Please try installing an appropriate kernel package we're distributing:

http://sf.net/apps/mediawiki/digimend/?title=Kernel_packages

After that, the tablet should work either with xf86-input-wacom or
xf86-input-evdev. However, xf86-input-wacom won't support tilting, but
xf86-input-evdev will (in most applications). OTOH, xf86-input-evdev won't
support "eraser" button, but xf86-input-wacom will.

Additionally, horizontal scrolling won't work for now and the resolution
will be limited to 2000 LPI.

Sincerely,
Nick
