Now I even tested the linuxwacom/src/2.6.30 driver on a fresh
linux-2.6.38 from kernel.org. I had to do a few minor modifications to
the driver source (ioctl has been renamed to unlocked_ioctl in
usb_device and input->abs is missing) but it works perfectly!
Apparently the driver did not diverge too much from the current
kernel.

Yeah, the bug report says that usbfs (i.e. mounted on /proc/bus/usb)
causes problems with Ubuntu and therefore had to be disabled. The
device nodes in /dev/bus/usb (i.e. "without" usbfs) provide access to
the raw USB devices in the same way as /proc/bus/usb did.

Maybe the usbfs provided some additional information about the usb raw
devices. This information I get now from sysfs.

Cheers,
