My Graphire 2 works in Redhat 7.3 without needing any kernel changes.
I added the following to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
Section "ServerLayout"
[ ... ]
# Wacom devices:
InputDevice "stylus" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "eraser" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "cursor" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection
[ ... ]
#
# Wacom graphire tablet ...
# see http://www.blankslate.net/comp/wacom.php
#
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "stylus"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0"
Option "Mode" "absolute"
Option "DebugLevel" "10"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "eraser"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0"
Option "Mode" "absolute"
Option "DebugLevel" "10"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "cursor"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Speed" "3.0"
Option "DebugLevel" "10"
EndSection
The url I list in the comment above was very helpful when I was
figuring out what options to enable in a self-built kernel, but
you shouldn't need it if you're using the Redhat kernel.
You probably don't need those DebugLevel lines.
The evdev module doesn't load by default, so add this to /etc/modules.conf:
post-install wacom insmod evdev
Start X with the tablet plugged in (if you ever unplug the tablet after
that, you have to leave X and unload everything before it'll work again,
or maybe actually reboot; I forget) and the tablet should function as
a second mouse, and gimp should see the three new input devices.
You have to use Screen mode in gimp, not Window mode; Window mode
crashes gimp (the wacom driver is sending coordinates that are way
out of range and gimp doesn't protect against that). But screen mode
is better anyway (so you can use the stylus and eraser to pick new
tools from gimp's toolbox).
