[SOLVED] Trouble setting wacom relative sensitivity

[dongle]

I have a Wacom Graphire 3. I got everything working well, except that the relative speed is too high. I've tried setting it in the xorg.conf file and the xsetwacom utility but neither one has any effect on the speed. With absolute positioning,one tablet's worth of movement is one screen. With relative movement, less than half a tablet's worth of movement is a whole screen. FWIW I'm using a 20" 1680x1050 LCD. Any ideas why the tablet isn't responding to either way of setting the RSpeed/SpeedLevel?

Also, I used linuxwacom version .7.4_p2.

EDIT: updated to modular x and xsetwacom started working.
