See the Wacom guide for Ubuntu at 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom and the thread on the forums at 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=967147 .

Basically, you can either revert to using the xorg.conf method, or tweak 
the Wacom .fdi file to add you preferences. You can also just use 
xsetwacom, which is a command line that passes preferences to the wacom 
driver.
