OK, patches have been committed to git to allow touchpad-like input devices to be handled by xf86-input-wacom. If someone wants to add new touchpad's beyond Bamboo Touch then they would need to modify usbWcmInit() to set wcmProtocolLevel to WCM_PROTOCOL_GENERIC for any unknown devices. The same goes to handle "dumb tablets" as well. There is one more change that needs to be made for tablets and that is to modify usbParseKeyEvent(). Look for the BTN_TOUCH case statement and address the TODO somehow (copy&paste logic from BTN_TOOL_PEN case is easy way to address). Nick, I hope this helps you in your goal. There is probably some minor things hiding in wcmDeviceTypeKeys() for dumb tablets as well but I'm hoping the default values just work (maybe that means force tablet_id to zero for non-wacom tablets?).
