[PD] wacom external on os x

[Rich E]

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:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=a3297bc90905291044q749cdd85i572f6b4ec771d24f%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=linuxwacom-discuss

... 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.
