Hi, I desperately need suggestions about how to make my aiptek tablet work.
I successfully emerged xorg 7.0-r1 with USE flag: INPUT_DEVICES="aiptek
evdev keyboard mouse synaptics" (x11-drivers/xf86-input-aiptek and
xf86-input-evdev version 1.0.0.5), compiled the standard aiptek driver
in the kernel source (the heavily patched 2.6.16-beyond3), configured
xorg.conf, crossed my fingers and plugged in my roaring aiptek 12000UI
tablet...
...KABOOOM....
no absolute pointing and no pressure levels!!!
So I checked the aiptektablet project at sourceforge (CVS version, not
the old unified_package), managed to compile the gaipetk software but
didn't succeded in building the x_server_driver nor the kernel_module.
Well, the kernel module compiled fine but when i plug-in the usb tablet
dmesg says.

..so I switched back to the standard kernel driver, dowloaded a
precompiled version of the x_server driver (the sourceforge one!) and
put it in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/ .
Now I have pressure levels and absolute pointing but the tablet doesn't
work fine. For example the gaiptek software says there is no X driver
associated with the tablet ( o.O ) and when I try to configure the pen
in gimp (2.2) than the mouse stops working and the programs crashes few
seconds later.
How can I solve?
Why does the x_driver gives me tons of errors if I try to compile it?
(I've no programmig skills)
Maybe somebody has a secret receipt to make this tablet work?
Any suggestion will be **really** appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.
