fernan, I've used Wacom tablets on older Puppies. It can be a hassle to set up, but you can probably get yours working with your favored OS. Even if a newer Puppy can detect it, it can still be annoyingly complicated to get it to recognise pressure for painting.
I have my Intuos Pen and Touch Small working on Puppy 6.3.2 Slacko. I installed xf86-input-wacom-0.19.0-i486-4.txz (You'd need a different driver for your Puppy.) It automatically picked up the tablet, but acted only as a mouse. And xsetwacom didn't recognise the tablet.
I edited /lib/udev/rules.d/60-wacom.rules to be:
| Code: | # From https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wacom_Tablet
ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="wacom_end"
# Match all wacom tablets with a serial ID starting with WACf or FUJ*
ATTRS{id}=="WACf*" ENV{NAME}="Serial Wacom Tablet", ENV{ID_INPUT}="1", ENV{ID_INPUT_TABLET}="1"
ATTRS{id}=="FUJ*" ENV{NAME}="Serial Wacom Tablet", ENV{ID_INPUT}="1", ENV{ID_INPUT_TABLET}="1"
# LABEL="wacom_end"
KERNEL!="event[0-9]*", GOTO="wacom_end"
# Port specific link for users of multiple tablets of the same type.
# The ID_PATH variable is set by the "path_id" script in an earlier rule file.
ATTRS{idVendor}=="056a", ENV{ID_PATH}=="?*", SYMLINK="input/by-path/$env{ID_PATH}-wacom"
# Multiple interface support for stylus and touch devices.
DRIVERS=="wacom", ATTRS{bInterfaceNumber}=="00", ENV{WACOM_TYPE}="stylus"
DRIVERS=="wacom", ATTRS{bInterfaceNumber}=="01", ENV{WACOM_TYPE}="touch"
# Type-named links for multiple tablets. If you want to use multiple
# tablets of the _same_ type, you will probably need to use the links
# from /dev/input/by-path to identify which is plugged into what usb
# port. For different tablet types though, just pick your links from
# the list below.
#
# We override SYMLINK for tabletpc devices because the by-path link
# is not required with such devices, there will only ever be one.

I'm sure much of it was unnecessary.
Then I pointed the stylus and eraser entries in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /dev/input/wacom. If you want touch capability then you'd do so with it too. (I don't like the touch function. I drives me nuts that bumping it with my hand moves the cursor.)
I can't remember if I created the /dev/input/wacom link to /dev/input/event5 or whether the above wacom rules file made them. There are /dev/input/tablet-intuos-pts-4x6 and /dev/input/wacom-touch links to /dev/input/event5 and /dev/input/event6 respectively that I'm pretty sure the rules file created. I don't understand the rules file well enough to know whether the line I added:
| Code: | | ATTRS{idVendor}=="056a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0302", SYMLINK+="input/tablet-intuos-pts-4x6" |
did that or whether it would have found the name by itself.
Note that "056a" (the Vendor) represents Wacom, and "0302" represents my Intuos PTS device. You can find the code for your device by using the lsusb command in a terminal or by using the information entry in the main Puppy menu, usually under the System sub-menu. The item is usually called HardInfo or Sys-Info or something like that. Look for the section on USB devices. You'll find the code there.
Here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Hmmm... I just now noticed that I have two entries in the Section "ServerLayout" part for InputDevice "stylus" and "eraser", first with option "SendCoreEvents" and then without. I can't remember why, and I'm sure both aren't needed. But it works, so I am reluctant to spend time changing it. 
Note that you should only copy the Wacom related parts to your xorg.config file (the bits in the Section "ServerLayout" and the large part at the end I've marked as Wacom). The other parts will probably mess up your display. Once you've got it working satisfactorily make a copy of the xorg.config (I called my copy "xorg.config.wacom-working") because if you change the display Puppy will make a new xorg.config file without your wacom-related edits. It will back up the file, but you'll have to go through the files to work out which one. Saving it with an informative name makes life easier for you.
I hope this helps and that you have an easier time getting your Wacom tablet working than I did.
I've set up a few different tablets on several of my computers over the years. The old Amiga computer was probably the easiest (that computer was decades ahead of its time). Microsoft Windows was easy, but that's natural as Microsoft has control of the commercial market (hate that OS). Linux has, sadly, been a royal pain in the ass every time trying to get it to even recognise the tablet, let alone use all its capabilities... though it is starting to get easier, thank goodness.
Good luck.

Hi,
my apologize if late posting 
Just bringing up my cent to your posts on pages 25 and 26:
Here at now running a CTF-420 wacom tablet on the latest Tahr64-6.0.6 (it's a Volito2 type one;
fernan's one is a PTH-450 intuos5 serie which type is listed in/var/log/Xorg.0.log if plugged to the PC; restart X if plugged afterwards).
I assume it should run the same way on other recent puppies like Slaco-6.3.2.
On recent puppies, the wacom tablet should work quite OOTB after doing the following (recent Puppies comes with wacom driver embedded):
settings for using a wacom tablet (xorg.conf, udev rules..):
NB: here running a pristine puppy session from a live-cd.
1) udev rules:
here no need to edit the embedded udev rules.
2) xorg.conf settings:
2.1.) the Section "ServerLayout" is edited by ADDING the following just before its "EndSection" line.
| Code: | #from kernel 2.6.35 and later the "SendCoreEvents" after InputDevice is no longer required
InputDevice "stylus"
InputDevice "eraser"
InputDevice "cursor"
InputDevice "pad"
|
After editing, it looks then as:
| Code: | Section "ServerLayout"
# InputDevice "Synaptics Mouse" "AlwaysCore" #serverlayoutsynaptics
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
#from kernel 2.6.35 and later the "SendCoreEvents" after InputDevice is no longer required
InputDevice "stylus"
InputDevice "eraser"
InputDevice "cursor"
InputDevice "pad"
EndSection
|
From having experienced it, no need modifying the other lines. Also, the "SendCoreEvents" string is no longer required for kernels 2.6.35 and later (see linux wacom website documentation).
2.2) Between the next xorg.conf sections:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc102" #xkbmodel0
Option "XkbLayout" "be" #xkeymap0
#Option "XkbVariant" "" #xkbvariant0
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" #mouse0protocol
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
#Option "Emulate3Buttons"
#Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" #scrollwheel
EndSection |
...just add the following:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "stylus"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "GrabDevice" "1"
# Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Mode" "Relative"
# Option "AlwaysCore" "on"
Option "Speed" "1.0"
Option "Threshold" "5"
Option "CursorProx" "5"
# Option "Speed" "5"
# # Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Serial Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "eraser"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "GrabDevice" "1"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "cursor"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY
Option "Mode" "Relative"
Option "GrabDevice" "1"
Option "CursorProx" "5"
Option "Speed" "1.0"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "pad"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY
Option "Type" "pad"
Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY
Option "GrabDevice" "1"
EndSection |
2.3.) save xorg.conf and restart X to activate the new xorg.conf settings.
3.) Now be sure the wacom driver is loaded by doing in a terminal:
| Code: | root# modprobe wacom
root# lsmod | grep wacom
wacom 42600 0
root#
|
4.) check that all wacom tablets features are recognized by doing in a terminal:
| Code: | root# xsetwacom --list devices
stylus id: 8 type: STYLUS
eraser id: 9 type: ERASER
cursor id: 10 type: CURSOR
pad id: 11 type: PAD
root#
|
Now the tablet should run as expected !
HTH,
Charlie

Great post charlie6! Thanks!
I've saved it locally on my computer for reference when I need to get my tablet working with a newer Puppy.

Thanks !! Just tried this, the tablet is working! Using it right now !
Some minor problems with the tablet-screen layout, for sure fixable tweaing some parameters.
It seems that half of my Wacon covers all the screen, and the coordinates are not "absolute" as they were when installed on Mac OSX (I mean, if the cursor is in one side, and I place the pen on the center of the tablet, the cursor stays on that side) So, the 4 angles don't match the screen angles.
Also, the "touch" moves the cursor very slowly, not the same pen speed.
Do you know the parameters to adjust this?
Also, I don't see the pen pressure working on GIMP...

Edited: Figured out one issue: Changed
| Code: |
# Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Mode" "Relative" |
in xorg.cof, activated the Absolute mode.

fernan, that's interesting. That was the problem I was having (no pressure sensitivity) and why I did the things I wrote about in my post above at Wed 12 Oct 2016, 08:38.
Since than I have had a couple of bad computer crashes, so I've gone back to frugal Puppy Lucid 528. I should set the Wacom tablet up again on it, but I haven't got around to it yet. I'll try again soon. What Puppy are you using?

Running tahrpup 6.0.3 updated to 6.0.5
I'll follow your suggestions in the previous posts regarding pressure sensitivity. I thought with a newer puppy the setup would be easier.
Another thing I discovered: If I startup the computer with the wacon connected, my laptop touchpad loose the "2 finger" scroll. If I startup with the tablet disconnected, and connect it after X started, both devices work.

fernan, that's very interesting. Older Puppies that I've used with the Wacom tablet wouldn't recognise the tablet unless I booted with it connected and switched on.

Hi fernan and miriam,
just to mention:
1) xorg.conf stylus sction setting:
i have used 3 different wacom tablet types: Graphire, Volito1 and Volito2;
the folowing options differs according to the tablet type:
| Code: | Option "Threshold" "5"
Option "CursorProx" "5" |
Currently:
for my Volito2, "CursorProx" "5" works the best;
for my Graphire, "CursorProx" "10" works OK;
for my Volito2, "Threshold" "5" works the best;
for my Graphire, i have "Threshold" "42" ;
read across here for more details:
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Wacom_Tablet_Configuration
I'm using mtpaint instead of Gimp, and could get the stylus the pressure sensitivity setting the tablets parameters inside mtpaint (i suspect Gimp to have a similar tablets setting):
In mtpaint, press Ctrl-p to open the settings dialog box, and select TABLET;
there, parametes SIZE, ..., OPACITY checkboxes need being ticked ON;
device is selected to STYLUS
and
mode is selected to SCREEN
I have no touch tablet and am not able to tell anything about that.
For tablets pen displacement versus cursors one on screen. I did not get deeper in fine settings . I believe the linuxwaccom documentation could cover specific needs.
HTH
Charlie

Thanks Charlie. I haven't thought to play around with the threshold settings.

The xorg driver is included with Hungarian version of Precise puppy distro
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=93679&start=75
However, I had to go through the same old ritual of modifying
the xorg.conf file to get it to work.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=956765#956765
Note that the the most up-to-date driver won't compile on older distros.

slacko64-6.9.6.4 |

I was able to get my wacom bamboo tablet to work in
slacko64-6.9.6.4-uefi.iso
I used Charlie6 advice in post above
The xorg.conf needed to be modified as Charlie mentioned.
but I put the rules in /lib/udev/rules.d/ or /etc/udev/rules.d/
Fortunately the tablet device driver wacom.ko was inside the iso.
I have noticed that wacom.ko is not inside some recent distros using the 4.9 kernel. This seems to be a bug.

Hi don570,
hope you'r doing well
In Dpup Stretch 7.5 RC3, I could not even build the missing wacom.ko kernel driver as reported here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=999716#999716
Thanks for any advice !
Best regards
Charlie
