Norman >>> This is, I'm afraid, a hardy perennial:  every new release of 
Ubuntu breaks the solutions that 'Favux' and others have engineered to 
get Wacom tablets working.

I'm sorry to say that I had to give up on this endless cycle when I 
started a serious photography course (for which I now use an Intuos 4 
with an iMac and the various industry standard post-processing software).

I can only suggest the usual approach:  trawl through the recent stuff on

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=967147

which I notice started in November 2008 (!).  I see that Favux - God 
bless him;  that man deserves a medal - is still toiling to repair 
Ubuntu's Wacom software, this time after the breakages caused by the 
11.04 upgrade.

He's a great bloke, and will reply to your posts on that thread most 
helpfully.  But do read and apply the relevant advice on the thread first.

Best wishes, as always.
