Just to add my $0.02 Intuos3 9x12 / gentoo amd64 / kernel 2.6.19-gentoo-r3 / linuxwacom 0.7.7-2
I have had the issue you report with the cursor jumping the width (height) of the screen. The way I can make it happen (fairly consistently) is to move the mouse outside the tablet border (far enough to trigger a proximity-out event), then quickly bring it back into the active area slowly. If I hold the pen in the right spot, I can move the cursor up and down the left border of the screen when the pen is at the right edge of the tablet. If I then move the pen further toward the active area of the tablet, the cursor makes a sudden jump to the right side of the screen. I have not noticed this behaviour with the pen leaving the tablet area, only when entering it. Corners seem to work fine. --Thomas On Mon, 29 Jan 2007, simastrick wrote: > Hello, > > I just tried the 0.7.7-2 driver. It almost works, but there are two > problems on my system: > > 1.
