Strange that it worked then, maybe Kubuntu provided some patched version for a while. I downloaded the Edgy deb package for xserver-xorg-input-wacom 0.7.2 and now it works again. The prebuilt wacom_drv.so from the original linuxwacom-0.7.2.tar.bz2 didn't work (generating events for the special buttons, everything else was okay).
I tried to access the raw data, but hexdumping it while running X locked up the X server. I tried to search in the archives but I always get (since days): Unable to connect to search server Thanks, Fritz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > We (linuxwacom project) has never supported these buttons.
