Hi everyone,

My wacom table graphire worked OK in Gutsy Gibbons, I made a clean install of Hardy Heron, and now only the pen is working (but not the eraser and the pressure) i.e. the mouse is not working! I reinstalled wacom-tools and the xorg-wacom-.... packages several times and the xorg.conf wasn't touched!

Here is my xorg.conf

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.

# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.

# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*

When i tried to make the same steps of adding
[CODE]
   InputDevice “cursor” “SendCoreEvents”
    InputDevice “stylus” “SendCoreEvents”
    InputDevice “eraser” “SendCoreEvents”

to the xorg.conf file section [CODE]ServelLayout[/CODE] and the other stuff around:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "cursor"
    Driver "wacom"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
    Option "Type" "cursor"
    Option "Mode" "relative"
    Option "USB" "on"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "stylus"
    Driver "wacom"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
    Option "Type" "stylus"
    Option "Mode" "absolute"
    Option "USB" "on"
    Option "PressCurve" "50,0,100,50"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "eraser"
    Driver "wacom"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
    Option "Type" "eraser"
    Option "Mode" "absolute"
    Option "USB" "on"
EndSection

My Xorg collapsed! It only could work in a low, low resolution mode and the system freezes in the logout... So what can i do now? Do I should report this as a bug?
