Comment 7 for bug 215689

You could try this fdi-file (stolen from Fedora) and put it in /etc/hal/fdi/policy, to see how it works with the xserver in hardy:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!-- this is probably a bit imprecise -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input">
      <match key="info.product" contains="Wacom">
 <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">wacom</merge>
      </match>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

remember to use an xorg.conf without wacom entries on it.
