Hello and welcome to fedoraforum. Can you please post your Xorg.conf? Here's the wacom relative parts of my Xorg.conf file:

Code:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Default Layout"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"

        Identifier  "pad"
        Driver      "wacom"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
        Option      "Type" "pad"
        Option      "USB" "on"
        Option      "Button1" "6"
        Option      "Button2" "7"

        Option      "Button4" "5"
EndSection

I'm using the 0.7.7 beta driver, though... Since I'm using a Graphire 4, that's why there's a "pad" device (for the extra buttons and wheel), you will have to do the same for the many buttons in the Intous. I strongly recommend you checking the archives of the linuxwacom project so you know better how to configure your Intous.

Ohh, and before I forget, here are the udev rules you need in 60-wacom.rules:

Code:

# udev rule to create /dev/input/wacomN for wacom tablets

KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/wacom%e"

I actually changed my 60-wacom.rules to 10-wacom.rules, so vinculation to /dev/input/event? for /dev/input/wacom is done earliest and before the X server starts by RHGB.
