hmmm, I don't see a time delay with the cursor... my set up is pretty
much like yours except I have
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
for "pad" and I'm using the debian packaged kernel 2.6.16-2-k7.
In my case, xorg was not loading
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wacom_drv.so
...it complained about a version mismatch or something. I got
linuxwacom-0.7.6-1.tar.bz2 from http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net ,
compiled it and replaced /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wacom_drv.so (I
know it's probably not the "right" way to do fix that) and then it works
except for the mouse problem you've described in your other email.
