Maybe it's the KeepShape option that's causing the problem. This worked
for me using a Graphire USB tablet. I also had the wacom module
loaded--the hid module doesn't recognize Wacom tablets:

Section "InputDevice"
   Driver "wacom"
   Identifier "cursor"
   Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0"
   Option "DeviceName" "cursor1"
   Option "Type" "cursor"
   Option "Mode" "relative"
   Option "USB" "on"
   Option "AlwaysCore" "on"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
   Driver "wacom"
   Identifier "stylus"
   Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0"
   Option "DeviceName" "stylus1"
   Option "Type" "stylus"
   Option "Mode" "absolute"
   Option "USB" "on"
   Option "AlwaysCore" "on"
   Option "Threshold" "10"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
   Driver "wacom"
   Identifier "eraser"
   Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0"
   Option "DeviceName" "eraser1"
   Option "Type" "eraser"
   Option "Mode" "absolute"
   Option "USB" "on"
   Option "AlwaysCore" "on"
   Option "Threshold" "10"
EndSection

# snip irrelevant XF86Config stuff

Section "ServerLayout"
  Identifier "Layout[all]"
  InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard"
  InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer"
     InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
     InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
     InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
  Screen "Screen[0]"
EndSection

...HTH,
