today, I was able to use the new kernel generated along the ways you
outlined. It's a 3.2.16 plus your patches:

The results are, as with the 3.3 kernel:
* Using the tablet with one finger works, although very clumsily. It's
more like trial-and-error to put the pointer somewhere, and tapping
the tablet does not work at all - one has to press the appropriate
button.
* When I put the stylus close to the tablet, the blue LED changes
its colour to white. But otherwise, the stylus has no effect
whatsoever - can't use the mouse, nor press a button.
* None of the more advanced functions of the tablet (pressure
sensitivity, 3D, or multi-touch) work.
I didn't made any effort to specifically configure the X server to work
with this tablet, so those results only reflect what I got out of
auto-detecting the device (ie, plugging it in and see what I get).
That may or may not make any difference... but I'm no expert in this
kind of stuff.
Kind regards,
