Subject: [gentoo-user] Wacom Graphire 4 mouse not working

2 but it's not getting any responses so I thought I'd try here)

4 I'm unable to get my Wacom Graphire 4's mouse working. It's not a
5 hardware issue, as wacdump shows activity whenever I move the mouse (or
6 stylus) across the tablet. I've read through several howtos
7 (<http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Wacom-USB-mini-HOWTO.html>,
8 <http://www.runkel-it.de/wacom_tablet_howto.html> among others) but
9 haven't hit the proper configuration.

75 ... but with this configuration the tablet's stylus doesn't work (but my
76 PS/2 mouse does) - a couple of revisions ago I had the PS/2 mouse and
77 the stylus working, but I've never been able to get X to recognize the
78 cordless mouse. The mini-HOWTO at
79 <http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Wacom-USB-mini-HOWTO.html> mentions
80 configuring both mice, but my PS/2 mouse is an old 2-button model so I'd
81 be OK with just getting the tablet's cordless mouse functioning.
82
83 Any hints on what I should change to get the tablet working properly?
