Excuse me ,but I would be grateful if you could explain this  better.
Don't trust me ,but I feel nothing wrong with your dmesg if you have a
2.4 kernel.

 Maybe you know there is already a bad wacom kernel module installed (it
needs to be for a new to work), in this case, I suppose you know you
have first to remove the old driver with rmmod over wacom (without .o ).
If you then make insmod wacom ,you install the default (old) driver ,if
you make insmod ./wacom.o into src... you force the new to load.

  When the new driver work (you see that with wacdump)you could locate
the old wacom.o driver and replace with the new.

  Please ,tell me if you already knew and I'm not helping you.If you
read carefully the documentation ,which is very complete,you should
resolve 90% of the problems.
