   HELP WANTED  .....

   I am trying to use a wacom pressure tablet to drive the X pointer to be able to use this tablet into a paint system.

	In a previous IRIX version 4.0.1, I was able to attach the wacom to
the X pointer ( using the /usr/people/4Dgifts/examples/devices/input/X/setptr program ). At that time, I had problems to get pressure information ( It was not possible to attach the pointer to the tablet and at the same time, to use the wacom as an extension device ).

	I changed the OS (4.0.5C ) and now, I can't even attach the wacom to the X pointer !!!

	When I try to attach the tablet to the X Pointer, I get the following message:

X Error of failed request:  BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device
  Major opcode of failed request:  132 (XInputExtension)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  12 (X_ChangePointerDevice)
  Value 0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  17
  Current serial number in output stream:  17


	My questions are:

 	- How is it possible to attach the wacom to the X pointer in 4.0.5?
	- How is it possible to change the wacom resolution without having
          to change the the wacom stream device in the kernel ?
	- How is it possible to get the pressure events when the tablet is used as a pointer ?

 Thanks in advance
