It should have come with a driver disc--did you install it?

spiker369 I found this add for the tablet....interestingly in the System Requirements there is no mention of Mac compatibility...might explain why it only works in Windows

I am not doubting what you read only maybe a mix up somehow

I really doubt you'll get it to work on a machine running Leopard. You might be able to get it working through the "Classic" environment (an emulation of OS 9) on earlier versions of OS X, but Leopard doesn't support the "Classic" environment.

I think you're stuck using Windows through BootCamp, unfortunately =/

The last part of your post indicates the disk that came with the tablet only has drivers for Windows....then where did you get the OS X drivers?

Using your link and then going to 'Products'....I don't find a Mac OS X driver for the 6000 series of their graphics tablet?

http://www.uc-logic.com/products/products.htm#

I would contact them for an answer...

Out of curiosity I tried to install the OS X driver under Tiger 10.4.11 and was successful....but I don't have the tablet...so perhaps it is just not updated for Leopard 10.5?

...contact them

well the drivers on the site are for all digipro tablets, and if i was to instal tiger in a vm it would be the same as just running the bootcamp partition in vmware so i guess i am stuck with that 😟
