I saw that, but I was a little worried by the bug report at the end. I
am glad it works for you.

I hope you learned your lesson from this thread. TLUGgers are in
general a quite helpful bunch, but we need hard data. Once you posted
chunks of your X logs, both Steve and I were able to come to the same
conclusion (you are missing the Wacom driver module), and give you
some advice. I know nothing about Wacom tablets (I mean, I know what
they are, but I have zero experience with them), but once I understood
the problem, I was able to target a Google search that lead me right
to the thread that allowed you to solve the problem.

I am sure that, given the fact that printers and Palm Pilots are much
more common devices, you can get help with both of those problems, if
you know how to ask. I.e. provide all the details about the problem.

Cheers,
Josh
