First of all, I just installed MATE 18.04 instead of plain Ubuntu 16.04 and I LOVE MATE. One little problem, I just got a Wacom Bamboo Tablet that I’m wanting to use for drawing/graphic design and for some reason, MATE won’t recognize it at ALL.
I’m actually fairly clueless when it comes to this sort of thing so all the help I can get is greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
same here, i just got a wacom tablet and i’m looking for a way to configure it but it seems mate lacks the panel in the Control Center to configure it.
but it also seems, there are ways to configure it in the command line terminal. but i’m not sure, still looking into this.
responding to this to keep this thread alive.
Hallo
I do not have a Wacom tablet and am not an creative graphics person. That being said, I hope the information below might help someone. The very last post shows that you might have an easier experience using another GNU/Linux distro, however, I would remind you that this does not mean you have to leave Ubuntu-Mate behind - you could dual-boot or run a second distro in a virtual machine...
If you go to the Wacom website and enter "Linux" in the sites own search field it returns only on result, for the Model DTH-1152.
When you read the information presented for this model there is a link to the site:

here you'll find a message that the site has moved to:
