That was indeed a config issue - I had it set up to /dev/input/event0 when actually it was /dev/input/event2 > If it jumps around, check out the Howto: > http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/newwacom It's not jumping around - it's that the edge of the screen as far as the tablet is concerned, is not /always/ the edge of the screen physically. One minute it will map perfectly onto my 1280x1024 screen - the next minute it will only do (something like) 1152x768. The rest being ignored. Incidentally yesterday I tried building the lastest version of the driver from the website - I don't know which version Ubuntu Dapper includes - but 0.7.4-3 built directly has exactly the same problem as whatever is built into Ubuntu. On the issue of the 10-wacom.rules file - Ubuntu has almost identically set up what's listed on the HOWTO (I checked that yesterday as well). If it helps, this is what's in my xorg.conf Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "stylus" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # Change to # /dev/input/event # for USB Option "Type" "stylus" # Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection (same for cursor and eraser - not that the Volito2 has an eraser!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
