Bug Description
Fixing this requires two things:
(1) An xserver patch. This is now upstream:
http://
(2) Additional udev rules need to be added to the xf86-input-wacom rules file.

I would strongly suggest not waiting for debian on this (I contacted Ron about this three weeks ago), as I think it's important that testing Tablet PCs be possible at this point in the release cycle.

For the record, my HP 2710p (which worked (almost*) perfectly in Karmic) seems to be affected by this bug -- the pen is ignored in Lucid. This machine has a Wacom digitiser on ttyS0.
* (I say "almost" because Karmic treated the pen's right mouse button as a middle mouse button by default, which is presumably unrelated; I'll file another bug for that if it's still present when the digitiser is recognised again.)
