Hmmm. Maybe a version issue?
For me, man xsetwacom ends like this:
Code:
PARAMETERS
MapToOutput output
Map the tablet's input area to the given output (e.g. "VGA1"). The output must specify one of those available through the
XRandR extension. A list of outputs may be obtained with the xrandr tool. The output mapping configuration is a once-off
setting and does not track output reconfigurations; the command needs to be re-run whenever the output configuration
changes. When used with tablet rotation, the tablet must be rotated before it is mapped to the new screen. This parameter
is write-only and cannot be queried.

Unlike most Wacom tablets a BambooPT has two parent devices Pen and Finger, see:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...ets_with_Touch And the pad is a daughter device of Finger. You can think of the parent device Finger being the equivalent of touch just like you can think of the parent device Pen as the stylus, with eraser the daughter device. So with most Wacom tablets you can use tablet and stylus interchangeably since they essentially describe the same thing. And obviously the Pad (express keys) have buttons and touch needs a "button" assignment so it will left click (and two finger right click).
Ahh, ok! Many thanks for that explanation!
Sure, but that doesn't apply to a stylus does it? BambooPT's don't have a Wacom tablet mouse (cursor).
Well, besides the BambooPT, I have a normal Logitech USB mouse attached, and use both the mouse and and Bamboo alternatingly to move the mouse cursor.
As I'm left-handed, I normally set the mouse to left-handed use in the mouse settings as well, which swaps the left and right buttons not only on the Logitech mouse, but changes the default action of the tip of the stylus to right-click as well. Thus my attempt to assign "3" (left-click with mouse set to left-handed mode) to button 1 of the stylus...
Just discovered that using xsetwacom to set the stylus tip/Button 1 to left click i.e. 1 (the driver default) seems to cause the problem you are describing. Maybe since Natty, so xf86-input-wacom-0.11.10? Since that is the driver default I don't use that xsetwacom command in my scripts so I was oblivious to the problem. So that may be your problem.
Yes yes yes!!!! Thank you very much for that hint!
I just did the inverse of what you described: Re-set my ("Logitech") mouse to left-handed, and removed the xsetwacom commands for setting the stylus tip as well. That is, everything back to the defaults. And now it works as expected: Normal LMB operation for the stylus tip! 
(I still would prefer to have the buttons on the Logitech mouse the other way round, but that's really something I can live with.)
Not sure when this "jump" behaviour started though: At work I have a Ubuntu 10.04 box with an older Wacom tablet that may experience exactly the same issues (right now I suspect that it only works by accident, because all of its settings happen to be at their defaults) --- I'll check the details first thing tomorrow when back in office.
I have to see if the same thing happens if I assign a Pad button to left click.
I tried that, too, but assigning LBM to one of the buttons seemed to work only with some / a subset of the Pad buttons.
I have a partial list of the ones I could recall in the button stuff on the HOW TO.
Ok, thank you very much for everything!!
As you are a lot more involved in all this than I am, would you mind relaying my bug report to the right folks? Or should I report it at the Linux Wacom project? (Or elsewhere?)

), but I can make a set of screenshots if it helps to describe the problem?
