Wacom Tablets under FreeBSD

These instructions are correct for FreeBSD 13.

Install:

  • multimedia/webcamd (v3.9.0.5 or newer)
  • x11/libwacom
  • x11-drivers/xf86-input-wacom
  • x11-servers/xorg-server (need HAL support)

In /boot/loader.conf, make sure you have:

cuse_load="YES"

In /etc/rc.conf, make sure you have:

webcamd_enable="YES"

Restart devd, and add your user to the webcamd group:

# service devd restart
# pw groupmod webcamd -m <username>

At this point you may need to disconnect and reconnect your tablet.
