It's taken me a while to get back to this.

That blog mentions wacom-tools. I can't even install wacom-tools,
because the current version in squeeze (and sid) conflictw with the
current version of xserver-xorg-input-wacom

Seems like a versioning problem in Debian.

It's taken me a while to find the time to get back to this -- but I find
I don't have a /dev/input/wacom on my system, even when I plug in the
bamboo, whether at boot time or later. By the way, it's a USB device, so
I expect things to be a bit dynamic.

And from the tests described in http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/
index.php/howto/main, I suspect the hardware isn't being recognised by
amy driver, let alone the wacom kernel module, even if I modprobe it. Of
course, I can only do that after boot time...

I can't even install the current Debian squeeze package of wacom-tools,
because it conflicts with the current Debian squeeze package for xserver-
xorg-input-wacom. It doesn't help to look at sid; those packages are the
same, so it looks as if waiting a few days for the pipeline to clear
isn't going to remedy the situation.
