2.6.15 already has the up-to-date wacom and hid drivers (well, 0.7.2
anyway), so you can skip building kernel modules. The things you need
to do now are:
1) Install the X wacom driver in /usr/lib/modules/input/wacom_drv.o
2) Configure X properly. This means your configuration (probably
/etc/X11/xorg.conf) should have this:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "eraser"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "cursor"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY
EndSection
3) Create /etc/udev/rules.d/10-wacom.rules with this line:
KERNEL="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}="056a", NAME="input/%k",
SYMLINK="input/wacom%e"
4) Reboot (easier than trying to restart X and udevd).
Note that this is for my Gentoo setup. I have an Ubuntu laptop (with
Dapper even), but I don't presently have the wacom stuff setup on
there yet.
It's entirely possible that the Dapper packages are up-to-date. Have
you tried (I think) wacom-tools? Seach synaptic for "wacom". Then you
might not have to do any of the above.
