Not sure whether here is the right place to post this but, It doesn't work 
completely for me. 
I'm using a Graphire 4 A6 the wacom-tools and xserver-xorg-input-wacom packages 
from jaunty's repos ver. 1:0.8.2.2-0ubuntu2 plus a selfcompiled driver from 
linuxwacom-0.8.3-2 (configured with --enable-quirk-tablet-rescale)  as previous 
versions didn't support my kernel version of 2.6.28-11. xorg-server 
2:1.6.0-0ubuntu14

The problem: the tablet is stretched  across both monitors and I can't 
configure it for my twinview since wacomcpl doesn't list any of my wacom 
devices. wacdump /dev/input/wacom only confirms
MODEL=Wacom Graphire4 4x5               ROM=4.0-3
CLS=USB  VNDR=Wacom  DEV=Graphire4  SUB=CTE_440
but registers no pen movments or button events. Similary sudo xxd 
/dev/input/wacom produces no output.
Pressuresensivity + scrollwheel work fine.

since this was, as I understood, aiming to enable tablets without specifying 
anything in xorg.conf, for above I commented out everything wacom related in 
xorg.conf.
With the appropriated lines in xorg.conf I DO get the devices listed by 
wacomcpl and can configure them for twinview. However, they only ever get 
restricted to my first monitor and won't ever switch to the second as they did 
in intrepid. With one of the pad-keys set to Display Toogle the only difference 
I could spot was getting a few pixles further onto the second one with desktop, 
while screen1 and screen0 restricted me to screen0 only.

Without both packages and with linuxwacom-0.8.3-2 (configured with 
--enable-quirk-tablet-rescale(!)) compiled and installed from source + 
xorg.conf with wacom devices listed works like a charm though. 
(I was going through all possibilities while writing this. this was my last 
hope and even though it works now for me, it still seems to confirm that this 
package might need some further tweaking.)


Regarding Todor's and some other peeps problems with pad buttons and 
scrollwheel. Try configuring them through wacomcpl. If it doesn't list your 
devices, add them to xorg.conf as described here: 
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/inputdev
In wacomcpl, choose pad->Tablet Controls and configure the keys as needed
Tips: set Wheel Up to fifth and Wheel Down to Fourth and test them in other 
applications than gimp, such as firefox, as gimp tends to ignore the wheel. 
If wacomcpl gives an error on accessing .xinitrc you might have to chmod 
~/.xinitrc for it to have permission to write.
