I found everything I needed to know about getting this done on notro's GitHub rpi-source project ( ). The crux of getting a Wacom tablet working on the pi is compiling and installing the Linux Wacom Project kernel driver for the pi. The software you need comes from the very complete Linux Wacom Tablet project on SourceForge (. The tablet now works really well with TuxPaint on the Pi. Well, I'm pleased to report that I've been able to get the Wacom Bamboo tablet working as a USB HID device on the Pi under Raspbian.
I think these small and inexpensive Wacom tablets are potentially ideal to allow younger children to use the Pi.
#Bamboo wacom driver fine install
I was really hoping to get the tablet working with the wonderful TuxPaint ( - install under Raspbian: sudo apt-get install tuxpaint tuxpaint-data tuxpaint-stamps) program to allow my daughter to draw using the Pi as she's too young to be able to manipulate a mouse. I don't like to see queries on these forums go unanswered, and in common with others here I've been trying to get an old Wacom Bamboo tablet working with my Pi. Once the Wacom is working we can then worry about xsetwacom to configure it correctly.
#Bamboo wacom driver fine drivers
I hope that the current xorg wacom drivers will be just fine if we can just get the wacom.ko driver created. It refuses to create wacom.o which is the necessary precursor to wacom.ko. the configure script reports no ncurses, but that is installed. Creative Enterprise Helping artists and designers push creative boundaries and drive business success.

The configure script needs to be told where the kernel src files are, 'Extract Here' and open the resulting folder with the file manager. Sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.2.0-3-rpi However, the raspi ARM kernel headers are also required. The way to get this is to download the latest version of linux wacom (linuxwacom-0.9.5.tar.bz2) and to compile it. The key driver, wacom.ko, is missing from the drivers folder. As you say, the Wacom Bamboo is detected as a USB device, but is not installed as an HID device.
