wacom tablet freeze the modeler (?)

[pat-lek]

Hello...
First... i am french... excuse me for my english ... I been try to be more clear and comprehensive at it' s possible!! (erf)

I have always problems with my wacom tablet... (I don't love apple mouse...)
Sometimes , and i think especially when the pointer go out of the screen (on the right... example when i do a panoramic in the perspective view...)... the modeler freeze... the pointer become invisible...
and the beach ballon appear...
Or sometimes i can displace the pointer only on a small surface of the screen..

I can' t force the program to quit... i must do a reboot of the mac (bipro 2x 1,25gh
1 go of ram)....

That is very boring...

the input device is on tablet...

Is there someone to know a soluce?

(I try whith the search fonction of the forum to see if a thread speak about these troubleshooting... i don't find...)

ok, its not the tablet its X.2.6(unless you have a n'videa card, which you have ati)
the only fix for this as the time is going back to x.2.3 or x.2.4.
some had said the new ati driver fixed this but not sure.
some have also said its fixed in panther(X.3)
good luck

Although the 9000 driver may work, you should also try installing the 9800 driver. A different thread here mentioned that it fixed many problems with ATI cards and Lightwave, in Mac OS 10.2.6

Well.. some indeed said that installing new drivers would solve this problem.. I'm sorry but they don't... Because of the fact that a lot of people were enthousiast about the 9800 drivers.. I gave it a shot and updated to 10.2.6 .. and my first impression was: The bug is gone..

After half an hour.. boom.. crash.. freeze.. total reboot was neccesary..

Newtek is working on the problem as I reported it again..

[Ge4-ce]

Not meaning that they are working on it because "I" reported it.. :D .. they were allready working on it..

[pat-lek]

Erf... my problem is not totally resolved...
But i have seen the thead about the freeze modeler...
Waiting for 10,27 or panther, or a good driver for the graphic card...

Wait and see
