Re: Wacom tablet not recognized in Debian 8

When was the last time you ran update-usb-ids?  Perhaps run that script 
as sudo or root and then try connecting that wacom tablet and rebooting.
 Check dmesg for fatals; errors, and warnings.  If nothing shows up then 
check for tablet in dmesg and see if the tablet is now recognized.  You 
could probably run update-pci-ids but I think wacom is a usb device.
