Cannot select or draw

Hi,

I have a problem 'selecting' with my Wacom Graphire tablet: hovering the pen across the tablet without touching it will move/place the cursor, however when moving the pen while touching the tablet the cursor gets stuck at the point of touching, with no movement occurring after until I lift of the pen again. Consequently nothing gets 'selected' (sometimes erratic selections occur after lifting the pen). Along this line I also cannot 'draw' (eg. in gimp) because the cursor gets stuck when touching the tablet with the pen. Playing around with wacomcpl settings did not help me.

I've configured the tablet by modifying /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules, according to http://en.opensuse.org/Wacom_USB_tablet_howto

Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
Xaver

This sounds like a bug I saw some time ago on my system as well. It happened
in a specific X/wacom version combo. Its long fixed in current versions.

The current version is 0.8.4-3. you should probably upgrade. Most likely you
will need to build from source.
