As far as I know that module is not something you can do without as it provides user-land application with untranslated tablet data. The wacom_drv driver depends on it at least. However, it's not unusual to use another name instead of eventX (usually wacom) as it is possible to automate this with udev and is easier to make a generic configuration with, but that is only a symlink to the latest attached tablet (the eventX for it). > but my usb graphire3 upon unplug and > replug would revert to its default behavior of > semi-absolute-semi-relative (there's a small area on the tablet in > absolute mode, but this small area moves around on the tablet > depending on where i put my pen), and pressure sensitivity is lost as > well. why? When you unplug your tablet the device for it (eventX) will go away and X has to close the device. When you plug it back in again X will not get notified about this and will therefore get movement from the tablet through the mice-device. That's probably why it behaves differently after you plug it back in. The normal workaround is to switch VT as that will trigger a re-open of the device by X (presumed that you are using the latest version of wacom_drv). If you don't think that's good enough and are willing to risk a kernel oops or two you may try to use a kernel module I've been writing, see earlier posts by me on this list. Be aware that it's in an extremely experimental state as I wrote it about a week ago. However with the latest corrections it seems to behave well, and I would appreciate any type of feedback on it.
