Just for the record/posterity, to get my Intuos3 tablet to work again
(just got a replacement pen today) in 8.10, I had to modify the
xorg.conf file as outlined here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom

Otherwise, none of the tilt/pressure/pad/eraser would function.  On a
somewhat related note, I could not get wacdump to work in X - it would
not show anything.  I had to log out and hop over to VT1 to see any
output.  Hopefully this helps someone in the future.
