Your XF86Config file looks similar to mine. Three
questions:

1) Do you use a regular mouse in addition to the
tablet?

2) Have you rebooted since you attached your tablet?

3) Has your system been updated with the latest
Rawhide RPMS?

(When I first tried out the tablet with Fedora,
everything was from the stock test3 CDs. The RHN
applet had fooled me into thinking there were no
updates. My bad. I'm updating now; at this moment,
up2date is *still* resolving the dependencies of the
13454 RPM headers that have been downloaded.)
