     DESCRIPTION
          wacom is an XFree86 input driver for Wacom devices.

          The wacom driver functions as a pointer input device, and
          may be used as the X server's core pointer.

     SUPPORTED HARDWARE
          This driver supports the Wacom IV and Wacom V protocols.
          Preliminary support is available for USB devices on some
          Linux platforms.

     CONFIGURATION DETAILS
          Please refer to XF86Config(4) for general configuration
          details and for options that can be used with all input
          drivers.  This section only covers configuration details
          specific to this driver.

          Multiple instances of the Wacom devices can cohabit. It can
          be useful to define multiple devices with different active
          zones. Each device supports the following entries:

                  Option "Type" "stylus"|"eraser"|"cursor"
                      sets the type of tool the device represent. This
                      option is mandatory.

                  Option "Device" "path"
                      sets the path to the special file which
                      represents serial line where the tablet is
                      plugged.  You have to specify it for each
                      subsection with the same value if you want to
                      have multiple devices with the same tablet.
                      This option is mandatory.

                  Option "USB" "on"
                      tells the driver to dialog with the tablet the
                      USB way.  This option is only available on some
                      Linux platforms.

                  Option "DeviceName" "name"
                      sets the name of the X device.

                  Option "Suppress" "Inumber"
                      sets the position increment under which not to
                      transmit coordinates.  This entry must be
                      specified only in the first Wacom subsection if
                      you have multiple devices for one tablet. If you
                      don't specify this entry, the default value is
                      computed to

                  Option "Mode" "Relative"|"Absolute"
                      sets the mode of the device.

                  Option "Tilt" "on"
                      enables tilt report if your tablet supports it
                      (ROM version 1.4 and above).  If this is
                      enabled, multiple devices at the same time will
                      not be reported.

                  Option "HistorySize" "number"
                      sets the motion history size. By default the
                      value is zero.

                  Option "AlwaysCore" "on"
                      enables the sharing of the core pointer. When
                      this feature is enabled, the device will take
                      control of the core pointer (and thus will emit
                      core events) and at the same time will be able,
                      when asked so, to report extended events.  You
                      can use the last available integer feedback to
                      control this feature. When the value of the
                      feedback is zero, the feature is disabled. The
                      feature is enabled for any other value.

                  Option "TopX" "number"
                      X coordinate of the top corner of the active
                      zone.

                  Option "TopY" "number"
                      Y coordinate of the top corner of the active
                      zone.

                  Option "BottomX" "Inumber"
                      X coordinate of the bottom corner of the active
                      zone.

                  Option "BottomY" "number"
                      Y coordinate of the bottom corner of the active
                      zone.

                  Option "KeepShape" "on"
                      When this option is enabled, the active zone
                      begins according to TopX and TopY.  The bottom
                      corner is adjusted to keep the ratio
                      width/height of the active zone the same as the
                      screen while maximizing the area described by
                      TopX, TopY, BottomX, BottomY.

                  Option "DebugLevel" number
                      sets the level of debugging info reported.

                  Option "BaudRate" "38400", "19200" or "9600"
                      changes the serial link speed. This option is
                      only available for wacom V models (Intuos).

                  Option "Serial" "number"
                      sets the serial number associated with the
                      physical device. This allows to have multiple
                      devices of the same type (i.e. multiple pens).
                      This option is only available on wacom V devices
                      (Intuos). To see which serial number belongs to
                      a device, you have to set the DebugLevel to 6
                      and watch the output of the X server.

                  Option "Threshold" "number"
                      sets the pressure threshold used to generate a
                      button 1 events of stylus devices for some
                      models of tablets (Intuos and Graphire).
