Hello lindev,

Just a question not a statement. I've been experience problems with my
wacom usb tablet since I moved from 2.4 to 2.6 test8. Now Running Test9,
and modules load just fine and events are received when i use the tablet,
however it doesn't translate to movement under X.

### lsmod snipit; (only listed what i feel relates)
usbcore
evdev
hid
uhci_hcd
wacom

### XFConfig snipit; (again only what i feel relates)

When i init X the extra inputs are registered and programs under X
recognize then (such as gimp) but if i select the input to use and try to
use my tablet it doesn't work. Only difference I can see is between 2.4
and 2.6 I was able to build mousedev module. However I do not see option
for building this as module under 2.6, plus I believe its included else,
if i understand correctly, event char device would not dump mouse events
ala xxd /dev/mouse-event0 for example.

Any help would be appreciated. I apologize if I've posted to the wrong
group.
