You can find what you need in the HOWTO http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/newwacom it's.. almost up-to-date.. Follow the instructions in the HOWTO but the content of the 10-wacom.rules-file should be (only one line, excluding the '-'s): --------- KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/wacom" --------- You probably need to reboot after creating this file (or does someone know a better way?). After this you can access the latest connected tablet as /dev/input/wacom. Onto something related.. What is the right way to suggest/make changes on the linuxwacom-web? The result from the one vs two '=' discussion earlier should have resulted in an update imho.
