Installed 11.3 and I’m having problems with a usb wacom tablet. The tablet is recognised and I can move the cursor around the screen. However, neither the stylus (nor any of the side buttons) work. Anyone had any success with a wacom tablet or can offer any advice?

I’ve got an Intuos4 here on 11.2 - haven’t updated it to 11.3 yet, but
I’ve got a test system I can try this weekend to see how that works.
In the interim, do you have the x11-input-wacom packages installed?
Are there any relevant messages in the Xorg log files indicating the
device is (or is not) being detected?
Is the device serial or USB? If it’s USB, what’s the output of lsusb on
the system?

It seems to be finding the tablet - I can move the cursor around the screen. but it doesn’t respond to and button presses on the stylus. I’ve got nVidia drivers installed btw.
I have all the wacom packages installed - unfortunately the developers decided to leave out wacdump and all those useful progs for debugging…
