Tablet Functionality of Vista when used in VMware Fusion

When I run vista in bootcamp the mb runs great and has full tablet capabilities including screen rotation and handwritting recognition. However, if I run the partion as a virtual machine (currently running VMware Fusion 2, which I love), vista acts as if it is a non-tableted computer, except it still accepts basic imput from the stylus. Does anybody know how to get the tablet funtionality back in a vm.
Thanks
Devin

P.S. I ran the vm on fusion 1.2 and it was exactly the same.

Indeed, in virtualization the tablet function is not working (yet?). I'm using a Modbook and I would like to know if VMAWARE is thinking of adding this functionality in the next or later version. Hopefully someone of VMAWARE can answer this question?

RE: Tablet Functionality of Vista when used in VMware Fusion

I have been running Vista under Parallels for some time with almost all tablet functionality by installing the Penabled drivers from Wacom. I posted about this in several threads if you look. The only things missing, are pen flicks and one other thing I can't remember right now.

That fix works in Fusion as well. Thanks for your help.

You're welcome!

Glad to know it works there as well.
