Wacom and Open Suse 11.0, xorg.conf. Help please?

I tried editing it as instructed in the forum and on the how-to site(which is rather old) and it didn’t take. What gives? I tried editing in both kwrite and directly in a terminal. Didn’t stick and didn’t work.

I also(first, actually) tried getting it to work through SaX2, but, I have no idea what values to enter and where. The pen moves like a mouse and only when I’m touching the tablet’s surface, and the scrollbar and alt buttons don’t work. Tis frustrating. :\

Here’s what the wacom section looks like in xorg.conf:
Section “InputDevice”
Driver “wacom”
Identifier “Mouse[7]”
Option “Device” “/dev/input/event0”
Option “InputFashion” “Tablet”
Option “Mode” “Relative”
Option “Name” “INTUOS v1-3 (USB)”
Option “SendCoreEvents” “on”
Option “Threshold” “on”
Option “Tilt” “on”
Option “TopY” “on”
Option “Type” “cursor”
Option “USB” “on”
Option “Vendor” “WACOM”
EndSection

Help? I haven’t edited a file using a command prompt since my DOS/Unix days(about '93) and am in unfamiliar territory. Didn’t even have a computer for about five years there. shudder :frowning:

At a guess, you are using KDE as your desktop ? if so, in a terminal type

 kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf 

& press enter. type in root’s password & then edit to your hearts content. & no, i don’t have a wacom, so wouldn’t know what to put in there.
