Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
Hi there,
I installed xorg-input-aiptek and followed the guide at XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. The pen on my Aiptek tablet works but without clicks or pressure sensitivity. It also moves the cursor only when the pen is actually touching the tablet. On further investigation, there's no aiptektablet created in /udev/input. It seems to be registering as input6. Here's a bunch of other possibly relevant data:
=======
ls /dev/input shows:
by-id by-path event0 event1 event2 event3 event4 event5 event6 mice mouse0 mouse1 mouse2

although it *still* doesn't create the symlink with just:

The input symlink is no longer required after intrepid. According the information above, one can see that the correct driver was attached to your tablet, so it should work as expected. Now, have you followed the part of the guide which instructs you to write a hal .fdi file? It might help if you attach a copy of that file to this bug report.
