Comment 11 for bug 361693

I have had a look at how wacom tablets are supported in Lucid:
seems fdi files have to be translated to udev rules, see this:
https://wiki.kubuntu.org/X/InputConfiguration
and then we are back to a sort of xorg.conf configuration system, through local snippets added in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d

I will try to see if I can work things out.
I was thinking about adding udev rules like this:

ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="xorg_aiptek_end"
KERNEL!="event[0-9]*", GOTO="xorg_aiptek_end"

ATTRS{idVendor}=="08ca", ENV{x11_driver}="aiptek", SYMLINK+="input/aiptektablet"

LABEL="xorg_aiptek_end

and a '10-aiptek.conf' xorg.conf.d snippets more or less like this:

Section "InputClass"
 Identifier "pen"
 MatchProduct "Aiptek|AIPTEK|aiptek"
 MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
 Driver "aiptek"
 Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
 Option "USB" "on"
 Option "Type" "stylus"
 Option "Mode" "absolute"
 Option "zMin" "0"
 Option "zMax" "511"
EndSection

Has anyone already tried this kind of approach?
