#extract the drivers to the disk and SHELL you into the directory of it.
#then shell this stuff, to install the drivers:   


sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libhal-dev
sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-input-wacom

sudo apt-get purge wacom-tools xserver-xorg-input-wacom

make clean
make distclean
./configure --enable-wacom --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
sudo cp src/2.6.27/wacom.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/
sudo depmod -a

sudo modprobe -r wacom
sudo modprobe wacom


#now your drivers should have been installed, now you can use this to find out, what kind of model you have:
xsetwacom list

#my device is: Wacom_Bamboo_Pen_4x5_Pen0 Stylus

#this is the configuration tool for linux with gui:
wacomcpl

#if you want to turn your tablet 180 degrees on the desk:
xsetwacom set Wacom_Bamboo_Pen_4x5_Pen0 rotate half

#to set relative mode:
xsetwacom set Wacom_Bamboo_Pen_4x5_Pen0 mode relative

#to set mouse mode:
xsetwacom set Wacom_Bamboo_Pen_4x5_Pen0 mode absolute

##Additional:

#my script to use relative mode:
xsetwacom set Wacom_Bamboo_Pen_4x5_Pen0 rotate half
xsetwacom set Wacom_Bamboo_Pen_4x5_Pen0 speedlevel 7
xsetwacom set Wacom_Bamboo_Pen_4x5_Pen0 mode relative
