In the most recent version of Ubuntu, I had to turn off HAL and go back to just using xorg.conf. You can follow a very confused thread (on my part) about this, which eventually leads to success: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=a3297bc90905291044q749cdd85i572f6b4ec771d24f%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=linuxwacom-discuss">http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=a3297bc90905291044q749cdd85i572f6b4ec771d24f%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=linuxwacom-discuss</a><br>
<br>... but, essentially you need to remove the hal configure scripts, then make sure the Mouse section in your xorg.conf file does not point to '/dev/input/mice', but to whatever your mouse actually is. Then your tablet will just spit out events without controlling the pointer.<br>

Actually, I was wondering something else too, Thomas or others who use a<br>
wacom tablet on macs. Do you keep it as a pointer device, or is there a way<br>
to turn this off? In linux, I was able to just disable it as a pointing<br>
device so it was solely a controller in pd.<br>

can you post instructions about that somewhere? I might be trying to do that, but the control of hid changes with each linux version (which is the same time frame as I try to use linux).<br>
