it was restarted and the "wacom" driver was loaded when attaching the
tablet, not the standard evdev driver, so that part worked as I
mentioned in my last mail.

I should probably upgrade to fc21 and see what happens.

With the evdev driver xsetwacom always returned an empty list, so now
the driver is clearly installed - I get a list of devices.
Question is of course, if F21 has something more recent than F20, although
the kernel version seems to be the same...

...your xsetwacom versoin is newer, maybe that makes the difference.

It seems that xsetwacom is the only thing that differs between your and
my installation, so I think it might make a difference... I will try to
upgrade.

Interesting, hmm, I only noticed that I sometimes was not able to draw
on the canvas, just as I described in my first mail, but otherwise
everything seemed to work fine. It almost sounds that you ran into more
problems than I did, but then again, I do not use the tablet too much
outside of gimp, I tried it with blender (worked) and with synfig studio
(partly worked), also wanted to try krita but it crashes right away when
the tablet is plugged in.

Nick, do you think this would be possible?

Why don't you loop until (pseudo code) [ -n `pidof -s X` ] and try it
then after a short delay? You may also need to set xhost +localhost to
add yourself to the access list, but that's just a guess, I'll try it out,
provided that xsetwacom lets me map the buttons, I'll let you know how far I
get, but I'll update to Fedora 21 first.
Thanks once more for the hints, scripts and configs!
Kind regards,
