Marcus,

What are the settings in your xorg.conf and is the wacom driver for
X11 present/loaded (see /var/log/Xorg.0.log).

The output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log seems to confirm my suspicion that theproblem is the mouse and the stylus driver fighting for control of thetablet, as well as the driver not actually being present. The file islong, but I've tried to pull out the relevant parts:
