+\fBMode\fR Absolute|Relative
+Sets the device mode as either Relative (default for the cursor and tablet touch)

+\fBPressureCurve\fR x1 y1 x2 y2
+A Bezier curve of third order, composed of two anchor points (0,0 & 100,100)
+and two control points that define the curve's shape. The default curve is
+linear with the two user modifiable control points (x1 y1 x2 y2) having the
+same values as the anchor points, reflecting the tablet's designed pressure
+response (e.g. 0-1023). Raise the curve (x1<y1 x2<y2) to "soften" the feel
+and lower the curve (x1>y1 x2>y2) for a "firmer" feel. Sigmoid shaped curves
+are permitted (x1>y1 x2<y2 or x1<y1 x2>y2). A valid Bezier curve setting in
+xf86-input-wacom must have all four values between 0 and 100. Applies only

+\fBRotate\fR none|half|cw|ccw
+The wacom driver supports rotation by 90 degree angles. The valid settings are:

+ cw: the tablet is rotated 90 degrees clockwise
+ ccw: the tablet is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise

+Rotation is tool-specific, rotation of one does not affect other input tools.
+To rotate the complete tablet, rotate all applicable tools (e.g. stylus, eraser,
