Comment 5 for bug 568064

Strikton:
I think that the procedure you put in the link is incorrect for Lucid, the procedure that worked for me was:

Download the latest package from linuxwacom.sourceforge.net, I used both the 0.8.6 and the development one and both worked, the most notable difference between is that the xsetwacom in the development version already has the option xsetwacom list xsetwacom list mod

[CODE]

cd linuxwacom-0.8.6

./configure --enable-wacom

cd src/2.6.30/ # Don't Care about the kernel version in Ubuntu which is 2.6.32

make

sudo cp wacom.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/

sudo rmmod wacom # It is required because you already installed the module

sudo modprobe wacom

[/CODE]

After that you should register the wacom module in /etc/modules

If you have a Pen & Touch tablet may be you want avoid the finger cursor, it is uncomfortable when you use the pen. Create an execultable called .xinitrc in your home directory with the lines

[CODE]
xsetwacom set "Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Finger" touch off

# run the primary system script
. /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[/CODE]
