Description of problem: When using the mouse of a graphire 3 tablette it behaves like an absolute device (like the stylus) instead of like a normal mouse (i.e., relative). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.19-1.2895 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install tablette 2.use mouse 3. Actual results: absolute positioning Expected results: relative positioning Additional info: The wacom kernel module is loaded. There are also some other not so nice effects with the stylus which does not have the range for the entire screen. So I don't know how much the driver is tested at all.
No problem, I guess. The kernel doesn't magically do the work, the X configuration mus be adjusted.
Actually, I have an ancient tablet which I got from jkt in QA and when I tried it the last time it definitely was relative. In fact, I checked it with evtest and the wacom driver posted EV_REL events for it. There's no absolute interface between X and mousedev at all. The only way for X to get absolute events is to tap into evdev (even if wacom provided them in the first place).
