Thanks to the efforts of Favux on the Ubuntu forums, this problem has been solved. See this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1666249
OS: Xubuntu 10.10
Kernel: 2.6.35-24-generic.
Tablet: Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch, model no. CTH-460
I'm trying to get my new Wacom tablet running. I compiled and installed xf86-input-wacom-0.10.10 and input-wacom-0.10.10-1, as I have kernel version 2.6.35 and X version 1.9.0.
I did this inside the appropriate directory to install the drivers.
Code:
# ./configure --enable-wacom
# make
# cp src/2.6.30/wacom.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/tablet
I have the following in my xorg.conf file.
Code:

Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0

Changing
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" to
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0" in xorg.conf makes the tablet's touch stop working, so I expect it might just be recognized as another mouse, but I still don't know why the pen doesn't work.
My
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules file contains the following.
Code:
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{bInterfaceNumber}=="00", ENV{WACOM_TYPE}="stylus"
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{bInterfaceNumber}=="01", ENV{WACOM_TYPE}="touch"
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", ENV{WACOM_TYPE}!="touch", SYMLINK+="input/wacom"
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", ENV{WACOM_TYPE}=="touch", SYMLINK+="input/wacom-touch"
The touch moves my mouse, but it jumps around sometimes. The pen doesn't work. The tablet seems to be recognized by GIMP version 2.6.10, as it shows the "Wacom BambooPT 2FG 4x5 Pen eraser", "Wacom BambooPT 2FG 4x5 Pen stylus", "Wacom BambooPT 2FG 4x5 Finger pad", "Wacom BambooPT 2FG 4x5 Finger touch", in both "Preferences" -> "Input Devices" -> "Configure extended input devices..." and the "Device Status" dialog, but only the finger touch seems to work.
I also have a USB mouse plugged in. If I keep the tablet plugged in when I boot up, the mouse and touch work fine, but, if I remove the tablet and plug it back in, the mouse stops working.
With the tablet plugged in at boot up...
The
lsusb command yields the following.

dmesg | grep [Ww]acom returns the following.
Code:

Note the "v1.52" version number. Based on what I've read, I think that isn't the right version number. Maybe the correct driver isn't being loaded, but I don't know why that would be.
I'm hoping that I'm not missing something glaringly obvious here. It took me a few hours to realize that I had been using the wrong drivers, so I'm obviously not the most perceptive sort.
