try to lend a hand to see how portable this driver really can be. Plus, due to the fact that OpenBSD and NetBSD were derived from an original codebase, I cannot imagine that it would be too much of a stretch to get it working in OpenBSD (serial only I know.)
