Hi people,
A quick word of warning...

I went ahead and got Vicenzo's dexconf, and ran it.

Voila, the grapphire 2 tablet worked as a charm. However, I was back to 800x600 resolution on a 22' widescreen LDC monitor :(
Basically, dexconf overwrote xorg.conf, resetting it to the most basic setup possible, with a working tablet.

Of course, i was rushing, and did not backup xorg.conf before. Grumble... A quick nvidia-xconfig (in my case) created a working xorg.conf to which the relevant sections from the dexconf generated files could copy-pasted into. Now everything works fine, including the tablet.

So first, Vicenzo thanks for the fix! Second, please warn people this will happen ( indeed, if this is the intended behaviour) and/or create a backup of the xorg.conf before overwriting it. If this is not supposed to happen, please consider it a bug report :)

Cheers
igor

p.s. I attached the xorg.conf created by the dexconf, maybe it is useful...
