Yes, input devices, not peripherals (says "peripheriques" in french)
Yes, i can see axes and keys.
Nothing under Keys, and under axes:
X:1
Y:2
Pressure:3
X Tilt: 4
Y Tilt: 5
Roulette (wheel): ien (nothing)

I find surprising that "nothing" corresponds to the missing functionnality...

I can't see any sketch, but I've tried it your way.
Hard brush, flattened by aspect ratio, and the wheel to control the angle.
No result... Still dead horizontal no matter what.

I can control that the wacom driver reads the wheel value alright in the control panel diagnose area...

I will try to install an ubuntu somewhere to see what it is like under Linux.
