I have been using Fedora for a while, but since SuSE was avaliable on ftp desided to test it so I installed 9.3. I got most things working but not my Wacom Graphire3 tablet. I've been googleing about it and found some mailinglist and forum posts which didn't help at all. (mostly 'xorg.conf' files) I've tried to use SaX2 but without results. Loading in and out the 'wacom' kernel module doesn't help a bit, and the LED on the tablet is off. (in fedora the tablet worked) I'm using both the pen and mouse, my other mouse doesn't work right, and when I tried to clean it I must have broken some thing. So I have a "wonky" mouse and have to do most of the things I usualy do with a mouse with the keyboard until I can get the tablet working. In a week I'll move away for a year (school) and I would like to know that everything works when I leave, so it will be alrigth when I return. In the 9.2 Live-CD I just need to 'modprobe wacom' and it works. (the LED is on when the system boots) I think the LED not working in 9.3 but working in 9.2 is important, but I donæt know much about how theese tablets work ands comunicates eith the system. So somone hwo knows more about this then me should be the judge of that. In SaX I can't spesify the device file since i don't know which reffers the the spesiffic usb port (have 2). I am using the default kernel and X version in 9.3 (PS, I'm a Norwegian so my spelling is a litle off:-) Thank You in advance.

I'm always amazed at how well foreigners can handle the crazy English/ American spelling. Only French, Irish and Welsh are worse. (Probably in that order.)

I'm not sure I know much more about the details of the wacom drivers, but I can tell you I have one which basically works. I haven't used it much, and at the moment can't get the wacomcpl program to recognize it, so I'm stuck with the default response (the mouse is pretty slow and the scroll wheel seems backwards) but both the mouse and pen work. With the wacom driver loaded, the normal mouse is a little flaky, but works to some extent. Sorry I can't give more much more details. I didn't do anything special to get to this point. The led comes on on boot up with or without wacom.ko loaded. The only possible difference is that I have the packaged version of 9.3 and there may be something missing in the ftp version.
