Bug#671801: please backport the 3.3 wacom driver to 3.2 [afterthought]

Excellent. Thanks for the update. Kernel maintainers: please consider the 25-patch series from [1] for sid. It adds support for various new wacom tablets to the input subsystem, most notably the Bamboo PenTouch gen3. it occurred to me that I saw no obvious way to configure the tablet, so the only operating mode is to have the small, approximately A5-sized sensitive area represent the whole screen. Which makes using the tablet sort of difficult if you have a large screen resolution because the cursor jumps at every small move. It's sort of like a mouse with high accelleration. So while it technically works, I'm a bit doubtful about the usefulness of it - but then, I have no expectations.

Imho, the only missing part seems to be the kernel-level driver, which is not in the stock 3.2 kernel. The X driver is already fine.

It's a 3.2.16 plus your patches: ii linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64 3.2.16-1a~test plus its prerequisites. A little too much for the upstream -stable trees, but these look like good changes for wheezy. The results are, as with the 3.3 kernel: * Using the tablet with one finger works, although very clumsily. It's more like trial-and-error to put the pointer somewhere, and tapping the tablet does not work at all - one has to press the appropriate button. * When I put the stylus close to the tablet, the blue LED changes its colour to white. But otherwise, the stylus has no effect whatsoever - can't use the mouse, nor press a button. * None of the more advanced functions of the tablet (pressure sensitivity, 3D, or multi-touch) work. I didn't made any effort to specifically configure the X server to work with this tablet, so those results only reflect what I got out of auto-detecting the device (ie, plugging it in and see what I get). That may or may not make any difference... but I'm no expert in this kind of stuff.
