[Chauncellor <560180@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Looking at the git commit showed that there was another section that
needed to be edited for setting the mode.

I have created a branch that applied the patch - I have also updated the
description with the diff. Would be helpful if someone could confirm
that this fixes the issue.

** Branch linked: lp:~brettcornwall/xf86-input-wacom/padmode

** Summary changed:

- wacom buttons don't work/cause mouse to move to upper left corner and click.
+ [SRU] Wacom buttons cause mouse to move to upper left corner and click.

** Description changed:

  Since upgrading to Lucid, the buttons both for wacom intous 3 and intous
  4 don't work, and cause the cursor to jump to the top-left corner of the
  screen. I can't change this behavior with xsetwacom. Even he scroll
  wheel/scroll pad does the same thing. As a result, all buttons/scrolling
  utilities are rendered unusable.
  
  A newer release of the program fixes the problems that were present.
  Please consider this as an SRU for Lucid as this bug renders much of a
  tablet's features useless. The site with the changelog:

- their reasoning:
+ The reasoning:
  
  "The pad cannot be in absolute mode as it sends the axis values to the
  server. Since the pad never gets x/y coordinates from the tablet the server
  will fill in the defaults (0/0) for it - even if first_valuator is always >
  1. This results in the pointer being reset to the screen origin each time
  the pad's scroll strip is used."
