Re: Wacom Mouse Saga Continued

hi,

it seems that my wacom graphire4 works fine with both mouse and stylus 
on etch/xorg7/i386.

i have touchpad, not classical mouse since this is a laptop.

as i wrote above, i can control the cursor with both wacom mouse and 
wacom stylus (actually, the mouse comes from the graphire3 tablet, i got 
graphire4 without mouse). i have only one slight 'issue' - the scroll 
wheel behavior is reversed - but i changed the buttons mapping myself.

actually, for me, the buttons and scroll wheel on the pad do not work in 
xorg (they are however reported correctly by the wacdump). do you use 
some special additional settings to make the pad controls work in 
x/browser/whatever? your xorg is very similar to my setup.
