Intuos3 problem


Hi, I at trying to get my Intuos 3 installed on Debian Lenny AMD64. I installed both the xserver-xorg-input-wacom and wacom-tools. The problem is that the tablet works like a mouse. I have to press down and move the pen for it to work. In Windows, I can just hover over the tablet without making contact and it will move the cursor. Also, it isn't calibrated to the screen.

I put "wacom" in /etc/modules. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my xorg.conf though I'm pretty sure the problem doesn't lie here. I've spent hours searching for answers but I can't find any.

Code:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 256.44  (buildmeister@builder103.nvidia.com)  Thu Jul 29 01:52:55 PDT 2010

I read through the entire guide, just to find out I had 2 "ServerLayout" sections. Turns out just my xorg.conf was wrong. Thanks
