Re: wacom CTH-470, works only as mouse and with finger (not stylus)

Try it with Linux if you can't get it to work with OpenBSD (keep trying with OpenBSD, someone here may have some advice).

Hi Abel,

I can offer a tiny bit of assistance:

I recommend reading the article here about your device: https://news.sophos.com/en-us/2020/02/07/wacom-driver-caught-monitoring-third-party-software-use/

It's always good to be an informed consumer. :)

I think your approach is smart to try to get this to work with OpenBSD. If that doesn't work: https://linuxwacom.github.io/

From a quick read it seems to affect official wacom drivers, xorg in openbsd uses usbtablet and uhid which I don't think include
wacom corp code...

so, how is this relevant to the question?

I know I could use it on linux.
