are you already set up to build an olpc kernel?  if so:
    - run "make menuconfig", select
	    Device Drivers
	    Input device support
	    Tablets
     and change the Wacom entry to "<m>"

     save your changes, thne

    - "make modules"

    - copy drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko to the XO, and insmod it.
