ITYM "Newer than 1.5". It's still there in 1.5. Anyway, the reason it's gone is it's vanishingly unlikely that any driver designed to work with xfree86 4.3.0 will still build and function correctly anymore. We're not compatible with it, we shouldn't pretend we are. It's a shame linuxwacom isn't being particularly responsive. If you're looking for a new place to host an updated driver, we've got a very friendly git server... - ajax
