(Get the code!)
I ran the 9.04 live CD, and the tablet works. I didn't have to install wacom-tools, and I verified that it was not installed. After setting it up in the gimp I could even use pressure sensitivity!
Now that I'm back in my installed version of 9.04, the tablet still doesn't work.
This is what I did:
- I removed all commented out lines in xorg.conf and restarted gdm. It didn't fix it.
- I verified that there is no file containing the name wacom in /etc/hal/fdi/policy (this was the case for both the live session and my current session - the ony file in this folder was preferences.fdi in both cases).
- I verified that there is a file 10-linuxwacom.fdi (this was the case for both sessions).
- I verified that there is no file with wacom in it in the 10osvendor folder (there was no such file in either session).
I also had a look in the /dev folders. This is the output I got for the live session:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls /dev/input/
by-id event1 event4 event7 mouse0 mouse3
by-path event2 event5 event8 mouse1 tablet-volito2-4x5
event0 event3 event6 mice mouse2 wacom
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls /dev/input/by-id/

I did the same for my current session:
ber@ubuntu:~$ ls /dev/input
by-id event0 event2 event4 event6 mice mouse1
by-path event1 event3 event5 event7 mouse0 mouse2
ber@ubuntu:~$ ls /dev/input/by-id
