Attention everyone! this post is outdated, if you don't want to read the whole thread go to post #541
I know there are some other wacom posts but I have been unable to find a solution after trying out multiple installation guides. I am running ubuntu (with kde and ubuntu-studio packages installed, probably won't make a differnece) 9.04 64-bit. I may try upgrading to karmic to see if I can get it to work.
I just got the new wacom bamboo pen & touch in the post this morning but I am unable to get it working.
The site
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom
says it should be hot-pluggable, but it definately is not.
I have looked at this guide:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...48#post3728548
and changed the .fdi file as shown on:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...page=18%20#176
And I have followed the detailed instructions on:
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/main
This is how far I have got:
I have compiled and installed from linuxwacom-0.8.3-6 (dev version) after trying the stable version. Installation of the driver and tools worked fine.
However, I have tried using wacdump on all the /dev/input/event* and none of them work when I touch the tablet with my finger or stylus or press any of the buttons. I also do not have a /dev/input/wacom file even though I have added the udev rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/ as shown on:
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/in...howto/newwacom
This is the output from /var/log/messages after unloading and reloading the driver using rmmod wacom and modprobe wacom and then unplugging and replugging my tablet.

I modified my xorg.conf, but after the xserver failing to start I reverted it to my backup.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help
P.S the new wacom supports multi-touch so if anyone knows how to get this working as wall that would be great!
