I'm now further along than before. After looking at other posts, I set the mouse to 'switch tool based on tablet device" in File> Inkscape Preferences. I'm able to select the tablet pen/stylus -->and I have it working (including pressure)!<-- I can't get the tablet "puck"/mouse to work properly, however. It would be very nice if there were a simple guide to setting up a tablet, instead of having to search multiple places to find things others have tried. Even better, it would be nice if Inkscape simply recognized the device.

I think I can close this bug report, since it's not a "bug" but simply a tablet configuration issue. The issue that started this report is resolved. The bigger issue of using Inkscape with my tablet is not solved, since I can't use the tablet mouse, requiring me to dust off and reconnect my USB mouse. Thanks for your help. If you can direct me to some good resources for properly configuring my tablet, I would appreciate it.
