My Wacom tablet also works in 2.6.6 but the pen does not track precisely on
the tablet. The pen should not track like a mouse, instead where the end of
the pen is on the tablet it should reflect precisely where it is on the
monitor screen (within proportions of course). This is what I have not been
able to achieve yet.
I did notice that the Linux Wacom Project (http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/)
has now listed kernel 2.6.6 in the work that they are doing. This is good
news and I will post when I've got the tablet working as it should. I've
work to finish first, work before play . . . . drat!
Peace,
Gail
