Hello, Thanks a lot for your response. I really appreciate it. About two or three weeks ago, I decided to post about this at the Gentoo forums (you can find it at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-518315-highlight-.html). Anyway, to summarize, I eventually tried an Ubuntu LiveCD and found that the tablet worked fine out of the box. The next thing I tried was a genkernel which also worked. After trying, with no success, to get my kernel .config to work with the tablet, I eventually broke down and just started with the default genkernel .config and began disabling things that I didn't need. Unfortunately, I've never actually found the one .config option that seems to break my tablet support. I'm still using a vanilla 2.6.17.13 kernel and it's working fine for me now.
As for X, I really haven't had any problems except for the unusual fact that X seems unable to detect the tablet's dimensions and the maximum pen pressure (which means you can't move the cursor and it always sends the Button 1 down event). To fix this, I just added BottomX and BottomY and Threshold options to my xorg.conf. As an aside, I haven't had any problems getting DRI to work with only a single Device section. In fact, I've got beryl running and it's surprisingly smooth for a laptop. Everything else on the laptop is working for me except the fingerprint reader (which you can read about at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-509912.html), the SD reader (because Toshiba won't release hardware specifications for it so we'll probably never be able to use it), and presumably the modem (but I've never tried to use it or get it working). Other than that, everything is working including all the things you mentioned. In case you're curious, you can find my .config (the one that didn't work and the one that works for me now) in my post on the forums. You can find my xorg.conf at http://tmp.ua964.com/xorg.conf. A wiki page doesn't sound like a bad idea. Maybe I'll start that next week sometime.
