OK, small update. I tested 2.6.8 kernels with versions of the wacom driver
from 0.6.6 to 0.7.4. Up to 0.7.2, the events of the tablet are correctly
sent through the /dev/input/event* entry.
It was not the case with the 2.6.8 kernel - 0.7.4-2 combination.
Thus I took a look at the diff and throw in a guess :
The function wacom_graphire_irq adds in the 0.7.4-2 version the following
line :
if (data[0] == 99) return; /* for Volito tablets */
Huh, so the function does not take into account volito events ? It makes
sense if the function only takes into account graphire tablets (hence its
name), but I have the feeling that it actually deals with tablets that work
the same way as graphire tablet.
Maybe this line was added to handle volito2 tablets, and this prevents
volito1 tablets (such as mine) to send events ?
Thus now apparently, I depend on the time of the wacom driver developers to
bring me an answer... Maybe I will try to understand how the driver works,
correct the problem myself and propose a patch, but I don't know when it
will happen.
Anyway, I hope my further tests help pinpoint where the problem might lie :
in the transition from 0.7.2 to 0.7.4.
