Hello,

So, I've got a FC3 machine ( kernel version: 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3smp )  
and i've followed the official HOWTO a few times now and the results  
have actually gotten worse! I am trying to set it up to use a Wacom  
Intuos 2 USB tablet ( i know, they're old ).

The first time around, the tablet was more or less working - it  
recognized the pen, could move around the screen, click etc. The only  
thing that didn't work was pressure sensitivity, which is  
unfortunately the only thing that is absolutely required in this  
instance. In this case, the tablet was showing in /dev/input as  
event2 ( using: xxd /dev/input/event2 yielded a flurry of activity  
were i to move the pen around the tablet, for reference on my  
machine: event0 = keyboard, event1 = mouse ).

Thinking maybe i had missed a crucial step regarding pressure  
sensitivity, I decided to re-do the process from scratch. 2nd time  
around, no difference, tablet works like before, but no pressure  
sensitivity. 3rd time around, and now, event2 no longer exists it  
seems. The tablet doesn't work at all anymore, and if i try to do a:  
xxd /dev/input/event2 all i get is :Segmentation Fault. For the  
record, event's 0 & 1 are still the keyboard and mouse respectively.

I'm at a loss as to what to do now, because I keep hitting a brick  
wall here, following the HOWTO to the letter and not missing ( at  
least i don't see any steps i've missed ) anything in it, and yet the  
problem is getting worse, to the point where now the tablet doesn't  
even work. Any ideas? am i doing something inherently wrong? or have  
i missed a crucial step and keep on missing it? Any Help would be  
greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Kurt
