I'm trying to install my new Wacom Bamboo Pen + Touch tablet in Ubuntu 10.10. As described here, among other places, I've installed the Wacom dkms package by doctormo and rebooted my PC, but the tablet doesn't work.
What works?
The lights on the tablet, and it shows up in lsbusb
.
What doesn't
Nothing else. There is no input. xsetwacom list devices
gives emptiness.

I found the solution. For some reason I was running an old Linux kernel (2.6.32-22). I've switched to 2.6.35-28 now and it works instantly.
It still needs some tweaking to get it as comfortable as in Windows (things like scrolling, pressure sensitivity), but they are for other questions.
