  • 2021: "Our drivers are included in most major Linux distributions and provide out-of-the box support for a wide variety of Wacom tablets and component devices." -- it should work out of the box on the new versions of ubuntu. – Ufos Mar 16 '21 at 21:41

First install the following pre-requisites:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential 
sudo apt-get install autoconf

Download and untar input-wacom from here

Move into the directory where your downloaded driver resides and enter the following in the terminal:

if test -x ./autogen.sh; then ./autogen.sh; else ./configure; fi && make && sudo make install || echo "Build Failed"

To get the verion of the kernel module, enter the following into a terminal:

modinfo wacom | grep version

Finally update the kernel driver with the following:

sudo -s 'apt-get update && apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom'

  • Mine stopped work after that. I've tryed to go through the steps to enable the configuration the the ubuntu settings manager (it didn't appeared there). – Diogo Paschoal Jan 12 '19 at 14:16
  • For me, the driver was already installed, but I had to get and compile the latest one for a newer tablet. Also, I had to disable secure boot for the new driver module to load, then it worked well and could be configured via Gnome. – tobias_k Jul 30 '20 at 14:27

    The accepted answer worked for me as well and note that you have to restart your system. Tried on a wacom one medium! – Second Technologies Feb 08 '21 at 20:13
