Ok, I updated the wacom package from your repositories, and commented out the options I added (BottomY, BottomX, TopY, TopX).

It works like expected.

Will this version be included in the final version of Jaunty ?

I agree that calibration might be something everyone needs to do, but the way it's done and the available documentations makes that it's not obvious.
    * Why did I have to rewrite manually to xorg.conf ?
    * Why the script doesn't told me that something useful was written in the .xinitrc file ??
    * Why did I had to change the name of the options to make it correct (bottomy in the .xinitrc generated --> BottomY in xorg.conf) ?

When performing a calibration it should at least tell me what I have to do to make it work properly... I had to go to the man page of wacom and deduce the options to change. For me it's not a problem, I was used to configure xorg.conf. But for a newby or a "desktop user" it's really not obvious.

Nevertheless, the new version works properly.

Thank you a lot !
