I have the same issue. My desperate workaround is to pull the USB plug and reinsert it. That seems to reset the tablet and make it work again, but the problem returns after a few minutes. Another workaround is to flip the pen and use the eraser end, which buys a bit more time before having to pull the plug again. It was flawless before the 17.10 upgrade.

The Wacom tablet works fine for few seconds while drawing, and then the pointer would suddenly disappears. I can still use the tablet to draw stuff, but there is no visible pointer on screen, so I am doing it blindly. Just so you know the mouse pointer appears separately and works fine. If you need additional info, just send me the set of commands I need to run. Thanks!!
