Bug Description

Hello,

wizardpen has the problem that it is not compatible to QT-Applications, like Krita.
wizardpen is not compatible to the QTabletEvent from QT, see here:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qtabletevent.html

See here, too, there is described that it works in ubuntu 9.10 but doesn't work in 10.10: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1597558

9.10 config works with setting device name to "stylus" in 9.10
with that line: <merge key="info.product" type="string">stylus</merge> in hal-config of wizardpen

Now, I'm using the wacom driver for my Genius G-Pen F610 tablet. This work's fine.
But there are other tablets have a need for the wizardpen driver.

How long it does until the much tablet drivers: wizardpen, aiptek, evdev and wacom are going into one driver (a.e. the wacom driver)?
It clould be that X11 could be replaced by Wayland, that you have heared - I think.
I dont't know if this too much of work (making wizardpen working with QT), if X11 will replaced to Wayland or the much tablet drivers going into one.

The ubuntuforums thread (see above) says all about the problem.

Best regard and thanks

Stefan Koch
