As I understand it, it's not the mouse itself, but the configuration I have.

This makes the wacom go to it's default settings, and I also can't access it anymore by using the configuration GUI utility that comes with the drivers. When I start the utility, it says tablet not found. I put the xorg.conf file back to how I had it, and I can start the utility and it finds the tablet, but then I'm basically back to where I was with the first posting, where the tablet will respond to some speed and sensitivity settings, but the buttons can't be configured, and it's stuck in "absolute" mode, and not "relative" mode. In short, I can't configure it because it's conflicting with the mouse still. It's still opaque to me as to where this conflict is happening. There is no mouse connected to the computer anymore, and yet still if I try to have an xorg.conf file without reference to a mouse, X windows crashes. What's up with that? Dave
