hallo carol.. I just got graphire3 and I've been trying to make it work
on my debianbox, but it doesn't seem to work out. My system seems to
recognise the device, but the only thing i can do with the wacom mouse
or the stylus is to move the cursor up/down on the leftmost part of the
screen.
I noticed that you also run debian testing. Is there a chance that you
could send me your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file to have a look? (I'm not
sure actually if the problem lies in the configuration of that file, but
it is the only thing that I can thing of).

thanx a lot in advance..
