[Linuxwacom-discuss] Serial tablet and linuxwacom in 2016

Hi, 
I have a rather old CT-0405-R wacom PenPartner tablet, once I managed to get
it partially working under windows 7 with some drivers from wacom, then I
switched to Linux Debian Jessie 64 and I searched on how to use it, I found
some old articles detailling on how to proceed and some more recent data
(2010s) that said that legacy serial tablets are not working anymore with
the linuxwacom driver, is it so ? Why ? Is there a way to overcome this
situation ?

I found this guy: https://codelab.wordpress.com/2010/02/21/wacom-hacking/
he apparently made a patch, would I need it, would it have any positive
effect on the situation ?

I also looked at the wiki:
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Serial_Help
and I found that apparently it is possible to get that working by doing all
the configuration and stuff but I would need a X server version prior to
v1.7 which I doubt I have (if you know how to discover my version of the
x.org server, I would be interested too).

Thanks in advance for your time
