ok, I'm running linux 2.4.2, and it appears to work fine.
Congrats !
However, /dev/input/event0 appears to only provide half of the data.
All I get is pressure and tilt values, as well as button events. I'm
totally missing positional information. I guess that's what the other
(logical) devices are for (/dev/input/mouse0, /dev/input/mice)

that looks like a good start, but it is still unclear where I need to put these
things.
For my specific case (wacom stylus/eraser/cursor over usb), what do I need to do,
to read events from all three device descriptors (/dev/input/[event0, mouse0, mice]) ?
