Subject: Support for Acecad graphic tablets

Hello all,

I have a an Acecad/Medi@com graphic tablet. There are drivers for it
available on the Internet (see for examples
http://acecad.sourceforge.net/ and the pages linked from there,
although the wanadoo.fr page at the top is temporarily unavailable),
but it seems they have not been merged into mainline. Is there a
particular reason for it?

My first guess is that the folks who wrote it haven't submitted it
for whatever reason. Stuff that doesn't get submitted tends not
to get merged :)

Yes, I got an email reply "Merge is planned" :) Good to know.

BTW, is there something like a "generic HID tablet" driver available
(or even possible)? Something like a "generic keyboard" and "generic
mouse" ...
