Which is exactly why I wrote you should ensure that X did not have it open 
while you did that ;)

However, this data will probably suffice as well. You will have to find a 
value (as small as possible) that will give you a steady pointer, but still 
doesn't make your pointer sluggish/jumpy/hard to use.

Wolfgang (who made a patch for this problem) found out that 9 was pretty good, 
I don't know how that would apply to your system though. You'll have to do 
some trial'n'error testing until you find a decent value.

You can find some answers here:
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/inputdev

The max value on this option is however 20 and not 6.

And for an additional reference, this is my InputDevice section for my stylus:
Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier "stylus"
  Driver "wacom"
  Option "Mode" "Absolute"
  Option "Type" "stylus"
  Option "USB" "on"
  Option "Suppress" "3"
  Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
  Option "KeepShape" "on"
  Option "DebugLevel" "5"
Endsection

The Suppress value is the distance one of the axis the tablet has to change 
before the driver will forward the motion movement to the Xserver. Thereby 
suppressing small movments that could be seen as jitter. The larger value you 
will have the more movement it will suppress, but if the value is set too 
high you will loose accuracy when you actually want it to move.
