I've been happy that my older serial Wacom ArtzII tablet works with
various versions of Ubuntu (tweaking neccesary). So, hopefully somebody
can give me some insight on getting it to work with 10.04 Lucid. Here is
the story:

In Karmic, I had the tablet/stylus/eraser working through a Keyspan
serial->USB adapter, and the following lines in my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
	Driver		"wacom"
	Identifier	"stylus"
	Option		"Device"	"/dev/ttyUSB0"
	Option		"Type"		"stylus"
	Option          "USB"           "on"                  #USB ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Driver		"wacom"
	Identifier	"eraser"
	Option		"Device"	"/dev/ttyUSB0"
	Option		"Type"		"eraser"
	Option          "USB"           "on"                  #USB ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Driver		"wacom"
	Identifier	"cursor"
	Option		"Device"	"/dev/ttyUSB0"
	Option		"Type"		"cursor"
	Option          "USB"           "on"                  #USB ONLY
EndSection

and in the server layout section:

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier	"Default Layout"
	Screen		"Default Screen"
	InputDevice	"Generic Keyboard"
	InputDevice	"Configured Mouse"
	InputDevice     "stylus"	"SendCoreEvents"
	InputDevice     "cursor"	"SendCoreEvents"
	InputDevice     "eraser"	"SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

Since I've upgraded, the new xorg.conf written by the update manager reads, for those sections:
# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used and auto-detects devices
# Keyboard settings are now read from /etc/default/console-setup
#Section "InputDevice"
#	Driver		"wacom"
#	Identifier	"stylus"
#	Option		"Device"	"/dev/ttyUSB0"
#	Option		"Type"		"stylus"
#	Option          "USB"           "on"                  #USB ONLY
#EndSection
(etc)
Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier	"Default Layout"
	Screen		"Default Screen"
# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used and auto-detects devices
# Keyboard settings are now read from /etc/default/console-setup
#	InputDevice	"Generic Keyboard"
# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used and auto-detects devices
# Keyboard settings are now read from /etc/default/console-setup
#	InputDevice	"Configured Mouse"
# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used and auto-detects devices
# Keyboard settings are now read from /etc/default/console-setup
#	InputDevice     "stylus"	"SendCoreEvents"
(etc)

So, I read around, and tried updating 
/usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-wacom.conf
but the format seems different and I'm having no luck. I tried changing 
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
to
MatchDevicePath "/dev/ttyUSB0"
but, no luck.

I've also tried using the old xorg.conf; it didn't help.

FWIW, I can still see the tablet responding through wacdump (why was
wacom-tools removed as a package? grrr.).

Thanks in advance!
