(i followed the steps at the top, then edited the Xorg as done on the below guide)

Code:
modprobe wacom
cat /dev/input/wacom <---- you should move your stylus and see some funky characters
I saw the the weird symbols, and it seemed to detect the pen as it should. Yet when i restarted X nothing changed, i am not too sure whats wrong.

I am not to sure if there is suppose to be something in /proc/bus/usb or not, there is nothing in there.
but here is my:
more /proc/bus/input/devices

Code:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=056a Product=0018 Version=0113
N: Name="Wacom BambooFun 6x8"
P: Phys=
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input5
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse2 event5 
B: EV=1f
B: KEY=1c63 0 70033 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=100
B: ABS=100 3000103
B: MSC=1
I am in desperate need of help, i need to do some art work, but i dont want to leave Zenwalk for another distro that is easier to set up my tablet.

So you problem is with X.

Did your Xorg configuration instruct the X server to use the tablet as mouse?
Did it succeed? (see /var/log/Xorg.0.log)

i looked there and seems it can't load the driver.

Code:
(II) LoadModule: "wacom"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//wacom_drv.so
dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//wacom_drv.so: undefined symbol: xf86errno
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//wacom_drv.so
(II) UnloadModule: "wacom"
(EE) Failed to load module "wacom" (loader failed, 7)
(EE) No input driver matching `wacom'

This looks as if the wacom_drv.so driver was compiled for a different version of X.org.
