See WacomArtPadII which describes how to set up a serial tablet on woody. The tablet was behaving fine as a mouse (/dev/input/mice), but could not talk to X through /dev/input/eventX (xidump was not working) In some cases it may be required to evdev to the hotplug blacklist.

Patching the kernel mousedev.c with the patch found at almost fixed this problem. The tablet is recognized, but has troubles in X: when moving the pen, the kernel gets stuck in the upper right corner of the screen. Later kernels (2.6.10, 2.6.12?) do not require patching. However, it seems the Wacom support got broken in some kernel > 2.6.5.

c) Restart the X server, and the pen should now function with pressure.Дebian Sarge now contains update in the kernel and xfree.

If your tablet has an eraser and/or additional mouse: # Settings for wacom eraserД®ndsection * b) Find '''Section''' 'ServerLayout' and put in the following three lines You'll have to edit /etc/X11/ ?XF86Config-4 as follow:ДЄ) Add the following block after the end of the last Section ' ?InputDevice'. If you do not use udev you will need to replace /dev/input/wacom by the correct device (/dev/ ?ttySX for serial or /dev/input/eventX for USB).ДЄdd the new device to the X configuration The new wacom-tools package provide a udev rule that create a symlink from /dev/input/wacom to the appropriate /dev/input/eventX. To find out which /dev/input/eventX is which mouse, use 'sudo xxd /dev/input/mouseX' and move the pen or mouse.

* Window* means the tablet input will be mapped to the current image window, and * Screen* means the tablet will be mapped to the screen as usual. Then set the mode dropdown to the mode you'd like the table to use. To make pressure sensitivity work in the Gimp, open the 'Preferences->Input Devices->Configure extended input devices' dialog and choose stylus from the device dropdown. In Gimp, there is a convenient window at 'File->Dialogues->Device Status' which tells you what input device the Xserver has found (see also xinput). In case of stylus pointer get stuck on the wrong screen you use this command: xsetwacom -set '14' MapToOutput 1920x1080+0+1024 Cintiq Pro 13 Pen eraser id: 15 type: ERASER Cintiq Pro 13 Pen stylus id: 14 type: STYLUS Cintiq Pro 13 Touch Finger touch id: 13 type: TOUCH You should get something like this: Wacom Co.,Ltd. List if the device is detected correctly: xsetwacom -list dev On Debian Jessie and above you can use the Gnome settings to configure a Wacom tablet. On Debian Jessie it appears to have some issues with some devices: when clicking or dragging, the pointer will often shoot across the screen at randomвЂ¦ In that case the best thing to do is to upgrade to Debian Stretch.
