you'll need a linux driver. just good "wacom linux driver" and you'll get a link to the opensource driver.

Im found solution of my problem (run terminal ctrl+alt+T) and write:

cd Desktop

git clone git://linuxwacom.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/linuxwacom/input-wacom

If you see not git installed in You system please run command displays under You try use git clone...command(bellow)

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install build-essential libx11-dev libxi-dev x11proto-input-dev xserver-xorg-dev libxrandr-dev libncurses5-dev autoconf libtool

sudo apt-get upgrade

uname -r

(If you have the generic kernel which most do.)
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic

(If you have the rt or pae kernel.)
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-rt
or
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic-pae

cd input-wacom

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr

(If you are in Lucid or Maverick.)
sudo cp ./2.6.30/wacom.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko
or
(If you are in Natty or Oneiric.)
sudo cp ./2.6.38/wacom.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko

sudo depmod -a

You now need to restart.

After rebooting if not working check if the wacom.ko is auto-loading with lsmod.
Code:

lsmod | grep wacom

In polish version system replace Desktop via Pulpit :-)

Tablet work correct...
