I'm not sure if that would harm xf86-input-wacom or not, though.
not really, it's the configuration that hooks onto some waltop tablets and that can be changed easily in the distributions. I think it's great that you've done this first step - thanks! > Still, I would like to make the Waltop tablets supported by xf86-input-wacom > too.
