How link FM via ESS to GIS geometric tables (lat/lon) on MYSQL 5.1?

Does anyone know how I can link Filemaker 11 using ESS (External SQL Source) to MySQL 5.1 (GIS geometric tables)?

My goal is to link a FM table via ESS to the (long/Lat) fields in my GIS table that reside on the MYSQL 5.1 server.

I am able to link FM via ESS to some non-geometric tables (Only the ones that look normal when previewing in my MYSQL5.1 Workbench program.) Have Actual Technologies installed driver.

I no nothing about MYSQL 5.1.

My MYSQL data looks weird when I view in MYSQL Workbench, I guess because the DBMS decides how it wants to manage it's own data.

Any tips would be very helpful.

Cheers - Earlyrider
