Does your Wacom Intuos2 work in Ubuntu (or other Linux)?

ATTN: It seems 'Hardware' would be a better place for this thread. Can someone with sufficient privileges please move it there? Sorry for inconvenience! Hello all, I am currently investigating a bug in the Linux Wacom driver relating to USB Intuos2 tablets. In order to work out this bug, I need to know how common issues are. If those who have an Intuos2 tablet and uses Ubuntu (or other distribution) could answer the following questions, it would be a great help!

• 1. Which distribution and version are you running (e.g. Ubuntu 14.04, Debian 8.5, Fedora 24)? Optional: the kernel version (find by running 'uname -a' in terminal)
• 2. What size Intuos2 do you have?
• 3. Is your Intuos2 stylus recognized as it should be in Linux if you start the computer with the tablet connected? Optional: which programs are you using?
• 4. Does your Intuos2 stylus continue to be recognized when the tablet is hotplugged (unplugged and plugged back in when the computer is still running)?
• 5. Have you confirmed that the tablet works fine in Windows/OSX?
• 6. Any extra information such as quirks you have found to get it working.

My answers:

• 1. Operating system: Debian 8.5 with kernel 3.16.0-4-amd64
• 2. Intuos2 6x8 (A5)
• 3. Stylus is recognized if I start computer with tablet connected. Works as pen in MyPaint and GIMP, and as a mouse in other programs.
• 4. Stylus is no longer properly recognized when tablet is hotplugged.
• 5. Not confirmed working in Windows/OSX, however as it works in Linux (expect hotplugging) this is not super relevant.
• 6. Instead of restarting computer after hotplugging, I can run 'sudo rmmod wacom && sudo modprobe wacom'. The stylus is then properly recognized.

Thank you for your time! ------- Note: If you are running in to issues with your Intuos2 tablet (even if you are not using it in Linux) have a look at this page for a way to reset your tablet. I have not tried this as it requires Windows / OSX. http://maggiewang.com/2007/08/21/how...ntuos-2-tablet but it may be of some help.
