[Gimp-user] Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch greyed out

[Daeaye <forums gimpusers com>]

I just installed my wacom bamboo pen and touch CTH-470, and, like many people, pen pressure sensitivity isn't 
working. I installed the driver for the tablet and it's all ready to go, but when I go to Gimp 2.8 and try to 
configure the tablet in the "input devices" section, I see "core pointer" in black, and then "Tablet 
Port:HID, Dim 5500x4000..." and it goes on. Now, I'm quite certain that that is my tablet, but I'm seeing 
people say they have the bamboo pen and bamboo eraser present but greyed out.

I'm panicking a little, can anyone help?
