[Linuxwacom-discuss] new gateway C-140X tablet pc, no luck

[Jordan B. <jor...@gm...>]

I have a new gateway tablet pc C-140X with a a wacom device connected via
serial.  (I'm sure it's wacom because it says so in the manual and windows
vista uses a wacom driver).  Most other gateway laptops use the finepoint
driver, but not the newer ones i guess.
I've tried everything below with both the latest stable and development
versions of linuxwacom.
i figured out setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 06a8 via windows vista (looking into
the device manager).  still wacdump /devttyS0 -f tpc is the only command
that shows any ncurses-like screen and that shows error messages:
'Parse Data:  1 Invalid argument' and
'WARN: Resetting tablet due to bit errors.'
i've tried various configurations of xorg, however i'm not sure i've made it
that far in the process.  After configuration, the cursor just jumps around
randomly.  I saw that there was initialization code for the hp latptops, and
was wondering if i needed that, but was afraid to play around with it
because it wouldn't compile (the version in the documentation) because of
lack of include files and because it was written for a different port and i
didn't see any easy way to change that.  Any information on this matter
would be greatly appreciated...
