I think I have it working now with GIMP. It seems that when I installed wacom-tools there magically appeared in /dev/input a wacom-> event5. When I made the consequent changes in xorg.conf it worked beautifully, at least in GIMP.
I lost my USB mouse, but the wacom mouse works at least as well. I'm very pleased :-) And GIMP is much better than COREL draw or photoshop on win32. Thanks. QUESTIONS: 1. before there was no event5???? 2. How was I supposed to determine which event wacom was bound to?
