As an aside, if I try using the 0.7.3-1 driver, I get absolutely no
response from the cursor at all.  It seems to be loading, and wacdump
recognises that there is a Volito2 there, but doesn't register anything
at all when the cursor moves.

In this case, "Error reading wacom device" only appears when I move the
mouse.

Has anyone any ideas at all?  Or should I just give this up as a bad
lot?
