Okay, this is one for the *nix gurus, since I'd rather ask here before I go on the OpenSuSE fora. I'm having a hell of a time configuring my Wacom tablet (and especially trackpad). The problem is that
kcm-tablet5 seems to only work when it wants to, and the rest of the time, pretends the thing doesn't exist, even though the device is working fine.
The
xsetwacom command is working for setting both the pressure curve and screen mapping, but none of the options work (it gives me an error about the device not having that option). The command also isn't changing my button mapping which is a pretty important thing for a left-hander like myself. At this point, I'll probably just use the CLI to rotate the device 180° degrees, since even having the buttons in a somewhat inconvenient place is still better than having to move my hand to operate the ones I need most.
In short, I need to figure out why
kcm-tablet5 seems to work intermittently, since it's the only way I can seem to get the configuration working. There's also probably some obvious solution to this problem that I just haven't thought of.

Edit:
I have edited both
tabletdblocalrc and
tabletprofiles.rc (
wacomtablet-kderc only contains one line with the name of the device) by hand, and tried both simply unplugging/replugging the tablet as well as restarting X. The overrides on the buttons still don't function, but I *was* able to get the touchpad to record right-clicks by tapping properly.
By this point, I suspect that perhaps the device is too new, and perhaps some of the options have changed for configuration.
