## Fixed drivers for Wacom Bamboo, Graphire, Intuos 1, 2, 3, and Cintiq 1st gen tablets on macOS Catalina / Big Sur



Wacom's drivers for Bamboo, Graphire, Intuos 1, 2 & 3 and Cintiq 1st gen tablets have bugs in them that

make them no longer work on macOS 10.15 Catalina or macOS 11 Big Sur, and Wacom is no longer updating these drivers. 

Luckily I was able to fix the bugs and get the drivers working again!

## Install the fixed driver



First, download the correct driver for your tablet:



- [Fixed driver v6.1.6-4 for Graphire 1 & 2 and Intuos 1 & 2](https://github.com/thenickdude/wacom-driver-fix/releases/download/patch-10/Install-Wacom-Tablet-6.1.6-4-patched.pkg)

- [Fixed driver v5.2.6-5 for Graphire 3](https://github.com/thenickdude/wacom-driver-fix/releases/download/patch-10/Install-Wacom-Tablet-5.2.6-5-patched.pkg)

- [Fixed driver v5.3.0-3 for Graphire 4](https://github.com/thenickdude/wacom-driver-fix/releases/download/patch-10/Install-Wacom-Tablet-5.3.0-3-patched.pkg)

- [Fixed driver v5.3.7-6 for Bamboo](https://github.com/thenickdude/wacom-driver-fix/releases/download/patch-10/Install-Wacom-Tablet-5.3.7-6-patched.pkg)

- [Fixed driver v6.3.15-3 for Intuos 3 and Cintiq](https://github.com/thenickdude/wacom-driver-fix/releases/download/patch-10/Install-Wacom-Tablet-6.3.15-3-patched.pkg)



Run the installer to install the driver.



Now we need to remove the permissions that were leftover from the old driver: 



- Click the Apple menu, then System Preferences, Security and Privacy

- On the Privacy tab, select Accessibility and click the lock in the bottom left to make changes. You'll be asked to enter your login credentials.

- Select any Wacom items in the list (PenTabletDriver, ConsumerTouchDriver, WacomTabletSpringboard, etc) and click the "-" button to remove them.

- Do the same on the "Input Monitoring" page 

- Restart the computer

Now we can add permissions for the new fixed driver:



- Touch the pen tip to the tablet once

- Click the Apple menu, then System Preferences, Security and Privacy

- On the Privacy tab, select Accessibility and click the lock in the bottom left to make changes. You'll be asked to enter your login credentials.

- Make sure any Wacom items in the list (PenTabletDriver, ConsumerTouchDriver, WacomTabletSpringboard, etc) are ticked

- Do the same on the "Input Monitoring" page 



![Add new permissions](screenshots/en-AU/security-and-privacy-tick.jpg)



Your tablet should now be working! You may need to restart the computer one more time.
