I use a Wacom Intuos USB, which uses the same drivers. A short checklist
of main things to look for is:
* Kernel drivers -- Make sure wacom.o is loaded in the kernel. The
command "dmesg" should produce lines including something like this:
usb.c: registered new driver wacom
0x21 0x21
input0: Wacom Intuos 6x8 on usb1:2.0
usb.c: wacom driver claimed interface c14eaca0
mouse0: PS/2 mouse device for input0
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
event0: Event device for input0
* XF86 drivers -- Make sure you have the right wacom_drv.o. You can get
that off of Fredrick Leipied's site at
http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~flepied/projects/wacom/.
* XF86 Config -- I'll include mine. I think Lepied's example works pretty
well, as does the howto on the Linux documentation project.
Another site to recommend is Semyon Sosin's howto at
http://sem.best.vwh.net/linux/wacom/ If you've got a USB Intuos, the XF86
driver at this site fixes some tilt problems in Lepied's XF86 driver.
