Ubuntu 10.04 + Wacom Bamboo + TwinView

how to get your Wacom Bamboo to work in Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" using an NVIDIA "TwinView" setup.

drivers:

at the time of writing lucids kernel is: 2.6.32-23-generic
uname -r

X server version: X.Org X Server 1.7.6
Xorg -version

you'll need this information to get the right versions from
-> The Linux Wacom Project

currently these are 0.8.8-3 for the kernel module
and 0.10.7 for the X driver.

to build the kernel module you need to enable it during configuration
./configure --enable-wacom
make
cp src/2.6.30/wacom.ko /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/usb/input/

UPDATE: on ubuntu lucid this seems to be:  /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/

either modprobe wacom now (and every reboot) or add it to /etc/modules

as for the X input driver, simply
./configure
make
sudo make install

UPDATE: had to use ./configure --prefix=/usr
and install pkg xutils-dev to get it working with the latest kernel (2.6.32-24-generic)

restart X or reboot and your tablet should be recognized like so:
input: Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Pen as /devices/pci.../input/input11
input: Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Finger as /devices/pci.../input/input12

settings:

you can change all sorts of parameters using xsetwacom
to get an idea try: man wacom

I never got xsetwacom to recognize the device string, but it works just
fine with the device IDs.
to find out your devices' IDs use this command:
xsetwacom --verbose --list

should output something like this:
... Found device 'Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Pen' (15).
Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Pen STYLUS    
where the number in brackets (15) is the ID you're looking for.

now for the dualscreen setup all I had to do to adjust it to my likings was:

xsetwacom --set 15 twinview horizontal
which makes the tablet work on 1 screen with full resolution and lets you switch over to the other at the very edge.

that's about it, have phun ;-)

UPDATE: works with device strings like this:
xsetwacom set 'Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Pen' TwinView horizontal

UPDATE: since recent driver/kernel it is:
xsetwacom set 'Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Pen stylus' TwinView horizontal
xsetwacom set 'Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Pen eraser' TwinView horizontal

- EXAMPLE ~/.Xsession file -

## wacom setup
# make Pen stylus + eraser use full resolution per screen:
xsetwacom set 'Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Pen stylus' TwinView horizontal
xsetwacom set 'Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Pen eraser' TwinView horizontal
# soften stylus' pressure sensitivity a bit:
xsetwacom set 'Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Pen stylus' PressCurve 0 15 85 100
# not jumping between screens on the edge tho
xsetwacom set 'Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Pen stylus' mmonitor off
xsetwacom set 'Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Pen eraser' mmonitor off
# turn off touchpad
xsetwacom set 'Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Finger touch' touch off
# map buttons
xsetwacom set 'Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Finger pad' button1 'key ctrl z' # undo
xsetwacom set 'Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Finger pad' button2 'key shift'
xsetwacom set 'Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Finger pad' button3 'key ctrl'
xsetwacom set 'Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Finger pad' button4 'key ctrl shift z' # redo
