[gpm]Wacom tablet oddity.

I have a tablet PC here, running Redhat 7.3.  According do all
documentation, this tablet uses a Wacom protocol. (However I am unsure
as to which version of the protocol.)  It is connected to a 3rd serial
port, which is located on ttyS2.  setserial(8) indicates the following:

/dev/ttyS2, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4

Initially ttyS0 also used IRQ 4, so for a quick fix I disabled it in the
BIOS.

gpm -v indicates:

gpm-Linux 1.19.3, $Date: 2000/01/17 22:23:03 $

...
Now here is the problem I am facing:  When I run the following command, I
am getting the following syslog'd errors:

/usr/sbin/gpm -t wacom -m /dev/ttyS2

(I have tried both Relative and Absolute modes.)  Does anyone have any
suggestions or ideas?
