I tried installing the  linuxwacom-0.8.8-6 module and
xf86-input-wacom-0.10.7 driver as advised in the Ubuntu howto.

The tablet somewhat works after that but the gestures are
unpredictable. I can move the cursor just fine (although the motion is
somewhat coarse on a 2480x1600 virtual) but I could not find a
reliable way to get a tap or scroll.

Thanks
