if this is not the case with your linux, try building the latest kernel for your system.

“The input-wacom driver is a set of loadable kernel modules which allows new tablets to be used with systems using kernels as old as Linux 2.6.30.

…

we recommend upgrading your kernel if possible and only installing this driver when absolutely necessary.”
