Okay, when I looked at the Wacom site I did see some How-tos that 
require you to use the command line. Remember that Bruce and I said that 
our units worked right out of the box. I certainly didn't need to do any 
of that to get my unit to work. I don't see where it says you get 
something extra by going through the How-Tos that I saw. It says to do 
those things if your pad doesn't work. So the obvious question is did 
you try the pad and the pen before you changed anything?

Did you install the Control Panel using Synaptic or something else? 
Using the Control Panel, you can configure the Tablet just like it shows 
you in the manual. My pen and pad worked even before I installed the 
Control Panel.
