Wacom BAMBOO tablet not working after today's update

I upgraded to

[2009-04-13 20:47] Upgraded xf86-input-evdev successfully (2.1.2-1 -> 2.2.1-1)
[2009-04-13 20:47] Upgraded xf86-input-keyboard successfully (1.3.2-1 -> 1.3.2-2)

[2009-04-13 20:47] Upgraded xf86-video-intel successfully (2.4.3-1 -> 2.6.3-3)
[2009-04-13 20:47] Upgraded xf86-video-vesa successfully (2.1.0-1 -> 2.2.0-1)
[2009-04-13 20:47] Upgraded xf86-video-vmware successfully (10.16.5-1 -> 10.16.5-2)
[2009-04-13 20:47] Upgraded xorg-server-utils successfully (7.4-3 -> 7.4-4)
[2009-04-13 20:47] Upgraded xorg-server successfully (1.5.3-5 -> 1.6.0-3)
[2009-04-13 20:47] Upgraded xorg-utils successfully (7.4-2 -> 7.4-3)

among other things ...

After that my wacom does not work anymore.

Does anyone else have the same problem and more importantly is there any solution or do I have to downgrade ?

There's a thread on this. See: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=68879. You probably should downgrade, if you can (a solution hasn't been found yet, at least not one that's been posted to the thread. I haven't done more Googling for one, yet).

You need linuxwacom 0.8.3 dev drivers from the AUR if you're not using them already, no support for 2.6.29 or xserver 1.6 yet in stable.  I just bought a bamboo over the weekend and installed it after updating, working fine for me.

There's a new xserver in the updates; I'm installing it now and I hope it fixes things. I was having an even worse problem where X wouldn't load, at all, but it would only happen at random (sometimes it'd load, sometimes it wouldn't). So the tablet issues aren't the strangest.

[edit] Updated, and it didn't help me in the least. My computer itself is a tablet, so maybe someone using a USB tablet would experience different results. [/edit]
