I've tried to install my Wacom (Volito) tablet before, though I never got it to work with the 2.4 kernel. However, I recently switched to the 2.6 kernel and now the tablet works (I.E. I can move the cursor around the screen). My problem however, is that it acts as if it were a mouse (I.E. relative positioning instead of absolute).

I have the HID, evdev and wacom modules loaded at bootup, and I'm using X.org instead of XFree86. I'm also using the precompiled XFree86 4.3 binaries from the LinuxWacom project.

The tablet responds to "/dev/input/event2", "/dev/input/mice" and "/dev/input/mouse1".

Here's the wacom related stuff in my xorg.conf file:

Code:

Section "Module"
    Load        "wacom"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver        "wacom"
  Identifier    "cursor"
  Option        "Device"        "/dev/input/event2"
  Option        "Type"          "cursor"
  Option        "USB"           "on"
  Option        "Mode"          "Absolute"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver        "wacom"
  Identifier    "stylus"
  Option        "Device"        "/dev/input/event2"
  Option        "Type"          "stylus"
  Option        "USB"           "on"
  Option        "Mode"          "Absolute"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver        "wacom"
  Identifier    "eraser"
  Option        "Device"        "/dev/input/event2"
  Option        "Type"          "eraser"
  Option        "USB"           "on"
  Option        "Mode"          "Absolute"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier  "X.org Configured"
    Screen    0 "Screen 1"  0 0
    InputDevice "Mouse1"    "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice "cursor"    "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice "stylus"    "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice "eraser"    "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection


I'm not exactly sure what I'm missing, so any help would be appreciated.
