Yes, you need to add pad to xorg.conf file. > I also seem usbmouse is conflicting (when loaded) with wacom kernel > module (on 2.6.17 kernel), preventing X wacom driver to correctly get > maximum grid size from the tablet through usb.

For kernel 2.6.17 and older, you need to update both hid-core.c and wacom.c. For kernel 2.6.18, no need to worry about hid-core.c any more. Starting from 2.6.18, we have let HID ignore all Wacom devices. > A sidenote regarding udev rule in howto : %e support has been dropped > from recent udev release, because it is unreliable.

Again, I am updating the web pages related to xsetwacom as well. For users who are running 0.7.8, "xsetwacom -h", "xsetwacom list param", "xsetwacom list mod" lists current usage, options, and modifiers. To see what option/parameter an input, such as ring, wheeel, button, is, please use xidump. For your particular case, Bamboo, the touch ring is AbsWUp/AbsWDn and the tablet buttons are button 1/2/3/4. Here is an example of their usage: xsetwacom set pad AbsWUp "core key pgup" # sending page up event when moving anti-clockwise xsetwacom set pad AbsWDn "core key pgdn" # sending page down event when mvoing clockwise xsetwacom set pad button1 "core key left" xsetwacom set pad button2 "core key right" xsetwacom set pad button3 "core key shift alt ctrl" Hope this helps, Ping ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
