[SOLVED] Wacom Intuos 5 Touch

I can't get my Intuos 5 to work, can anyone help please?

I installed the xf86-input-wacom, wacom-drivers and wacom-udev packages then added wacom to MODULES=(microcode wacom) in rc.conf. Rebooted. Typed lsmod and wacom appears on 2 lines -

wacom    38096  0
usbcore  147565 5 wacom,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd,usbhid

Then went through the Wacom Tablet guide on the wiki but when I type 'xsetwacom --list devices' nothing appears.

When I type lsusb I get the following -

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1631:5000 Good Way Technology
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 06a3:0764 Saitek PLC
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 044f:0402 ThrustMaster, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 044f:0404 ThrustMaster, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 045e:0040 Microsoft Corp. Wheel Mouse Optical
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 056a:0027 Wacom Co., Ltd
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

I also made a 10-local.rules file and put it in /etc/udev/rules.d, typed the command 'udevadm control --reload-rules' but when I look in /dev/input wacom is not listed after I unplugged and plugged the usb cable back in again.

I'm out of ideas.

Re: [SOLVED] Wacom Intuos 5 Touch

[SOLVED]

My Intuos 5 now works with  kernel 3.5.3-1-ARCH and I didn't make any other changes other than what I did above.
