RE: [Linuxwacom-discuss] problem with cintiq on redhat 9: fixed!

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Thanks, that worked.

I made the changes in XF86Config (according to the HOWTO), and 
restarted X, and it worked, except that the display was shifted 
to the right about 100 pixels (and the tablet events were shifted 
the same amount). That got fixed when I turned the tablet off and 
back on again.

wacdump still doesn't work, but that's okay.

One problem I have now is the cursor lags behind the stylus 
whenever I move it moderately fast... I'll read the docs to see 
if there's any way to improve that kind of behavior.

Again, thanks, Ping!
