[Bug 309531] Re: Please backport wacom-tools 0.8.6 from Jaunty to Intrepid (replaces Intrepid's 0.8.4)

[Magnes]

I tested my tablet on Jaunty Alpha LiveCD. It doesn't look good.
1. Tablet is not autodetected. I can't even move the cursor using the tablet.
2. After configuring it as in Ubuntu 7.10 (where it worked):
a) adding /dev/tablet-event on "USB Graphics Tablet" input device using this guide: 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpenDapper
b) and adding lines to xorg.conf for my tablet:

# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
Section "InputDevice"
	Driver		"wacom"
	Identifier	"stylus"
	Option		"Device"	"/dev/tablet-event"
	Option		"Type"	"stylus"
	Option		"ForceDevice"	"ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY
	Option		"USB"	"on"
	Option		"Mode"	"Absolute"
	Option		"Threshold"	"1"
	#Option "Model" 	"Flair" 
EndSection

# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
Section "InputDevice"
	Driver		"wacom"
	Identifier	"cursor"
	Option		"Device"	"/dev/tablet-event"
	Option		"Type"	"cursor"
	Option		"ForceDevice"	"ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY
	Option		"USB"	"on"
	Option		"Mode"	"Absolute"
	Option		"Threshold"	"1"
	#Option "Model" 	"Flair" 
EndSection

# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
Section "InputDevice"
	Driver		"wacom"
	Identifier	"eraser"
	Option		"Device"	"/dev/tablet-event"
	Option		"Type"	"eraser"
	Option		"!ForceDevice"	"ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY
	Option		"USB"	"on"
	Option		"Mode"	"Absolute"
	Option		"Threshold"	"1"
	#Option "Model" 	"Flair" 
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier	"Default Layout"
  screen 0 "Default Screen" 0 0
# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
#	Inputdevice	"Generic Keyboard"
# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
#	Inputdevice	"Configured Mouse"
# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
	Inputdevice	"stylus"	"SendCoreEvents"
# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
	Inputdevice	"cursor"	"SendCoreEvents"
# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
	Inputdevice	"eraser"	"SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

c) and restarting xorg
the tablet works like that:
- I can move the cursor but its moves are eradic (it jumps from place to place) - very similar effect as I have right know on Intrepid when I use it
- after using the tablet my left mouse button stops functioning
- I can't click using the tablet, so I can't check if the pressure is working
