problem with wacom tablet [SOLVED]

i'm using an intuos2 usb wacom tablet with the xf86-input-wacom driver from the AUR. the stylus works fine for moving the cursor around and simple clicking, but i have problems in any program with pressure sensitivity.

using mypaint (from the aur) there are extremely long delays after making a mark on the canvas. if i look at the framebuffer i see these two lines constantly being printed down the screen:

device change: Wacom Intuos2 6x8 <enum GDK_SOURCE_PEN of type GdkInputSource>
device change: Core Pointer <enum GDK_SOURCE_MOUSE of type GdkInputSource>

in gimp the pressure sensitivity does not work as expected either

Re: problem with wacom tablet [SOLVED]

the problem turned out to be that I had "GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1" in my mozilla-common.sh.

I had actually put the line there myself as a fix for a problem with flash in GTK browsers (see here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=82377). Evidently this broke the functionality of my wacom tablet.
