Wacom tablet screen mapping

As I was using the Wacom tablet without installing the driver, it was working on its default mode. The default mood of using mouse is same as normal mouse and the default mode of using pen is screen mapping. The pen mode screen mapping sets the screen cursor in a way that wherever I put the tool(pen/mouse) the cursor will jump to its corresponding point on screen. This is also known as absolute positioning.

This was the problem we encountered while testing mGIS for the first time with Jake. Now I have downloaded and installed the Wacom Intuos3 driver from the Wacom site.

Here is the link for Wacom Intuos3 manual:

Now the tablet is working really nice with the pen/mouse with screen mapping mood.
