Most end users would probably only need to update the Wacom X driver and the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to use the rich features that Wacom tablets offer. The steps could be as simple as:
download the package then
$ bunzip2 linuxwacom.tar.bz2
$ tar xvf linuxwacom.tar
$ cd linuxwacom/prebuilt
$ su
# ./uninstall
# ./install
# cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
# gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# reboot

However, if you have a USB tablet which is newer than your running kernel, i.e., the tablet is not supported by your running kernel, or you are a developer who is willing to build the driver from the source, there are extra work waiting for you.
==============================================================================
BUILDING FROM TARBALL:
As you would expect, run configure and make. Configure options are explained below.
$ ./configure && make
==============================================================================
CONFIGURE OPTIONS:
This file contains hints for building the sources. There are a number of
build targets, some of which are not built automatically. Here is the
breakdown:
wacom.o: not built by default (--enable-wacom, --disable-wacom)
wacdump: built by default (--enable-wacdump, --disable-wacdump)
hid.o: not built by default (--enable-hid, --disable-hid)
evdev.o: not built by default (--enable-evdev, --disable-evdev for kernel 2.4.x only)
mousedev.o: not built by default (--enable-mousedev, --disable-mousedev. It is used for kernel 2.4.x only)
usbmouse.o: not built by default (--enable-usbmouse, --disable-usbmouse. It is used for kernel 2.4.x only)
input.o: not built by default (--enable-input, --disable-input. It is used for kernel 2.4.x only)
wacom_drv.o: built by default (--enable-wacomdrv, --disable-wacomdrv)
There are many options, and configure will attempt to guess the correct
values for most of them. By default, only wacomcpl, xsetwacom, wacom_drv.o,
xidump, and wacdump program are built.
Please surf the HOWTO page at http://linuxwacom.sf.net/index.php/howto/main to find the proper options if the default building environment doesn't work for you.
