I have the same problem. Looks like patch exists for next Fedora.

Hi, I've updated the graphire bluetooth driver for jaunty.

It still needs testing but it's a proper driver now.

Can you try following the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7156808&postcount=77 and see if it works for you?

Hi tommy.
It's work! Much better than anything before.
Thanks.

Thank you for reporting this issue with wacom-tools, we are migrating it to the new xf86-input-wacom package which has replaced it in the development version of Ubuntu.

This would be a good point for you to re-test this issue against the new package to see if is still occurring. If not, you can mark it as Fix Released in Launchpad. If it is still an issue in the current development release and you're the original reporter, please reply and attach a fresh Xorg.0.log.

I've checked in live-session of 10.04 beta2. It still wont work as tablet, out of the box.
