I have a Pentagram O'pen XXL (which should be based on aiptek and there are people out there using it on linux).

I work on debian testing i386, custom kernel 2.6.20.3 and xorg 7.1.1.

I use the default kernel aiptek driver. I think it is working because event count increments with each action on the tablet.

I use debian package xserver-xorg-input-aiptek.

This is my xorg.conf (my first attempt):
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "pen"
Driver "aiptek"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/aiptek"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "Mode" "absolute"
Option "Cursor" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "KeepShape" "on"
Option "debuglevel" "20"
Option "InputFashion" "Tablet"
Option "Name" "Pentagram XXL"
Option "Vendor" "Pentagram (Aiptek driver)"
Option "AlwaysCore" "On"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "cursor"
Driver "aiptek"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/aiptek"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "Mode" "absolute"
Option "Cursor" "puck"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "KeepShape" "on"
Option "debuglevel" "20"
Option "InputFashion" "Tablet"
Option "Name" "Pentagram XXL"
Option "Vendor" "Pentagram (Aiptek driver)"
Option "AlwaysCore" "On"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "eraser"
Driver "aiptek"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/aiptek"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "Mode" "absolute"
Option "Cursor" "eraser"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "KeepShape" "on"
Option "debuglevel" "20"
Option "InputFashion" "Tablet"
Option "Name" "Pentagram XXL"
Option "Vendor" "Pentagram (Aiptek driver)"
Option "AlwaysCore" "On"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen" 0 0
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "pen" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

And the second config file I tried have only diferant ServerLayout section (took from your sample config):

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen" 0 0
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer"
#InputDevice "pen" "SendCoreEvents"
#InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
#InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "pen" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "cursor" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "eraser" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection

Event Filtered Out

I think that the tablet is comunicating with X in some ways, because in console (konsole), when I press button F1 on the tablet (marked "new") the bell starts and I have to press ctrl+c to stop it.

Do you know anything I could do to make it work ?

Thanks.

P.S. it works under WinXP.
