hi chickendude,

depends how got dd working in first place. third generation bamboopt tablets have support in 3.3 kernel. have gotten working in oneiric's 3.0 kernel must have compiled input-wacom. input-wacom supplies updated wacom.ko (the kernel driver/module) i.e. patches backported later kernels. model supported input-wacom in oneiric.

kernel updated? "break" things because contain old non-working wacom.ko, not 1 compiled. have recompile or use dkms setup.

bamboopt how to shows how compile input-wacom (now @ 0.13.0) in part i. , before link ppa installs input-wacom-0.12.1 in dkms package. near top @ various models , how them working.
