Please recommend xsetwacom settings

I finally got my Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch working in Fedora. However, configuring it is becoming a pain.

I have the pen set to absolute and managed to get it to the screen width. But when the pen touches the tablet it's activating a click. How do I get it so I have to tap the pad for a click?

The touch absolute was a lost cause. so I set it to relative but have the same problem. If I touch the bad it's a left-click hold. How do I set it so I need to tap the pad for a click?

Also is there a way to setup a two finger drag for scrolling? How do I set up middle and right button clicks on the touch?

I've been trying various things but this is all new to me and trial and error, plus the Linux Wacom Project manual aren't really getting me anywhere.

Have you seen: "man wacom" or "xsetwacom -h" ?

Thanks

I, too, am having troubles with xsetwacom but I am using Ubuntu. The short version of my troubles says, "xsetwacom doesn't seem to work."

I can get the following:

Code:

user@host:/path/ $ sudo xsetwacom list param

TopX             - Bounding rect left coordinate in tablet units.
TopY             - Bounding rect top coordinate in tablet units .

When I type the command, xsetwacom list dev I get nothing as output.

I can also get this:

My tablet is a Wacom built-in OEM-serial tablet that is part of my Lenovo Thinkpad X61-tablet, tablet-PC.
