I use

xsetwacom --list devices

to list my Wacom tablet devices, it works for me. (Cfr. also this blog post of mine about how I set up my Wacom tablet in Ubuntu).

  • What does sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom return if you type it in a terminal? If it says you can install, install the package, log out and log in again and then try again.

  • The following packages have unmet dependencies: xserver-xorg-input-wacom : Depends: xorg-input-abi-20 Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.14.99.902) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  • You'll probably have to fix this before looking further into your Wacom problem. Maybe have a look at how to fix the "held broken packages" issue, eg. How to fix broken packages... (which is for 12.10 but the commands are still the same)

  • Bart - The error is same even after following the instructions on fixing broken packages.
