I am using 3.12-0.towo-siduction-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 8 10:46:58 UTC 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and wanted to install the wacom ctl-480 tablet. It did not work with standard driver. It turned out to be quite easy.
Step 1) go to this http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/linuxwacom/index.php?title=Downloads (http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/linuxwacom/index.php?title=Downloads) and download the file input-wacom. I used git. If git is not installed on your system then apt-get install git.
Please note that the KDE Wacom Tablet Utility is not working as the utility does not yet have this model in its database.
Step 2) cd linuxwacom-input-wacom
Step 3) download these two patches into the linuxwacom-input-directory http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/attachment.php?list_name=linuxwacom-discuss&message_id=CANRwn3Q5s_6jM3n7CBwuPfzmLJs5W89rPdkXYfN2kBRYL%3DkueA%40mail.gmail.com&counter=1 (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/attachment.php?list_name=linuxwacom-discuss&message_id=CANRwn3Q5s_6jM3n7CBwuPfzmLJs5W89rPdkXYfN2kBRYL%3DkueA%40mail.gmail.com&counter=1)

Step 4) This page http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/linuxwacom/index.php?title=Input-wacom (http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/linuxwacom/index.php?title=Input-wacom) describes how to build the driver and copy it to the correct location on your system. On completion of the build it will provide instruction on your terminal. I built using the autogen option.
I just plugged it in and it worked.
Step 5) Finally, you'll need to have the module loaded by the kernel so that it can be used by the rest of the system. The easiest way to do this is to simply reboot; the kernel will automatically load the newly-installed module when necessary. Alternatively, you can use the commands modprobe -r wacom and insmod /path/to/wacom.ko to force the running kernel to reload the module without rebooting.
Thanks for making wacom easier for other users.
