\"WACOM<\/h1>\n

I finally found a driver the works for my WACOM tablet that was probably given to me over 23 years ago!<\/h1>\n

There hasn’t been an official driver available for the legacy Wacom Intuos1<\/a> GD-0912-U tablet since… well since ever? I couldn’t even find a picture of one – let alone a driver. I remember I did try quite hard at the time to find a driver for my mac but I couldn’t ever get anything to work. Maybe it worked for a few months on os9 – but not for long that’s for sure. I was only ever one upgrade away from it being unsupported or so glitchy it wasn’t worth bothering with!<\/p>\n

Well today I ran out of batteries for my mouse and I soon got pretty fed up trying to use my laptop trackpad – then I looked down at my feet and tucked away under my desk was the old 1919 WACOM. I always believed that one day I’d just be able to plug it in and it would just somehow magically start to work!<\/p>\n

After a bit of a dig on the interweb I found a GitHub user named “thenickdude<\/a>” who has fixed the drivers for older Wacom tablets, including the Intuos series which the GD-0912-U belongs to. Apparently these fixed drivers are designed to work on macOS Catalina, Big Sur, and Monterey, including M1 Macs. I can confirm they work for me using Sonoma 14.6.1 on a M1 laptop – with a usb convertor.<\/p>\n

Unbelievable!\u00a0 My Wacom is now officially my oldest peripheral that I can still plugin which actually works!<\/p>\n

Get your Drivers here:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/github.com\/thenickdude\/wacom-driver-fix<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Visit the GitHub repository for the fixed drivers – and scroll paste all the code.<\/li>\n
  2. Find and download the “Fixed driver v6.3.15-3 for Intuos 3 and Cintiq tablets” installer.<\/li>\n
  3. Double-click the installer to run it.<\/li>\n
  4. If you get an error message about installing apps only from the App Store, right-click on the installer and select “Open” instead.<\/li>\n
  5. After installation, you may need to adjust your Mac’s security settings:\n
      \n
    • Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy tab.<\/li>\n
    • In both the “Accessibility” and “Input Monitoring” sections, remove any existing Wacom-related entries.<\/li>\n
    • Add the newly installed driver to these sections.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Restart your computer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      I hope someone else finds this post and finds it useful – thanks thenickdude for fixing the legacy drivers and thanks to whoever it was that gave me their old WACOM – it was so long ago – I literally can’t remember – if it was you… please make yourself known!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
