Hi Roy,
I am not an expert on Tablets so the only thing I can do is to show
you my XF86Config file. I have a Wacom UltraPad A4.

Here is the relevant parts of my XF86Config.

 I've read the HOWTOs and checked a number of newsgroups, but no luck.
 Any suggestions would be helpful at this point.

There is a Wacom Tablet mail list.

Wacom tablet gives wierd message

[Roy Troxel]

I can't get my Wacom Graphite tablet to 
display a pointer on my Red Hat 6.1 linux machine.

Below is how I have the driver configured 
in XF86Config. The MS Mouse's pointer appears OK , but not the Wacom's. 
I'vealso tried it with "/dev/ttyS0" as the port.# Load the dynamic 
driverSection "Module"Load "xf86Wacom.so"EndSection#Configure the XInput 
devicesSection "XInput"SubSection "WacomStylus"Port

"WacomEraser"Port "/dev/ttyS1"DeviceName "Eraser1"AlwaysCoreMode 
AbsoluteEndSubsectionSubSection "WacomCursor"Port 
"/dev/ttyS1"Mode

When I start the Gnome GUI, I get the 
error message:

"(--) Wacom tablet model: 
ET-0405-R00,v1.0-9
Wacom unable to read second byte of 
request '~R' answer after 3 tries"

I've read the HOWTOs and checked a number of newsgroups, 
but no luck.

Any suggestions would be helpful at this 
point.

Thanks, in advance,
