  Thank you for your interest. At the moment, there are no plans for Windows because we use only open-source software. However, as the protocol is open, it shouldn’t be too hard to make a Windows driver for everyone who is experienced on that platform.

  Hey Bernhard thanks for your quick reply! I have a firewall program but it is not on. Its funny, I just tried everything that I tried before I went to bed but now it just suddenly started working! I had the firewall off but when I turned it on but with opening port 40118 it just started working The good news is everything was as it should be. I was thinking that maybe the drivers were not installed correctly. Going to make a small but sincere donation now because this is a cool app/feature, and especially since it supports Linux! Cheers!

  Currently, there is only the horizontal orientation. It would be very helpful to me, and other HTC EVO View owners on ICS, because the pen does not work properly with horizontal orientation, only vertically. However, it works the pen works perfectly on stock Honeycomb 3.x. Is it possible to lower the API, or at least add vertical orientation support?

However, this kind of feature in non-trivial since you’d have to stream-back the drawn data (in the desktop application) to the tablet. This whould cause very much network overhead and also it would be laggy drawing too. You’re not alone with your wish. We’ve often heard this request already, but I’m sorry to say that it will not come to gfxtablet for a while… Hi: Many thanks for your very prompt response. However, I didn’t mean that GfxTablet should stream-back the drawn data to the tablet - what would be drawn on the tablet would just help in locating already drawn letters (resp. lines, curves) on screen ; having exactly the same drawing/image/figure on the computer and on the tablet is not needed ; respecting colors (say) would be nice, but not necessary. The simplest way would be to have an option that stylus displacement (when appled on tablet) would draw a segment between consecutive position events on the tablet, that’s it, so the only cost in time would be sending a call to the SurfaceFlinger widget on Android, that’s it - (possibly additionally enlarging the protocol to include “new color” events, optionally, but this is not a real priority for me …) I enclose here a very simple app I am developping on my linux box to make white board presentations (righ now, either with a wacom tablet “blindly”, or with a Boogie Board - much more satisfactory, as the Boogie board actually draws what you are writing ; this small enhancement in GfxTablet would allow doing the same with the Galaxy Note). Best, Jean-Pierre Demailly

  If the “address is already in use”, then there’s already an instance of networktablet running. Try to log out, log in again and then run “./networktablet” in the console only once. Edit: I have made a new version of the networktablet driver (please re-compile) that gives better status info.

  I’m happy that you like the app. GfxTablet pressure sensitivity is handled by the MotionEvent API automatically. I think if there’s no hardware support for pressure, the API tries to emulate it – so the pressure info should be available to all apps, no only GfxTablet.

  I see. I was working under the assumption that the driver installed something and was complete, now I understand that it acts as a server so I have it working now.

  doh! After debugging with tcpdump and seeing the packets arriving on my laptop, but nothing happening on networktablet, I started to doubt that the firewall was really off. Fedora used to use iptables but shutting that off is not how it works anymore. sudo systemctl stop firewalld.service did it.

  Great hint. You are right, it was device configuration. I had some problems with this, but finally problem has been solved. I had never used a graphic tablet, so excuse me, and thank you.

  As per this answer on AskUbuntu http://askubuntu.com/a/6643, the uninput module isn’t automatically loaded in Ubuntu 10.04 to manually load it: sudo modprobe uinput to automatically load it on startup: echo 'uinput' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules Also note that /dev/uinput requires sudo access so to run NetworkTablet you need to sudo ./networktablet
