I already fixed the Wiki instructions. I'm not sure what's different about my system, it's mostly stock 767. I had previously installed pgf's wacom.ko using insmod: http://dev.laptop.org/~pgf/wacom.ko to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/input/ However, I assumed that the yum install linuxwacom overwrote it. Perhaps not though, I'm new to Linux kernel modules. Try grabbing and installing that kernel module, and see if it magically works. -Wade
