The frustration Windows users often experience is reflected in a
clickable link I found in Windows XP's online help: "I still can't scan."

Well, I have 5 VSXXX-AB tablets, but it seems X11 can't handle these
things. the mouse moves in a very strange way: if I just move the puck,
the cursor moves to the bottom left of the screen. if I hold down one of
the buttons and then move the mouse, it moves either horizontally,
vertically or diagonal... I guess this is because the tablet sends an
absolute position to X11, and X11 thinks this is a mouse delta or
something...

Has anyone ever tried to get a tablet to work with X11 on NetBSD alpha ?
