Hello,
I have a similar problem than Oliver depicts yesterday.
I am using a quite current Debian Sid with an Intuos 3 (Model: PTZ-430).
Because the driver version 0.7.4 which is the newest version in Debian had
the
problem with the jittery cursor I downloaded the current version 0.7.6-3and
replaced my wacom_drv.so with the new prebuild one.
While the stylus works perfectly and the jitter with the cursor has gone,
I
now have another problem with the cursor:
Especially when moving the mouse near to the border or when lifting one
side
of the mouse a little bit the cursor is freezing. Then moving or clicking
the
mouse has no effect until I fully lift the mouse from the tablet and put
it
back on it. It seems to be easier to reproduce the lower the value of
the "Speed" option is set or if it is not defined at all.
This problem is probably due to the force out-of-prox function for Intuos
and Graphire series. The idea behind this function is to sent Wacom cursor
an out-of-prox event when it reaches a certain distance from the tablet
surface. This only applies to cursor in relative mode. Refer to
wcmCommon.c if you want to see implementation details. Please try "xsetwacom
set $dev CursorProx 256 $n, where dev is you device identifier and n is an
non-negative integer. Try n from 0, and somewhere bigger and smaller than 8
to see which one works better for you. 8 is the current value for n. Refer
to http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/xsetwacom for details
on how to use xsetwacom. I will take a look into the code to figure out a
better way to support this function soon.
I then compiled the current kernel module to be sure to have a matching pair
of drivers but no change. This is very annoying. It seems the driver loses
the contact to the device or gets unsynchronized with it until the mouse
is
lifted out of reach. This happens quite often.
To Oliver's first question:
I think the "Suppress" option is only relevant for pressure sensitive
tools
like the stylus to control the pressure threshold which counts as click.
Suppress applies to all devices. It reduces number of points/events sent to
XInput. Thus, maybe able to reduce jitter to some extent. But, it reduces
the accuracy of your data. Threshold only applies tp prssure. Please refer
to http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/inputdev for detail.
To Oliver's second question:
If I remember correctly when the wheel acts opposite than expected it has
something to do with a non matching old kernel module. Try to update your
kernel module wacom.ko to the same version than the X driver wacom_drv.so.
Yes, you are right.
I have some questions too:
What exactly are the options "Twinview" and "TVResolution" for? I hoped I
could use the full tablet area for every of my both screens on my twinview
setup through hitting the left or right border of the tablet area. Or
should
I try something with "modetoggle"? Could it help to change the screen? Is
it
possible to use a button of the pad to toggle the mode for the stylus?
It would be even better if it would be possible to switch between the two
screens with a button of the pad.
Please email your xorg.conf directly to me. I can modify your conf file
for you or, at least, I can make suggestions for you. modetoogle changes
your tool movement mode, i.e., from relative to absolute or vice versa. Not
screen display or mapping. We don't support switch screen on-the-fly yet.
You file a feature request at Tracker.
By the way, there is an error in your webpage in the HOWTO section 3.9:
"Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object
in /home/groups/l/li/linuxwacom/phpinc/howto/buildhid6.inc.php on line 5".
I noticed it when selecting ALL:

Thank you. It is fixed now.
