Hi all,

Most of the updade to xorg 1.5.3 worked well for me.

However, my Wacom Volito2 tablet does not work as exepected. (It worked well before the upgrade)

I have a dual screen setup and I would like the tablet to be contained only in screen 0, and to be in absolute mode
Instead of that, the pointer behaves like my mouse (relative mode, and goes in both screens)

Here is my Xorg.conf section that used to work :

After some intensive googling I found a fdi file that I customized.

It seems to work right now.

Here it is, hope this might help someone

/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-wacom.fdi

You can probably do better than 'input', it should have a more
distinctive capability (mouses have input.mouse, touchpads have
input.mouse and input.touchpad, so tablets may have something too).
I'm not saing "it won't work", just "it looks ugly, probably without a reason".
