QuadPen Tablet - worked fine using wacom drivers on Ubuntu 8.04. After
upgrade to 8.10 it stopped working. I have uncommented lines in
xorg.conf which show how it was configured before:

# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
#Section "InputDevice"
#	Driver		"wacom"
#	Identifier	"stylus"
#	Option		"Device"	"/dev/tablet-event"
#	Option		"Type"	"stylus"
#	Option		"ForceDevice"	"ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY
#	Option		"USB"	"on"
#	Option		"Mode"	"Absolute"
#	Option		"Threshold"	"1"
	#Option "Model" 	"Flair" 
#EndSection

# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
#Section "InputDevice"
#	Driver		"wacom"
#	Identifier	"cursor"
#	Option		"Device"	"/dev/tablet-event"
#	Option		"Type"	"cursor"
#	Option		"ForceDevice"	"ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY
#	Option		"USB"	"on"
#	Option		"Mode"	"Absolute"
#	Option		"Threshold"	"1"
#	#Option "Model" 	"Flair" 
#EndSection

# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
#Section "InputDevice"

#	Option		"Type"	"eraser"
#	Option		"!ForceDevice"	"ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY
#	Option		"USB"	"on"
#	Option		"Mode"	"Absolute"
#	Option		"Threshold"	"1"
#	#Option "Model" 	"Flair" 
#EndSection

# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
#	Inputdevice	"stylus"	"SendCoreEvents"

Uncommenting them causes XServer to crash (Ubuntu will stop on "Checking
batteries [OK]" and when I log in using CTRL+F1 startx will get me "no
screen" error). The tablet works best with above settings (Threshold 1
is very importart).
