Wacom driver in Relative mode possible?


Posts: 2

hi All,

I recently switched from Kubuntu to Mepis 6.5, but now my Wacom mode is (nicely working in) 'absolute', and I am used to a 'relative' mode... I preserved my old xorg.conf, but there appear to be no differences... Anyone a clue?

could you post both the Kubuntu xorg.conf and the MEPIS one?

Newbie or not Newbie, there's always a question

My Mepis xorg.conf is as

My Mepis xorg.conf is as above (and some more on display etc.)

My Kubuntu xorg.conf is:

I can see the "USB on", and the ForceDevice... Going to retry on those, but I am pretty sure it failed with the ForceDevice...
