I recently updated to Fedora 7 and noticed some rather strange behavior
of the Wacom driver (compared to Core 6 for instance). First, Fedora 7
doesn't ship the latest and greatest driver (I know the first
recommendation will be to update the driver, which I will, just wanted
to get this out of my chest); the driver shipped is something along the
lines of 0.7.4... The issue I'm experimenting is that when I attempt to
do anything with the PAD device (I have a Graphire 4 tablet), which
would involve moving the wheel or pressing the buttons, the cursor
pointer moves to "the origin" (upper left corner of the screen) while in
the session. The issue is even stranger in GDM where it moves to the
lower right corner even if I attempt to move the cursor with the wacom
mouse (cursor device) and any tip of the "pen" (stilus and eraser
devices, respectively). I'm not so sure what might be the cause of the
GDM behavior or the session behavior for that matter. Next I copy the
relevant sections of my Xorg.conf file and my udev rules (which I had to
change the name of the file bundled with Fedora, as udev was skipping
the device node [link in this case] creation).
Udev rules.

I also include the Mouse0 device (which I had to add, as Fedora doesn't
include another way to configure 5 button mice) in hopes that maybe I
did something wrong with it, as Fedora no longer depends on Xmodmap to
set the number and mapping of mice buttons. I believe this is the same
for other distributions as well, like Ubuntu.
