Wacom BambooFun tablet powered, but no input

[Takyoji]

The device is powered when plugged in, but doesn't manipulate the mouse cursor or anything. Even tried the workaround of jumping between virtual terminals (Ctrl+Alt+F1, and back to Ctrl+Alt+F7) to no avail.

Specific model:
CTH-661

The lsusb output for this device:
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 056a:00d8 Wacom Co., Ltd

All that appears via dmesg when the device is detached, then plugged back in:
[ 1110.210670] usb 2-10: USB disconnect, address 5
[ 1116.271281] usb 2-10: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 6

I'm currently using the wacom-dkms package from the 'irie/wacom' PPA, and it appears that ONLY finger-touch-based input manipulates the cursor and nothing else (such as the pen).

[Takyoji (takyoji)]

And it seems the 2nd button on the tablet works as right-click, and the 3rd as left-click.

Did you also use the updated xf86-input-wacom? The Maverick default 0.10.8 does not have your model in it either. See the Bamboo P & T HOW TO: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1515562 And post #2 for adding new models.

By the way touch was fixed with the commits to the git repository last night.

Hey Caleb,

Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?

If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:

  apport-collect <bug-number>

which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
