Package: xserver-xorg-input-wacom
Version: 0.8.1.6-1
Severity: normal

I am unable to use my graphire tablet as a non-root user (with presure 
sensativity). Normal use works, but gimp reports "permission denied".

Connecting the usb graphire results in this in /var/log/messages:

The device /dev/input/event8 gets created, with the following persmissions:
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 72 2009-06-16 09:40 /dev/input/event8

Also a symlink to this file is created:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2009-06-16 09:40 /dev/input/tablet-graphire -> event8

But since the device file (created by udev?) is only rw for the root group the 
tablet-graphire device is not accessible by non-root user.

If I manually change the group to "plugdev" then the tablet works as expected.

I tried reloading the udev rules, reinstalling (and dpkg-reconfigure) of 
xserver-xorg-input-wacom without success.
