instructions for setting up Wacom ArtPad?

[Eric House <fixin@peak.org>]

I've borrowed a Wacom Artpad for use with the Gimp (1.0) on bo.  But
all the searches I've tried for information on configuring my system
to use the tablet have turned up nothing.

Surely there's an article or HOWTO or FAQ on the subject.  Pointers
please!

Thanks,

PS I've ordered hamm, so if upgrading's a requirement that's fine with
me.
