9 I'm using the stable xorg-server-1.15.2-r1 and my wacom tablet is working
10 well with it.
11 Maybe you should downgrade to this version to see what happens.

17 Then it probably has nothing to do with your kernel configuration.

37 That's really strange. It should look like this:
38
39 ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
40 ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
41 ⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Keyboard id=9 [slave pointer (2)]
42 ⎜ ↳ Logitech Unifying Device. Wireless PID:101b id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
43 ⎜ ↳ Wacom Intuos4 6x9 stylus id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
44 ⎜ ↳ Wacom Intuos4 6x9 eraser id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
45 ⎜ ↳ Wacom Intuos4 6x9 cursor id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
46 ⎜ ↳ Wacom Intuos4 6x9 Pad pad id=15 [slave pointer (2)]
47 ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
48 ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
49 ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
50 ↳ Power Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
51 ↳ Logitech USB Keyboard id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
52 ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]

54 But I guess, this has nothing to do with your non working tablet.
55 Maybe it has something to do with your locales. Here's my /etc/locale.gen:
56
57 en_US ISO-8859-1
58 en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
59 de_DE ISO-8859-1
60 de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15
61 de_DE.utf8 UTF-8
62
63 And my /etc.rc.conf contains the line:
64
65 unicode="YES"
