UPDATE New version is currently underway. I so far have better tablet detection, the new features of xsetwacom implemented, Intuos4 OLEDs working with both images, text and animations and application profiles that automatically switch the button configuration. Please hang in there everyone, I know the current version up here sucks and this overhaul is long overdue. Check back in a month or two.
THIS DOES NOT WORK WITH UBUNTU 11.04
I will fix the compatibility issues when I have the time to do so.
You can now easily configure a wacom tablet on linux!
This utility allows you to:
- Automatically detect and configure a wide range of wacom products
- Set custom key commands or mouse buttons to a tablet's shortcut buttons
- Set custom pressure curve on each of the tablet's input devices
- Automatically remembers and reapplies settings on startup
- At present, serial and bluetooth tablets are not yet supported. If it doesn't work for you, submit a comment on here so I can fix it.
- More features coming!

Is there a way to tweak the mapping of the tablet like in the kcm-tablet?

got same problem on 10.10.
It seems like it's caused due to sythax changes in xsetwacom:
see:
----------------------------------------
xsetwacom --set "Wacom Intuos3 6x11 pad" "Button3" "Button3"
Paramater 'Button3' is no longer in use. It was replaced with 'Button'

It is CTH-661 model.
I've compiled your software from AUR (on Archlinux), but changing compiling commands, so I don't know, if it's just me or Control Panel is't supporting my device yet :P
And btw... sorry for my English :D

I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 x32, have installed input-wacom-0.11.0 , Xf86-input-wacom 0.10.11 and wacom-utility 1.21-1 but I don't get any configuration options in your tool, although it recognizes the tablet.

I never got the application to "see" my Bamboo Pen (CTL-460) under Ubuntu 9.10, even if I could get the device to work.
Recently I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and the device works out of the box. The application sees the device as a Bamboo Fun 2FG 4x5 (same model, I guess, right picture anyway). It will let me use the "Test drawing area" but for each input device the "device mode", "device tilt" and "device pressure" optiones are disabled (except for the finger pad, of course).
If I remember correctly this device has "pressure" (I got it to work in Gimp but I found it not to be sensitive enogh)...
Is this the intended behaviour?. Should I be able to modify the pressure curve?.
I can post as much information as you need.
Thanks for your time making this application.

The input devices are displayed:
Wacom Intuos4 4x6 stylus
Wacom Intuos4 4x6 eraser
Wacom Intuos4 4x6 cursor
Wacom Intuos4 4x6 pad
In section "Wacom Intuos4 4x6 pad" the buttons display an error message as follows:
Cannot find device 'Wacom Intuos4 4x6 pad'
It is not possible to assign new keys.
Would be nice to solve the problem because i want to use it in blender for 3D graphic. It works, but i have to assign the keys to the pad as well.
In blender you use the numpad numbers very often to chance the perspectives. It is elementary important. Therefore this question: How can i assign numpad numbers (etc. numpad-1, numpad-2 etc.) to the pad buttons of intuos4?
Many thanks in advanced, i like your gui.
Greatings...
