Looking for someone with Wacom Intuos using 10.4.9 on PPC
I am looking for someone who has a Wacom Intuos2 or Intuos3 Tablet and is running OS 10.4.9 on a PPC. I am getting real irratic behavior on both my G4 Powerbook and my Dual 2-Gig G5 with both the Intuos2 and 3 tablets when I use the mouse? (Pens work fine).
What I have noticed is that most of the time when say dragging a cursor marquee in the Finder, the LEDs will flash on the tablet and the cursor will start drawing new marquees with the mouse button continually held down? When I run diagnostics in the Wacom Driver it sporatically shows the Switch alternating between 1 and All Open - when it should stay fixed on 1 when the mouse button is down. If I try to drag windows between monitors is just drops them, and it sometimes won't select a folder with a click and sometimes it double-clicks a folder when only one click was initiated? Both my computers are doing this consistently with both tablets WHETHER THE WACOM DRIVER IS INSTALLED OR NOT!!! Therefore, it appears to be a hardware or USB incompatibility with the Intuos Tablets and 10.4.9 when using the Wacom mouse. (Once again the Wacom pens all work fine 100% of the time).
JUST LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO CONFIRM THIS BEHAVIOR. For the past three weeks I just thought maybe I was getting sloppy with my mouse clicks or something, but now I am convinced that I have a universal issue, just need someone else to confirm I am not imagining this!
I have spent over 14 hours the past two days trying EVERYTHING to fix this on my G5 Tower- then I finally decided to try the tablets on my Powerbook G4 (where I had never previously attached a tablet) and immediately got the exact same behavior - so it appears to be a major incompatibility!
To test this on your end probably the easiest thing to do is start dragging out empty marquees repeatedly and slowly in the finder and see if they skip and start redrawing from the new cursor position occasionally. You can also watch the LEDs on your tablet and see if they ever change color while dragging and the mouse button is continually held down.
Thanks for any assistance!
