Whoops, I forgot to add this:
You also have to execute these instructions, before you restart your system:
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/installwacom
And then perhaps test it using these instructions:
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/loadwacom
After all that, and a reboot, you should be able to use your wacom tablet.
And you can set the actions for the buttons with instructions like these:
xsetwacom set pad AbsWUp 4 #scroll up
xsetwacom set pad AbsWDn 5 #scroll down
xsetwacom set pad button3 4 #< key: scroll up
xsetwacom set pad button1 5 #> key: scroll dn
xsetwacom set pad button2 1 #FN1 key: left mouse button
xsetwacom set pad button4 3 #FN2 key: right mouse button
(that's my set up for my Wacom)
