Can't get my wacom work properly

Hell guys,

I just installed the wacom drivers from the aur and followed the wiki documentation to get it al working.

But badly, it doesn't If I move the stylus above my wacom tablet the mouse is moving, but when I click (hit the wacom) the mouse suddenly stops moving :S I just don't understand why... This way i'm unable to draw stuff with my wacom.

And another thing, I have 2 screens setup in dualscreen mode, how do I get my wacom only work on the first screen ?

fyi, I added this lines to the ServerLayout section:

    InputDevice    "pad"      "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "cursor"   "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "stylus"   "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "eraser"   "SendCoreEvents"

And added the following sections to xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "stylus"
        Driver      "wacom"
        Option      "Type"  "stylus"
        Option      "Device"  "/dev/input/event6"
        Option      "USB" "on"
        Option      "Mode"  "Absolute"
        Option      "Vendor"  "WACOM"
        Option      "Threshold"  "5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "eraser"
        Driver      "wacom"
        Option      "Type" "eraser"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/event6"
        Option      "USB" "on"
        Option      "Mode" "Absolute"
        Option      "Vendor" "WACOM"
        Option      "Threshold" "5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "cursor"
        Driver      "wacom"
        Option      "Type" "cursor"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/event6"
        Option      "USB" "on"
        Option      "Mode" "Absolute"
        Option      "Vendor" "WACOM"
EndSection

Who knows what i'm doing wrong ?

Re: Can't get my wacom work properly

Use the stable version of linuxwacom (0.8.0-blah) rather than the development version (0.8.1-blah).

Here's a PKGBUILD:

# Contributor: Ilya Galushko <helloy-ilya@yandex.ru>

pkgname=linuxwacom
pkgver=0.8.0.3
_pkgver=0.8.0-3
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="drivers for Wacom tablets"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/"
license=('GPL' 'LGPL')
depends=('libxi' 'ncurses' 'tk' 'pixman')
options=('!libtool' '!emptydirs')
install=linuxwacom.install
source=(http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/linuxwacom/$pkgname-$_pkgver.tar.bz2
        10-wacom.rules)

build() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$_pkgver"
  cp ChangeLog $startdir

  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install

  install -D -m 644 "$startdir/10-wacom.rules" "$pkgdir/etc/udev/rules.d/10-wacom.rules"
}
