Ok, I started by upgrading a 13.04 install (which was the result of a
series of upgrades 12.04->12.10->13.04) with all available updates to 13.10.

The results of sudo dpkg -l | grep wacom are

ii libwacom-common 0.7-1ubuntu2 all Wacom model
feature query library (common files)
ii libwacom2:amd64 0.7-1ubuntu2 amd64 Wacom
model feature query library
ii xserver-xorg-input-wacom 1:0.20.0-0ubuntu1 amd64 X.Org X
server -- Wacom input driver

I do not have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (haven't needed one for several
years) nor an /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d folder.

The only files in /etc/udev/rules.d are

10-vboxdrv.rules
70-persistent-cd.rules
70-persistent-net.rules
80-canon-mfp.rules

I'm using an Intuos2 tablet (model XD-0405-U) and mouse. Just in case
there is some strange interaction with the video, I've got a nVidia
GeForce GT-630 graphics card with the proprietary nVidia-319 driver.

It's a bit of a mystery to me too. Good luck sorting your installation out.
