Oh, dear, not again! I'm still using 9.10, where - as you said - the
Wacom tablet works fine; so I'm sorry to hear that it's broken again in
10.

It's an interesting thought but there was to have been something

the Hal setup. From what I read, this did not happen due to lack of time
but may well be in 9.10. Howeve

The continuing saga of the Wacom Bamboo :- I now have a script that will
programme the buttons on the pad and stylus which I have tested in both
8.04 and 9.04. If anyone would like to try the script I will happily

Taking note of all the helpful advice I was given I have successfully
installed 8.04.2 my thanks to all. Now, I hope that I will be able to go
ahead and set up to get the Bamboo to work as it should. Before I go
along too many blind alleys 'words of wisdom' would be very much
appreciated.

Thank you very much I will back up and go for 8.04. I think it will be

Yes, your old xorg.conf has got all the normal wacom stuff commented out
(but it looks as though it never had the 'pad' section that makes the
circular pad work).

Looking in Synaptic Package Manager I see that there is
xserver-xorg-input wacom-already installed but another, wacom-tools not
installed. Perhaps installing wacom-tools could be a way forward.
