However, the prefpane and daemon run in different "bootstrap domains" when the daemon is auto-started.
TabletMagic uses CFMessagePort for messaging between the daemon and preference pane. The daemon can freely run in user space without any of the other components present. Some kinds of drivers –USB for example– need to run in the kernel, but TabletMagic doesn't require a kernel extension. It is currently localized in English, French, and Italian. The "TabletMagic" preference pane is an Objective-C / Cocoa plugin that provides a user interface to start, stop, and configure TabletMagic. The preference pane asks for an admin password on first-run and tells LaunchHelper to suid itself. "LaunchHelper" is a simple C program that the TabletMagic preference pane uses to perform any actions that require escalated privileges. The intra-application messaging interface is part of the tablet class, but this will be placed in its own class pretty soon. There's a class to represent the tablet, one for the serial port interface, and a small class to encapsulate UD-style tablet parameters. The daemon is a relatively simple C++ project. "TabletMagicDaemon" is the actual device driver that communicates with the tablet and produces Mac system events. If you want the daemon to start automatically when you boot the computer, you need to check the Launch at Startup option in the Extras tab. The panel will install the other components when you start the daemon for the first time. Installationĭouble-click the control panel to install it. This Page contains more information and help for TabletPC users. TabletPCs with "ISD-V4" or "Fujitsu P-series" protocol are currently supported. TabletMagic also works as a driver for TabletPC digitizers based on Wacom serial hardware. A USB to serial adapter will also be required.
