I've just merged the linuxwacom.sf.net USB tablet drivers into my
XFree86 4.3 tree (http://penguinppc.org/~daniels/README). 4.3.0-0ds3v2
is a *massive* release, and I'm waiting on a few things, including a
flex guru to help me with the build issue, but it might be worth
checking this out once it's released.

If it fails in flex, see #188665. Downgrade to .4a-33, or find me a flex
guru.
