Re: ThinkPad X61 tablet: stylus works under Fedora 24 but not 42

I strongly suspect that this can be made to work with modern X without any programming required, but a lot more internet research.

I think the statement that "serial wacom tablets are no longer supported" may mean that the support has been removed from the X-Windows driver, but there is a different driver that will get it to work (maybe a linux wacom kernel module?)

When I was wandering around, I found more recent reference to "ISD-V4" drivers that may be what you need.

Probably finding a forum with more wacom-driver experts would be useful.  Maybe posting an "issue" in the github would find you somebody helpful.

Since Debian was mentioned, I did a little grepping of my downloaded-debian-archive and I have xserver-xorg-input-wacom version 0.7.9.3-2 for Lenny (Debian5) and version 0.34.0 for stretch (Debian v9).

It's definitely possible to run old Debian X packages on an otherwise-modern Debian install (or one that started old and has been selectively upgraded).  You could poke around http://archive.debian.org/ and grab old versions of the packages.

Or maybe this Thinkpad is too old to be worth all that effort...
