Hi,
I've had problems with my Wacom Graphire4 tablet in Arch. Basically, if I press the tablet's side buttons while the stylus is close enough to the tablet, the cursor jumps a hundred-ish pixels back for a fraction of a second, and then any subsequent keyboard/mouse/tablet input is garbled. I have to switch to a tty and back to X to 'fix' it.
So, I tried pretty much everything I could:
Trying again each month, in the hope that something has been fixed. (Since May of this year.)
Reverting to an older version of the wacom driver.
Using the driver's git package from AUR.
Reinstalling dbus.
Reinstalling xorg. (maybe I didn't do it throroughly enough?)
Wiping all of /etc/X11.
Loading at boot ALL the modules that SUSE loads that weren't loaded in my Arch install.
None of which worked.
Well, just for kicks, I downloaded OpenSUSE's latest live CD, namely 12.1 RC 1 or something, and lo! The tablet works fine with it out of the box. It also seems to use the same version of the driver that I use right now (xf86-input-wacom 0.11.1).
So I'm obviously doing something wrong. But what? Does anyone have any idea what I could do to fix this?
Thanks.
Edit: interestingly enough, if I uninstall any kind of xf86-input-wacom, the tablet half-works, including pressure levels; but then I can't configure the side buttons with xsetwacom and they're useless. Also, without an xf86 driver, there is no distinction between the nib and the eraser.

If anyone cares, here's how I half-assedly solved it: http://translate.google.com/translate?u … =&ie=UTF-8
(the translation messes with code and file names so you may need to hover over that to see it right)
Definitely not a clean way to do it though
