Maybe.. In some cases the device path (/dev/input/event2) can change from one connect to another and this can quite easily be fixed (the connect/disconnect thingy I have no clue about though). You may already have a symbolic link '/dev/input/wacom' that points to the latest connected tablet, in that case just replace the 'event2' with 'wacom' in the config. If you don't have that symbolic link, follow the instruction found here and reboot to get it: http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/newwacom Hope this helps Magnus > I'm just a dumb artist so don't ask me to recompile anything,( besides I > use yum so that would break that too.) > > --b > > bill jehle wrote: > > kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 > > linuxwacom-0.7.4_1-2.1 > > > > (This is, below my previous post, to solve it I dropped back to the > > previous kernel.) > > *** > > This may be a problem with the kernel; my tablet won't start.
