It works with mine on openSUSE 12.2+Tumbleweed. Just had to plug it in.

Don't know about mac
Wacom Tablet not working with GIMP
It is a known bug that GIMP completely fail to detect a tablet that does in fact exist during its startup process (and there is no way to make GIMP re-check its input devices besides closing GIMP and restarting). To check if this is the case with you, try running your pen across the tablet for a second or two before you actually start GIMP (or access your GIMP shortcut via tablet pen).
It may not be the problem, but if this step works then you have a pretty easy workaround at your disposal.

I have a Wacom Bamboo, and I have Gimp from the source repository. So I can confirm it works well in the last version. :-)
There are 2 tricks.
1/ As someone said, you may have to plug your tablet *before* starting Gimp.
But I doubt this is your issue. My bet is:
2/ Go in Edit > Input Devices.
You should see a list of devices showing up in the list for your tablet, ie:
Wacom Bamboo
Wacom Bamboo cursor/erasor/pad/stylus
Go into each one of them. By default, the mode will be "Disabled".
Change it to "Screen".
After you have changed all of them, "Save" and "Close".
Try again. You'll have pressure sensitivity. Enjoy.
:-)

Wacom Tablet not working with GIMP
Is their a way to get the pressure sensitivity of my Wacom Bamboo Capture tablet working with GIMP. Is tablets pressure sensitivity still unavailable to GIMP 2.8.2 Mac OS X?
I tried really hard to get my Wacom Intous4 table connected with GIMP 2.8.10 under MAC OSX 10.9. However it is not recognized by GIMP - (all other programs I used can detect the driver correctly). Also I updated the Wacom driver to the newest version - without any effect.
What confuses me is that it some Forums it's mentioned that XQuartz is necessary to run GIMP and a tablet, in some comments it's confirmed that it's not needed anymore...
Also it's interesting, that some users can use their Wacom Intous3 tablet with GIMP 2.8.... which gives me hope that there is a trick...
Any hint ? Anyone?

Apparently a problem with the mac build or mac environment as I have no problem at all with my Bamboo tablet with gimp 2.8.[6,8,10] on openSUSE KDE Tumbleweed.

Thanks, Partha

Hi Partha, many thanks for your quick answer - I do appreciate! I downloaded the 64 bit version of the Gimp 2.8.10 from your website, deinstalled my old Gimp and started the new version. No changes. Then I restarted my MAC again - no changes again. I always plug in the tablet before I start Gimp with my pen.
I just wonder what we can do to improve this... There is not much on the Wacom Forum as well...
Thanks again for your effort !

Wacom Tablet not working with GIMP
Do you have the Mac drivers installed/loaded btw?
I just tried it and did not have any issues with pressure sensitivity or starting a new painting etc.
Does your mouse pointer not move at all when you move the pen?

Wacom Tablet not working with GIMP

Hi again,
Yes, I installed MacOSX - Driver 6.3.7-3 (10.6x - 10.9x)
I just tried it and did not have any issues with pressure sensitivity or
starting a new painting etc.Does your mouse pointer not move at all when you move the pen?
The pointer or pen do work in such a way that I can draw lines. Also the eraser works, as well as one pen button. However all other functions of the tablet are not supported - because not detected. Like the touch ring, e.g. to manipulate the brush size, or turn the picture, zoom in etc.
Only rudimentary functions are working.
