** Description changed:

- I upgraded from karmic koala to lucid beta on a lenovo laptop, and I use wacom tablet for inpu.
- In karmic, the pad butons- the butons on the tablet itelf worked fine, and could be remapped with xsetwacom. In 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.
+ 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:
+ 
+ http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxwacom-
+ devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg00736.html
+ 
+ The diff between versions that fixes the bug:
+ 
+ -       /* Pad is always in absolute mode. */
+ +       /* Pad is always in relative mode. */
+         if (IsPad(priv))
+ -               priv->flags |= ABSOLUTE_FLAG;
+ +               priv->flags &= ~ABSOLUTE_FLAG;
+ 
+ their 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."
