Comment 4 for bug 295292

Andrew, that page needs to be corrected then. Is it for installing the binaries or compiling?

For the crash, your also had the crash before installing the 0.8.1.6 wacom drivers with an xorg.conf that doesn't have any configuration for wacom devices. Then after updates you didn't have it, and after installing the 0.8.1.6 wacom drivers you had it again - it's going to get hard to trobleshoot, especially if some updates were installed in the meantime.

Try reinstalling the wacom drivers from the repos :
sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-input-wacom wacom-tools
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom wacom-tools
