Motivation: =46irst, as wacom dominates the market, most configuration frontends ar= e for=20 wacom, desktop integration only exists for wacom, and most application=20 developers only test with wacom tablets. Second, the xf86-input-aiptek driver seems to be unmaintained, at least= =20 opensuse has dropped it from distribution, and xf86-input-evdev is no=20 sufficient replacement. So for me there are two possibilities, either replicating all the work = done=20 for the wacom driver in the xorg stack and above, or just making the th= e=20 aiptek driver mimic the output of the wacom kernel driver - I have take= n the=20 second option. Currently, I am cleaning up my changes, and I am investigating some bug= s in=20 the original driver parsing the reports from the device. I have tested my Aiptek 6000U with the xf86-input-wacom driver, and it = is=20 working fine in Krita, Inkscape and The Gimp, configuring the tablet vi= a kcm_wacomtablet (KDE configuration module). If anyone is interested, I will send my patches to this list after the=20 cleanup.
