Public bug reported: My Wacom Intuos2 6x8 tablet works out the box on an Ubuntu 14.04 install. After installing the Nvidia drivers and running updates, the tablet stops responding/moving. The only way to get the stylus working again is to add "blacklist wacom" to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file. And after reboot re-enable the wacom module with:
sudo modprobe wacom This is a problem in Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, as well as, Debian Jessie. It seems something is getting confused with udev.
