Working with Gimp, I use a Wacom Graphire USB tablet. After moving to Xorg7, it did not work anymore. Reason is that the xf86-input-wacom module is missing in the xorg7 distro. Here is how I got it working again.
1. I have downloaded the latest stable 0.7.2 linux wacom driver from the Linux Wacom Project (http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/). After unpacking, I copied wacom_drv.so from ~/linuxwacom-0.7.2/prebuilt to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input. In the kernel26 distro, there is already a wacom.ko module, so no need to compile that from the Linux Wacom Project.
2. I have built the utillities for wacom and used the compiled wacdump utility to find out to which /dev/input/event# my tablet was connected to. To do that, run
wacdump /dev/input/event{0|1|2|3|...}
until it shows Graphire etc. and dumps raw data from the tablet). On my machine, it appeared to be /dev/input/event3.
3. In the xorg7 configuration file, I added the configuration for cursor, pen and eraser.
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "cursor"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Vendor" "WACOM"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Vendor" "WACOM"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "eraser"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Vendor" "WACOM"
EndSection
Maybe xf86-input-wacom can be included in the future?

Thank for this post tpb using the prebuilt wacom_drv.so from the wacom project worked for me also. The pointer was much appreicated.
