Slackware 13 (32 bit) and Wacom Bamboo

[elija]

I have downloaded and installed this slackbuild linuxwacom (0.8.3_6) (SlackBuilds.org - linuxwacom)

I have modified /etc/rc.d/rc.modules to enable the wacom driver
I have modified xorg.conf as suggested on the slackbuild - or rather the wacom project page)

When I less /proc/bus/usb/devices as root I see

By going in to /dev/input and listing the contents I can see the device appear as mouse2 when I plug it in.

modprobe -l | grep wacom produces

kernel/drivers/input/touchscreen/wacom_w8001.ko
kernel/drivers/usb/input/wacom.ko

lsusb | grep -i wacom produces

Bus 007 Device 002: ID 056a:0069 Wacom Co., Ltd

Because of the mouse2 thing in /dev/input I changed the xorg.conf so that /dev/input/wacom became /dev/input/mouse2

The appropriate piece of my xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
    Driver        "wacom"
    Identifier    "stylus"
    Option        "Device"        "/dev/input/mouse2"    # USB ONLY
    Option        "Type"          "stylus"
    Option        "USB"           "on"                  # USB ONLY
EndSection

The tablet stubbornly refuses to do anything. Where can I go from here?

Never used a wacom, but here is some good information. Hopefully it will help. I notice some differences in what is described compared to what you have going on in your xorg.conf.
Wacom Tablet - ArchWiki

Interesting read, I added the static xorg stuff and then I find for each input device
in Xorg.0.log

EE) Wacom Bamboo1: Top/Bottom area overlaps with another devices.

It shouldn't be this hard to plug in a graphics table ffs
