Bug Description

Binary package hint: wacom-tools

I can use the Volito in Gnome but Gimp tells me that no advanced input devices are present.
So i can't use the pressure sensitivity feature.

Fixed with this upload:

 wacom-tools (1:0.7.7.7-0ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * Merge with Debian unstable, remaining changes:
      - Bump the epoch because of old Ubuntu packaging.
      debian/control:
       - xserver-xorg-input-wacom: Provides xserver-xorg-input.
       - Change the Maintainer address.
      debian/wacom.postinst:
       - Remove old files.
      debian/xserver-xorg-input-wacom.init.d, debian/rules:
       - Initscript for serial devices.
   * debian/xserver-xorg-input-wacom.init.d:
     - Change the device path to /dev/input/wacom
     - Move the initscript from wacom-tools to the driver, so the driver
       doesn't need to depend on wacom-tools.
   * debian/rules:
     - copy the manpage to the builddir before configuration, otherwise
       the build fails.
     - build with -fno-stack-protector.

Installed this new version and:

/dev/input/tablet-volito
has been mapped correctly.
but the user has no rights for read the device.
corrected with "chmod 777 /dev/input/tablet-volito"
after chmod "wacdump /dev/input/tablet-volito" works right

but Gimp still not recognize device
"No extended device available"

The usb tablet has been inserted while Xorg was still running.
