Hi everyone

I finally got my graphire 4 5x4 tablet working by trial and error.

Yast set the device to /dev/input/event0

I tried:

wacdump /dev/input/event*

until I got sensible output from:

wacdump /dev/input/event6

I then changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf as folows:

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "Mouse[3]"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6"
Option "InputFashion" "Tablet"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 (USB)"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "on"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Vendor" "WACOM"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "Mouse[5]"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6"
Option "InputFashion" "Pen"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 Stylus (USB)"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "on"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Vendor" "WACOM"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "Mouse[7]"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6"
Option "InputFashion" "Eraser"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 Eraser (USB)"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "on"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Vendor" "WACOM"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "Mouse[9]"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6"
Option "InputFashion" "Pad"
Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 Pad (USB)"
Option "Type" "pad"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Vendor" "WACOM"
EndSection


Restarted X and all was well.

My question is: will it always be /dev/input/event6 ?

HTH others with wacom although I think that Yast ought to be able to configure
it properly to begin with.

I had my wacom working under 10.2, and never noticed it changed form
event3 to anything else (I used the linuxwacom driver, does this mean
11.0 can do a wacom properly without an external driver?). However I
never pulled my mouse or my wacom. If you wanna be sure, just pull the
wacom, insert a mouse, re-insert the wacom and try if it works (you
shouldn't do it if your're afraid of rebooting, it may crash although
very probably not)

Since the people @ linuxwacom use this way I think it probaly will not
change, and if it does it may not be solvable.
