Versions prior to 0.7.6-3 have an idiotic feature where they encode vendor id and serial number information in the high bits of some axes, rendering tablets nonfuncitonal with most applications that don't know about this "feature". See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344354 and http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1592814&group_id=69596&atid=525124
Upgrading will also fix rotation for tabletPCs, which is critical. Will attach spec file and updated build patches.
Actually, just grab the srpm: http://tieguy.org/files/linuxwacom-0.7.6_4-1.src.rpm Has updated spec and patches.
Version 0.7.8 has recently been released. Please can this be updated soonish... :)
Will an update cascade to F7/FC6 machines as well? I had to manually install v0.7.6 in one FC6 box and I'm currently running (manually installed) v0.7.8 on my main F7 system.
It's updated to 0.7.6 and now I'm working on 0.7.8. Please test and open new tickets in case of problems.
Will 0.7.8 include wacomcpl? Please see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220706 for work done on this.
Really, this should be a dup of bug 220706, given the amount of activity there. (Though why that was not marked a dup of this ages ago, before the activity and the duplication of effort is unclear.)

linuxwacom-0.7.6.4-2.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

The X driver 'wacom' doesn't load with linuxwacom-0.7.6.4-2.fc7 (i386). I added the following to my xorg.conf: Section "ServerLayout" ... InputDevice "Stylus" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "Stylus" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "type" "stylus" Option "USB" "on" EndSection I noticed after restarting X that the stylus wasn't in absolute mode. Xorg.0.log shows the following: (II) LoadModule: "wacom" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//wacom_drv.so dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//wacom_drv.so: undefined symbol: __stack_chk_fail_local (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//wacom_drv.so (II) UnloadModule: "wacom" (EE) Failed to load module "wacom" (loader failed, 7)

You do not need to edit your xorg.conf file. The wacom driver is included in the kernel. The linuxwacom package provides additional functionality. You should remove the above section and if your tablet still fails then file a new bug rather than adding to an existing one.

Afaik I _do_ need to edit my xorg.conf file, because I want to use this extra functionality. Else it just functions as a normal mouse. > You should remove the above section and if your tablet still fails then file a > new bug rather than adding to an existing one. I don't have any problems whatsoever with the wacom kernel-module, but with the X wacom driver. (or whatever it is called) Yes my wacom functions without adding anything to xorg.conf, but only as a mouse. It even functions without the whole linux-wacom package, but still only as a mouse. Or is it now somehow possible to use my tablet in absolute mode without modifying anything to my xorg.conf? That would be new to me.
On second hand, the "__stack_chk_fail_local"-problem I added here, doesn't totally fit under the problem of this bug titled as "Update to 0.7.6-4". I've created an new bug for this problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=253455 Sorry for the confusion.
