Binary package hint: wacom-tools
In Intrepid, the Wacom driver seems to create a /dev/input/js node-- When X is running, these devices are nonfunctional--they return -32768 on all axes, according to jstest.
Unfortunately, this plays havoc with games that use joysticks-- if the tablet happens to be joystick zero, the game tries to use it, and ends up with a joystick that's stuck at full up-left. Udev hackery might be able to solve this, but for the time being i've been relegated to manually deleting the tablet's joystick node before starting up any games.
