Hello,
when I connect my Wacom Intuos3 tablet via usb, I see (in the console)
uhidev0 at uhub0 port 3 configuration 1 interface 0 "Tablet PTZ-930"
rev 1.10/1.02 addr 2

usbdevs -vd /dev/usb0 says
Controller /dev/usb0:
...
addr 02: 056a:00b2 Tablet, PTZ-930
full speed, power 300 mA, config 1, rev 1.02
driver: uhidev0
The tablet then works basically as a mouse.
I wanted to switch the tablet to the 'absolute' mode (and perhaps
later change some of its other properties).
To this end I created a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the content
(I do not know if it is necessary to do it like this, nor I know
if what I do makes much sense)
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "PTZ-930"
MatchUSBID "056a:*"
Driver "usbtablet"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Device" "/dev/uhid6"
EndSection
(The /dev/uhid6 I copied from somebody else. I do not know
why uhid6.)
I restarted X (do I have to?).
No change in behaviour at all.
I checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log if I can spot anything relevant.
It mentions /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

and then there is this part

but as far as I can tell, nothing about usbtablet.
(And no error anywhere, either.)
Can anybody explain to me what is wrong? I do not understand how the
chain of drivers usb - uhid - wscons - usbtablet is supposed to work, and what
decides which individual driver is eventually chosen for a device...
Thanks for any comments.
