rc5 should be available to you:
http://static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/X11-2.3.1_rc5.pkg
It's highly probable that the issue is not your system but is a bug
somewhere in the stack. I cleaned up tablet support in rc5 over rc3.
You should see other devices listed like you'd expect on linux (eraser
for example). The server also now informs the application what the
range of values will be for pressure and tilt, so that might fix your
negative values problem.
I'd also appreciate it if you could test the proximity support in
2.3.1_rc5 (this is what is responsible for determining if you're using
the eraser or pen).

If you want to have tablet support in gimp, apply this patch to
the Portfile for gtk2 in Macports, and pull gimp or inkscape from
Macports. If you don't know what this means, just bug whoever you
get your binary version of gimp/inkscape from and tell them to
compile gtk with '--with-xinput' configure option.
I just tried with macports and the latest inkscape SVN. The tablet
(wacom intuos 3) is indeed detected and I have two input devices:
Quartz pointing device (which seems to be the mouse)
pen
the pressure and tilt tests work but drawing on the canvas gives
unexpected results. The issue is (I think) that coordinates,
pressure etc. are recorded as *negative* values inside Inkscape (in
"xinput test pen" the values are OK). I am now rebuilding gimp2 to
check what happens there and if this is a gtk problem or just an
inkscape problem.
I get no response whatsoever in Gimp and I think this is probably
also related to the negative coordinates issues (input at negative
coordinates is outside the image). Is it possible that something is
screwed up on my system? How can I be sure to fall back on the
default settings for this tablet?
Thanks in advance.
