The last line shows that the tablet is still handled by the generic HID
driver. Did you patch and build "usbhid" and "hid" modules? The "hid" module
is changed to list supported KYE tablets as having a specific driver. The
"usbhid" module is changed to add quirks for two of the tablets, including
yours. I think that these modules could only be built as part of a kernel
build, because they require internal symbols.

This is basically why we don't simply supply a kernel module package. This,
however, will hopefully be changed with 3.5 kernel release. Although, this
doesn't help users with older kernels, of course.

Sincerely,
Nick
