Bug Description
Binary package hint: wacom-tools
In Hardy, with my Bamboo Fun 4x5 tablet plugged in at startup, /dev/input/wacom devices are not created and the wacom module is not loaded. If I manually execute "sudo modprobe wacom" the devices are still not created.
In Gutsy, I had to manually build wacom-tools 0.7.9 from source and replace the kernel module with the one built by the wacom-tools compile process. I would assume that after the upload of wacom-tools 0.7.9 in Hardy, this would be fixed, but it doesn't appear to be.
It appears this is because the wacom module in the Hardy kernel is older than the module included with the Linux Wacom Project's source. (The earliest versions of the wacom tools source to include a module with support the Bamboo Fun are 0.7.7-12 and 0.7.8-3.) According to Fedor Isakov (see comment below), the earliest vanilla kernel with support for the Bamboo Fun is 2.6.25-rc7.
