[gentoo-user] Wacom Graphire 4 mouse not working

[Michael J. Barillier]

(dup of <http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-464174.html>,
but it's not getting any responses so I thought I'd try here)

I'm unable to get my Wacom Graphire 4's mouse working.  It's not a
hardware issue, as wacdump shows activity whenever I move the mouse (or
stylus) across the tablet.  I've read through several howtos
(<http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Wacom-USB-mini-HOWTO.html>,
<http://www.runkel-it.de/wacom_tablet_howto.html> among others) but
haven't hit the proper configuration.

/proc/bus/input/devices shows:

  ,----
  | N: Name="ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse"
  | H: Handlers=mouse0 event2 
  | 
  | N: Name="Wacom Graphire4 4x5"
  | H: Handlers=mouse1 event3 
  `----

I've currently got xorg.conf as:

... but with this configuration the tablet's stylus doesn't work (but my
PS/2 mouse does) - a couple of revisions ago I had the PS/2 mouse and
the stylus working, but I've never been able to get X to recognize the
cordless mouse.  The mini-HOWTO at
<http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Wacom-USB-mini-HOWTO.html> mentions
configuring both mice, but my PS/2 mouse is an old 2-button model so I'd
be OK with just getting the tablet's cordless mouse functioning.

Any hints on what I should change to get the tablet working properly?
