I’ve been searching on internet but with no success… I have a old Fujitsu ST5020D Wacom Penabled tablet pc. As you know, a 1ghz Celeron + 256MB RAM wouldn’t fill my needs as working on Adobe Master Suite tools.
Is there a way to work on my ST5020 as a external Pen Tablet, working as a input/output device for my computer running Illustrator & Photoshop?
As summary, is there a way to turn my ST5020 into a Cintiq like tablet?
Answer
I have a project that does just this. (With a slightly different model tablet). See here .
The steps include:
- installing four pieces of custom software on the main Windows PC: a virtual network serial port, an alternate Wacom driver, a VNC server, and a batch file to simplify connection.
- replacing the operating system of the tablet PC with a custom .ISO by the author, based on Linux Slitaz. NB: THIS WILL DESTROY ANY DATA ON YOUR TABLET’S HARDDISK – so only do this if you’re happy for your tablet PC to be used only as a Cintiq like tablet
