Well after I used that command I found out that moving the pen over
the tablet for /dev/input/event3 worked. So I changed my XF86Config-4
accordingly and it worked!!! However then I wanted to understand the
problem (what a foolish idea), since 

    - I played around with the drivers (wacom and usbhid) from
      linuxwacom-0.7.2 and the one shipped in the vanilla 2.6.13
      kernel and

    - moreover with the wacom_drv.o in
      /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/
      (running XFree 4.3) vrs the one in linuxwacom-0.7.2/prebuild

When I removed the wacom_drv.o the tablet did not work any more
so thise are essentials. Then I rebooted and therefore the
drivers of the 2.6.13 were used.

    -  Now the tablet was no longer /dev/input/event3 but
       /dev/input/event2. However when I changed the XF86Config-4
       file, the tablet was not recognised any longer. Then I
       removed the 2.6.13 drivers and inserted the
       linuxwacom-0.7.2 drivers (not sure which to put first,
       wacom or usbhid). Anyhow

Now wacomdump /dev/input/event3 returns error
13:28:28.319 ERROR: Failed to open /dev/input/event3: No such device
WacomOpenTablet: No such device

Also the device is there!!!!!! I changed again to the 2.6.13
drivers. But no success. So now it seems really f....up

I am now really confused. It looks like a module problem!!!
