You should have three section of device in xorg, and xorg will take automatically one as mouse, one as tablet (weird, but working magic). Could you write later to this list about results :) Yeah, so after updating [1] to the latest xf86-input-mouse (1.8.1), the tablet seems to work. The caveat is that I haven't found a way to detach ums(4) from the device without recompiling the kernel with ums excluded. A workaround is to use sysutils/uhidd which will emulate an uhid(4) device from a given ugen(4) device, so pointing the patched mouse driver to that emulation seems to work. The few minor problems (compared to Linux) are: no proximity events, no relative mode support, and too many events (i.e. the driver produces input events even if pointer's coordinates did not change). Finally, mav@ replied pointing to his original post at [2].

That is good news then; do you have pressure sensitivity working in programs like gimp? I did mail mav@ (avg@ suggested this too), but got no response so far. There are however his patches at people.freebsd.org that look useful. Is [1] the one you're using? I shall look into it. From the first glance the patch seems to assume a uhid(4) device though; does ums(4) not grab your tablet before uhid(4)?
