My Wacom doesnt work on my Mac!!

[Hammi]

so my laptop ran out of battery today due to a shitty charge plug, and i decided to resort to my macbook pro instead but then i realize as i plug my wacom tablet into it... theyre not compatible with each others, at all (it just acts like a regular mouse)

there are drivers available yes, but for windows only and the one i got (volito2) isnt even mac os x certified

ive tried installing intuos/graphire drivers for os x instead but still no luck

so does anyone happen to know a trick or two on how to work around this issue and still make it work somehow?

Haha Im here to help !!

Okay first question how do you use your wacom tablet ? and what model is it ?

Now when you go to system prefs your tablet is displayed right ?

[Hammi]

well its a wacom volito2 graphic tablet and its a tad old... the requirements on the carton state that i need a pc with xp and up

i just simply plug it into the usb port and it acts just like a mouse which means i have to drag the pen around on the tablet to make the cursor move, when its actually supposed to pop up anywhere on the screen wherever i point the pen at on the tablet

and no the tablet is not present in system preferences nor do i have config files lying around cause i have no drivers installed which is why it does not function properly in the first place... i need drivers man, for mac which do not exist unless i use an existing alternative that could trick the mac to accept my tablet

OH I see, dang. I'm not sure about the older models. I have only ever had a chance of using a lot of the newer ones.

DRivers will be tricky,,,give it a google and see if anyone has hacked it ?

[Hammi]

yeah ive tried searching on google, and i got suggestions about using graphire/intuos drivers in the place of volito2 instead to trick os x to accept my tablet (though with limited features and settings)

it didnt work, for me

but i guess its not really THAT urgent anyway, i was just thinking of in case of emergency if i had to use mac instead of my acer which is now full of life again... though it wouldve been great if i could achieve the same functionality on the mac as well!

Companies seriously suck when it comes to giving mac functionality on older products.
