wacom tablet broken on FC2 update kernels

[Lars]

hi

i'm using a wacom graphire usb and it works fine here (including pressure
sensitivity) with the latest rawhide and vanilla kernel.org kernels.
have you updated your x server (xorg-x11) lately?

i have to copy the precompiled "wacom_drv.o" from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/linuxwacom/linuxwacom-0.6.3.tar.bz2
package to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input
to make it work after each x11 update.

i attach my working xorg.conf for reference.
note, that i had to disable the rhgb bootsplash from the grub.conf,
because it won't work when you set your mouse to "mouse1" and not
to the default "mice" in the xorg.conf.
this is needed so that the wacom mouse and the usb mouse have
own channels to operate separately.
hope this helps.

good luck!
lars
