Is it safe to assume we're pretty much SOL?

[Favux]

Yep, doesn't look like the wacom driver/module is included for some reason.

The location would be:

/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/tablet

Where `uname -r` is the kernel name you get from running uname -r in a terminal. But there appears to be a modules directory because there are modules. Weird.

Anyway if there is no module you need to compile it. Which you can't without the kernel headers.

Well, ******. But thanks for your help, I guess I'll just buy a new laptop.

I know in 12.04 there's already a wacom tablet built in program, that detects it from system settings, but it just doesn't show up. So I'll upgrade and try everything again I suppose.
