I need a little help trying to install a Wacom Intuos tablet, model number CTL-480/S. My installation of Ubuntu 13.04, 64bit, doesn't seem to be able to detect the device. I've tried an few different USB ports on my machine and get the same result.

I believe there is an issue because when I open the System Settings app from the launcher and browse to the Wacom Tablet section under hardware, it reports that there is 'No table detected'.

When I use lsusb I can see the device is detected:

Bus 003 Device 004: ID 056a:030e Wacom Co., Ltd

I've also pulled the following from the syslog:

Oct 16 16:51:05 earth kernel: [ 7062.388031] usb 3-5: new full-speed USB device number 4 using ohci_hcd

Oct 16 16:51:05 earth mtp-probe: bus: 3, device: 4 was not an MTP device

I'd really appreciate any suggestions to help debug and install this device.
