An A4-sized Wacom Graphire 4, or...

uhidev1: WACOM CTE-640-U V4.0-3, rev 1.01/4.03, addr 3, iclass 3/1
ali@tuttis$ dmesg | grep -iE 'wacom|uhidev1'

uhidev1: 3 report ids

uhid0 at uhidev1 reportid 2: input=7, output=0, feature=1
uhid1 at uhidev1 reportid 3: input=0, output=0, feature=1

.. as NetBSD likes to call it.

NetBSD-4.0.0_PATCH/amd64 and modular Xorg 7.2.0

.oO( Interesting versioning scheme, my much newer pkgsrc-2008Q2 modular
     Xorg on $OTHER_BOX says  "1.3.0"... )

I have to use modular xorg in order for my GeForce 8600 GTS to work; 
however, modular Xorg unfortunately doesn't have the usbtablet(4) driver 
that base XFree86 has, so a.t.m. I can only use it as an 
absolute-positioning mouse -- it shows up as wsmouse1 at ums1 mux 0.
