please help with wacom graphire

I am using Xorg7 and kernel 2.6.15.

i have a graphire3, it sort of works, but not properly*.
*(the active area is smaller than useable area on tablet, about only two-thirds width and height, and the active area moves around, depending on where i put the pen down. also no pressure sense)

i tried following this. but it is not working for me. i am not sure what to do...

the instructions in the linuxwacom site i cannot understand, only a bit, and its very confusing for me.

i have already copied the wacom_drv.so to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/,
and i have already added this to xorg.conf:

 Section "InputDevice" 
        Driver      "wacom" 
        Identifier  "cursor" 
        Option      "Device"          "/dev/input/event3" 
        Option      "Type"            "cursor" 
        Option      "USB"             "on" 
        Option      "Vendor"          "WACOM" 
EndSection 

Section "InputDevice" 
        Driver      "wacom" 
        Identifier  "stylus" 
        Option      "Device"          "/dev/input/event3" 
        Option      "Type"            "stylus" 
        Option      "USB"             "on" 
        Option      "Vendor"          "WACOM" 
EndSection 

Section "InputDevice" 
        Driver      "wacom" 
        Identifier  "eraser" 
        Option      "Device"          "/dev/input/event3" 
        Option      "Type"            "eraser" 
        Option      "USB"             "on" 
        Option      "Vendor"          "WACOM" 
EndSection 

this is what i get from the "more /proc/bus/input/devices"
command:

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=056a Product=0013 Version=0314
N: Name="Wacom Graphire3"
P: Phys=
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input3
H: Handlers=mouse1 event3
B: EV=f
B: KEY=1c43 0 70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=100
B: ABS=3000003

please, if you have your wacom working, i hope you can give me some straightforward instructions that do not assume that i have much knowledge about how linux works...

please help...
