Recently upgraded a PhenomX3 to from 13.1 to LEAP 42.2 (kernel 4.4.49-16) and the Intuos2 6x8 tablet appears to be recognised, but doesn’t actually move the pointer
The kernel appears to have recognised the tablet (on plugging the USB cable in):

and pen-hover/touch input can be interpreted with evemu-record
(and Gnome’s Wacom settings window recognises that an Intuos2 6x8 is being attached, or detached)

but the Xorg.0.log reports lots of errors during the same ‘pen hover/touch’ events, and the mouse pointer doesn’t move

the pen’s eraser doesn’t move the mouse pointer either.
Some very old Fedora posts suggested I add wacom to /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf, which I did (and then
modprobe wacom later). The wacom module managed to be loaded anyway, without me explicitly issuing a
modprobe command, and the pen still doesn’t work.
Thanks for any help!
