If for any reason you wish to revert to the version of the drivers provided by Ubuntu, you can do so by typing the following command in a terminal: sudo aptitude reinstall xserver-xorg-input-wacom wacom-tools Reverting the driver to the Ubuntu version This usually isn't necessary unless you are using an older kernel which does not support your tablet. Note2: if you also want to install the wacom kernel module, you need to add -enable-wacom to the.
Note: if you have previously installed using the prebuilt drivers, you should clean these up before compiling: cd Desktop/linuxwacom-0.8.8-6/prebuilt If they are, you can try googling for the error text, or asking in the ubuntuforums support thread at You should make sure that "./configure" and "make" aren't returning errors. Note: wacom-tools is not available from 10.04, replace with xserver-xorg-input-wacom instead.
