 *       [*]   Tablets  --->
 *         <*>   Wacom Intuos/Graphire tablet support (USB)


while the kernel option is actually:                                                                                                         │  
 * CONFIG_HID_WACOM:
 * 
 * Say Y here if you want to use the USB or BT version of the Wacom Intuos
 * or Graphire tablet.
 *

 * module will be called wacom.
