Comment 17 for bug 1498664

Hi there,
I got an intuos comics and I noticed the same. No detected by the unity control center, but working. So it's not a kernel issue, but just a UI one.

I have browsed the source of unity-control-center and in gsd-wacom-device.c it makes use of libwacom.
XSetWacom is not using that library.
So my bold guess is.. is this library able to detect our wacom devices?
I do not have a wacom tablet right now and I cannot test it.. but please run

apt-get install libwacom-bin
/usr/bin/libwacom-list-local-devices

to check if your device is listed.
If not the problem is about adding it to the list of devices supported by libwacom:
