Tablet on Amiga

[Ponos2D]

I bought Aiptek8000U USB tablet!

It works on Spider with Poseidon but it does not work as it should! It works just like mouse and that is not good for drawing in paint program like TVPaint! I can't draw good circles and curves.
I installed tablet on my sisters PC, and there works GREAT! When I draw circle, it is circle. Pointer is placed on monitor, exactly the same place where you move pen on tablet. Margines of tablet drawing area are actually edges of monitor screen!
Is it possible to make tablet work like this on Amiga?

Thanks

Though my graphics tablet is nothing like yours. Its Serial and Genius, but it works properly, as it should. Its possible on the Amiga. I have no idea how you make yours do it though sorry.

Where have you been lately?

I only have a Graphire Wacom tablet, but perhaps I can
point you in the right direction. It sounds like you have
"relative" operation on - that is, it works like a mouse, and
if you lift the pen and put it on down elsewhere on the
tablet, the cursor will still be on the place it was when you
lifted. What you want is "absolute" operation - the place
you put the pen equals a place on screen. I set this in the
tooltypes for the driver - don't know where you can
change it though.
 
If you still have problems to get a "proper circle", it might
be that the pixel ratio (the scale) of your tablet is set
differently to your screen. This too should be controllable
from tooltypes (or some preference-file you might have).
Supposedly the Amiga default settings is not as
streamlined as on the PC.
 
To be honest, I haven't heard of this tablet being usable on
the Amiga (haven't kept tabs on USB development
though). Do you really have Amiga-specific drivers?

I would guess nothing more than the bootmouse.class or hid.class on Poseidon.

Is there some sort of preference that you can set using Poseidon? To be honest I know very little about Poseidon, so you might be best off looking at the web site and if that doesn't help, you could try emailing Chris Hodges.
