debian wacom tablet not being recognized

[blubee]

I think I borked my wacom xorg configuration. I recently updated to nvidia drivers so that it would disable flipping which causes screen tearing if recording the screen and it overwrote my default xorg configuration to this:

How can I update my xorg to enable my wacom to what is shown in the xsetwacom --list.

Anyone can help me figure out what's going on?

there's no one around who has any experience with wacom tablets on debian?

Sorry, I honestly do not know, my graphics tablet is a different kind and I have never had any problems, also "nvidia drivers" is not a factor on my computer.
How ever I did do this, I put the question into startpage, that is a search engine,..

I have not looked thru all of the many results, so I do not know if any will help you.
But that is something you can do, in the meantime while waiting for a answer, you
might even find something, there seem to be a lot of results.
There are some topics on the forum invloving Wacom tablets:

I do not know if any are similar to your problem, again that is something you can do, browse through them, there might be something.

After a whole lot of testing I found out that it's the kernel versions.

Originally i had the stock kernel installed but my mouse, logitech mx master constantly disconnects after any inactivity. Updating to kernel
linux-image-4.3.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 linux-headers-4.3.0-0.bpo.1-amd64

the mouse works but now the wacom tablet settings are gone. The tablet still works as a basic mouse but none of the controls are there.

Is there any info on these kernels causing issues with wacom tablets?
