I spent some time today trying to figure out how to configure this touch screen. I tried the drivers linked by fido-dido999, but they did not work for me. If you follow these instructions you should be able to get your touch screen working. It assumes that you place the ribbon cable to the bottom left.

I just acquired a Wacom 12WX tablet as a secondary display for my Macbook. The goal was to turn my laptop into a tablet. Apple does not sell tablets (yet), and the only alternative is rather pricey.

The reviews have been very favorable, and after a couple of hours I can attest that the technology is great. Perhaps what I like the most is to have the feeling of reading a magazine/paper.

Which is what I did tonight.

If you decide to buy one, here are some recommendations/issues:
