Got problems with installing my wacom bamboo

Hello! I did what the wiki told me and installed the driver from the AUR. I took linuxwacom-dev because linuxwacom didn't work.
Then I edited the xorg.conf and did "cat /proc/bus/input/devices"

If you follow the guide in the Wiki it should work.

Re: Got problems with installing my wacom bamboo

And if you start to have problems when, let's say, you upgrade the kernel or xorg related stuff, make sure you reinstall linuxwacom-dev as well. It saves a lot of headaches.
