Use the `libwacom-list-devices` tool to list all known devices and verify
the tablet is not in that list.

## To add support for a new tablet to libwacom git:

1. Create a new tablet definition file. See `data/wacom.example` in the source
for a guideline on how to add a new tablet. For an installed version of
libwacom, see the existing data files (e.g.
`/usr/share/libwacom/cintiq-13hd.tablet`)
2. A new tablet description is enabled by adding and installing a new file with
a `.tablet` suffix. Once installed the tablet is part of libwacom's
database, no rebuild is necessary
3. The tablet is then available through `libwacom-list-local-devices`

You must update udev after installing the file, see below.
