Comment 8 for bug 527912

i got it (with a lot of help from imo Aaltonen!) more or less. The pen works (but only when i "fly" over the board. Otherwise the pen clicks.
Steps to reproduce:

== Kernel module ==
1) get the new version of the wacom kernel module from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/linuxwacom/linuxwacom-0.8.5-10.tar.bz2
2) extract the sources, go to linuxwacom-0.8.5-10/src/2.6.27
3) build the kernel module with: make
4) load the module: insmod wacom.ko

== xorg driver ==
1) apt-get source xf86-input-wacom
2) use uupdate to update the package
3) debuild
4) install new package with dpkg -i

That's it.
