[ltp] Problem with tablet x200 under ubuntu 9.04 (fresh install)

[Hal Daume III]

Hi all --

I was really excited when I saw everyone posting that their x200 tablet 
worked out of the box with ubuntu 9.04. Sadly, that's not happening for 
me! It's not happening in live mode, and it's not happening in installed 
mode.

I've done a bunch of investigating, but nothing seems to work.

1) I tried editing xorg.conf as per 8.10. This just causes the machine 
to hang on boot.

2) If I 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices', there's nothing listed that looks 
like the wacom serial table.

3) If I run 'hal-device', there's nothing there that looks like the tablet.

4) 'xinput --list' doesn't show up anything.

5) hal-find-by-property can't find anything with wacom.

Basically, it looks like as far as the machine is concerned, there's no 
tablet hardware. If I look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, there's nothing about 
wacom either.

And yes, if I boot into windows, it works fine: it's not that the 
machine is broken.

Everything else on the thinkpad x200 works fine, except for this. Please 
please help!!!

p.s., I've posted this question to ubuntuforums.org, too, but haven't 
heard back.  The link is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1297388
