Thanks Magnuson, That link to *newwacom must be out of date because that stuff is already in my /etc/udev (on this machine it's called "60-wacom.rules" )file so I added /dev/input/wacom to my xorg file and still I get the crawling error message.
The problem I have with trial and error configuration is the pretty soon my stomach hurts and nothing works anymore. Does anyone out there have a working intuos* on fc6? --b Magnus Vigerlöf wrote: > On Sunday 29 October 2006 02:13, bill jehle wrote: > >> Did the kernel developers change the way this tablet is recognized in >> this kernel?
