I downloaded the latest linuxwacom package and manually copied the following files:
/prebuilt/32/wacom_drv.o to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/
/prebuilt/32/wacom_drv.so to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/
Note that automatic configuration won't work. At least in my case it didn't.
More Info:
xorg.conf ModificationsAdd the following Lines to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
in Section "module"
Load "wacom"
in its own sections:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "cursor"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0" // NOTE: It may vary in your laptop, is different from distro to distro
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Button2" "3"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Button2" "3"
EndSection
Finally, in ServerLayout
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
Configuring the GIMPFirst of all, figure out where it is

for some reason GIMP is not in my programs menu, so I accessed it through command Line: gimp
Open "File"/"Preferences" (it may be different, mine is in Spanish). Section "input devices", click on "Configure Extended Input Devices". Select Device "stylus" and change its status from "disabled" to "screen". That will enable pressure sensitivity.
