I would love to, but we've got about 80 workstations running FC and it'd be
very easy to upgrade with kickstart, but the technical director for their
department aren't very happy about upgrades in general unfortunately. And
since there's only about three of them having this problem at the moment he
won't agree on an upgrade yet. Probably moving over to FC5 eventually
though, but it'll take some time.

Why not just upgrade to Fedora core ? It includes the newest linuxwacom
driver 0.7.2 already and refering to some user experience it works great.

Thanks,
I've actually tried that already, but it didn't make a difference and in
the Xorg.log file I got the following messages:
(EE) pad: No type or invalid type specified.
Must be one of stylus, cursor or eraser
(EE) PreInit returned NULL for "pad"
I'm going to try to build the latest linuxwacom-package now and see if
that helps. Need to recompile the kernel though, which is a bit of a
hassle.

I'm missing the "pad" device in your config. Probably that's the problem.
If I remember correctly without installing expresskeys for configuring
the keys and strips they shoudl be disabled.
Here are the relevant lines from my xorg.conf:
Section "ServerLayout"
InputDevice "pad"
EndSection
#Note that there is NO "SendCoreEvent" here!
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "pad"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "pad"
Option "USB" "on"
EndSection
#Of course you need to edit the "Device" line though I'm using an udev
link to the right /event.
I'm using Ubuntu 5.10, linuxwacom 0.7.2 and an Intuos3 6x8/A5

I should probably add that we don't really need to use the ExpressKeys
and the Touch Strips, best would probably be to disable them somehow.

We've got quite a few Wacoms in the house and we've noticed a problem
with a few of them (or probably rather the configuration on the
machine).
It's on some of the Intuos3-tables that we're having problems. When you
press the ExpressKeys or touch the Touch Strip (there's one of each on
each top corner of the tablet), the cursor just pops up to the top left
corner and the wacom will stop working until you've restarted X.
It doesn't seem to happen on all machines, but I've tried to configure
them in the same way.
The machines are running Fedora Core 3 and the kernel-version is
2.6.12-1.1381_FC3smp.
The installed rpm-package of linuxwacom is linuxwacom-0.6.4-6. Apart
from that I haven't installed or compiled any linuxwacom packages.
I've got this in the Serverlayout section
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "pen1" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser1" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "cursor1" "SendCoreEvents"
And I've got Load "wacom" in the module-section.
This is also in the xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "pen1"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" # USB
with USB mouse
Option "USB" "on" # USB
only
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "eraser1"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" # USB with
USB mouse
Option "USB" "on" # USB
only
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "cursor1"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" # USB with
USB mouse
Option "USB" "on" # USB
only
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
EndSection
Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be causing this?
Best Regards
Mattias
