Hi,

I just got a Wacom Intuos2 6x8 USB, but I'm having trouble getting it
installed.

I get loads of kernel errors when I move the stylus over the pad:

  wacom_intuos_irq: received unknown report #1

I have tried a number of kernel patches that are out there, tried kernel
2.4.19 (vanilla), which is supposed to have all the wacom patches, etc.  I
have read and tried pretty much everything that Google could spit up on
this.  More people have / have had this problem.

Each kernel I tried correctly detected the device, and created a
/dev/input/event0 for it.  I am running Gentoo 1.2 with the latest rsync and
portage (updated this weekend), and hence am running XFree86 4.2.

After tweaking the XFree config file XFree correctly detects the stylus,
eraser and cursor (mouse), and I can select them using xsetpointer, and I
can see them in Gimp (I recompiled GTK+ with xinput support).  Selecting
them however, generates the kernel errors, and nothing moves...

My first question is: does anybody have a working configuration?  If so,
please tell me what it is!

My second question is: why does the driver get a data packet starting with
'1' (report #1)?  The drivers/usb/wacom.c code clearly only accepts '2'
(report #2), yet I don't see any patches attempting to handle the '1' case.
I know very little about the USB driver stuff, but I'm still curious.

Thanks,
Gwendolyn.
