Hi,

here (same specs) it works fine with the driver above *and*
xf86-input-wacom-0.11.0 

Build with "checkinstall" to a package named
"xserver-xorg-input-wacom-custom" (*.deb).

checkinstall asks for package name and things like "provides",
"conflicts", "replaces". The latter options I set to
"xserver-xorg-input-wacom".

Changes in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver        "wacom"
  Identifier    "stylus"
  Option        "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"    # USB ONLY
  Option        "Type"          "stylus"
  Option        "USB"           "on"                  # USB ONLY
  Option	"KeepShape"	"on"          # Monitor is 4:3
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver        "wacom"
  Identifier    "eraser"
  Option        "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"    # USB ONLY
  Option        "Type"          "eraser"
  Option        "USB"           "on"                  # USB ONLY
  Option        "KeepShape"	"on"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Default Layout"
    Screen         "Default Screen" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Generic Keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice	   "stylus"
    InputDevice    "eraser"
EndSection


"xsetwacom" for tuning:

$ xsetwacom list
stylus                                  id: 6   type: STYLUS    
eraser                                  id: 7   type: ERASER   
Wacom BambooPT 2FG 4x5 Pen stylus       id: 13  type: STYLUS    
Wacom BambooPT 2FG 4x5 Pen eraser       id: 19  type: ERASER

Used settings:

$ xsetwacom set 13 Touch off              # I don't use it
$ xsetwacom set 7 Area 2000 28 14133 9128 # centering for monitor 4:3
$ xsetwacom set 6 Area 2000 28 14133 9128
$ xsetwacom set 13 Area 2000 28 14133 9128
$ xsetwacom set 19 Area 2000 28 14133 9128
