I'm trying to get my new Wacom tablet working with X11 in -current.
It's a Wacom Intuos Pen (CTL-490) and it shows up in dmesg like this:

When I run `cat /dev/uhid6` (after making that device) I get output that
seems to suggest it is related to the pen movement. When not moving the
pen there is less output etc.
However, `cat /dev/wsmouse1` doesn't give any output.
Searching the archives I found this suggested xorg.conf InputDevice
section, which I tried:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "pen"
Driver "usbtablet"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/uhid6"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
EndSection
Running this gives me the following error in my Xorg log file though.
Maybe because it was old and only meant for serial-over-usb tablets?
[ 46.602] (II) Using input driver 'usbtablet' for 'pen'
[ 46.602] (**) Option "CorePointer"

Finally I've modified the kernel and called uhidev_set_report with the
same parameters as for the Graphire 3 & 4, because the Linux kernel
driver seems to suggest that without that call the device will run in a
more generic mouse mode. However, it did not change anything.
Does anybody know how to get X working with the uhid device? Or is that
not the suggested method? Based on my findings that uhid6 is for pen
movement, might ums attach to the wrong device?
Thanks for any help.
