This is right. > The compilation went fine but I did not replace the kernel module with the > new version found in src/2.6.19, since I wanted to test it that way (I > figured from one of your posts that the only thing missing from my kernel > would be the Bamboo support).

Not from linuxwacom since it is v1.46 not v1.46-pc0.1. But, this is fine as long as you don't use Bamboo. > I did try to pay more attention to the documentation, but I found no > suggestions for what to do when the input system controls the tablet. > Rebuilding HID-core and the rest using the old code found in > linuxwacom-7.8 did not sound safe to me, so I wanted your advice on this > before.

This is an initialization issue.

Stylus and eraser are default to absolute mode. > In the documentation on your website, it says that if I am using kernel > 2.6.18 or newer, the build of HID-core and other modules are not > necessary. In my kernel, they are built static, not as modules. By "not necessary", we mean not necessary to build and install them from linuxwacom. That is, you don't need to do anything about it. Maybe I should update the pages to make it clear. I think you are on the right track. Your package should be fine.
