Methinks I have tried (literally) everything posted on getting my Wacom Bamboo Pen to work, and I'm having a time of it...

One set of instructions for the Xf86-input-wacom-0.10.10 had me restart HAL by killing it, killing related processes, and then starting it...

So we're basically on Day 2, 3, i forgot.... while processes run like a snail in Terminal.

16:11:48.037 [I] device.c:1894: Removing locks from ':1.236'
17:09:09.024 [I] device.c:1894: Removing locks from ':1.238'
17:09:09.037 [I] device.c:1894: Removing locks from ':1.238'
17:09:09.044 [I] device.c:1894: Removing locks from ':1.239'

Last 4 lines of so many that my eyes are burning just trying to understand what is going on.

Why is HAL taking half a week so far to do this?!

My processor is 2GHz, RAM at 2 Gigs, HD at half a TB, and I have *no* clue if this will work.

Has anyone here been successful with Fedora Core 14 and Wacom?
Wacom needs to build a driver similar to Brother's Linux install tool, which basically asks you for your model and then auto-installs the incredibly complex tool.

Maybe I just have my head in the sand from so many years of Winblow$.

I am not sure if the problem is with Fedora, or the tablet. I have a Wacom Graphire and for a while I had to do something like this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WacomTroubleshooting to get it to work in Ubuntu. Eventually Canonical put support into Ubuntu for my tablet, so I haven't done anything like this for a while.
