NAME

wstablet - generic tablet support in wscons

SYNOPSIS

wstablet* at ums? mux 0
(USB tablet)

DESCRIPTION

The wstablet driver is an abstraction layer for tablet devices within the wscons(4) framework, and
closely resembles wsmouse(4). It is attached to the hardware specific tablet drivers, providing a child
character device interface which returns struct wscons_event via read(2). For use with X
servers, ``tablet events'' can be generated.

wstablet supports the following capabilities of common tablet hardware:

- absolute and relative x/y pointer location
- stylus tip pressure
- stylus twist (or sometimes referred to as rotation)
- stylus x/y tilt
- device identification strings for multiple stylus devices

Ioctls
The following ioctl(2) calls are provided by the wstablet driver or by devices which use it. Their
definitions are found in dev/wscons/wsconsio.h.
