Yes, I just figured out a fix to avoid losng pen calibration on every reboot, and I'm using it now. After you've installed the cons495-1_int.dmg file, you need to also copy a few files from the DMG and add them to your applications folder...so here goes.

 

1) Inside the cons495-1_int.dmg you will see "Install Pen Tablet.mpkg" - Right click on that and "show package contents"

2) You should now see a file called InstallSemiProTablet.pkg. Right click on that and "show package contents"

3) You should now open the "Contents" folder, open the "Resources" folder and copy the "InstallSemiproTablet.pax.gz" to your desktop.

4) Expand the "InstallSemiproTablet.pax.gz" by double clicking on it, and it will extract files to a folder called "InstallSemiproTablet" on your desktop.

5) Go inside the "Library" folder in the "InstallSemiproTablet" directory on your desktop and double-click to open "Startup items"

6) Drag the "Tablet" directory inside "Startup items" to your Applications folder.

7) Then Go to System Preferences, Accounts, and add the "TabletDriver" (application) you just copied to your Applications folder to your startup items. Your tablet should now work on every reboot without losing preferences.

 

Apparently, this TabletDriver file is not getting loaded when Leopard boots up, so this method is a workaround.
