How to configure WACOM Graphire 4 expresskey

Hi,

I've followed the instructions on the arch wiki, gentoo wiki and also refered to the linuxwacom project, but still can not make it to work properly.

What I want is the scroll wheel on the pad to work, and my current situation is:
while I scroll the wheel, the application (for example, firefox) could scroll the page, but ONLY FOR A MOMENT,
and then the mouse pointer seems moved to the top-left corner and disappeared!
and I can not scroll the wheel anymore, except I clicked at the page again.

Here is my configuration, is there anybody who knows what I have missed?

Thx!

xorg.conf (partial)

Re: How to configure WACOM Graphire 4 expresskey

I don't have a Graphire or anything, but since no one posted anything yet, let's guess around:
Does it work in the "basic configuration" (without the mode, threshold, button* - options)?
Does this only happen in gtk apps, or anywhere?

Re: How to configure WACOM Graphire 4 expresskey

I'm using a graphire 3 and was getting some weird results with the mouse jumping all over using wacom 0.7.8, downgraded to 0.7.4 and the mouse works properly. Maybe it is a similar issue with the pad. I've put linuxwacom in pacman exclude list to prevent it upgrading.
