FC2 - Wacom Graphire 2 problems

[renderdbrian]

Has anyone been able to get their USB wacom Graphire 2 tablet fully working with fedora core 2?

I am having severe problems with mine.

I have compiled the linuxwacom0.6.3 driver, I have set up xorg.conf for the tablet.

I can move the X cursor using the stylus or mouse, but i get no output from xinput test stylus - this means that Gimp can't recieve pressure data from the stylus.

I've also tried with the stock fedora core 2 kernel wacom driver, still no results.

Here is the relevant section from my Xorg.conf

# XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config

# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
