The 'used by' column is how many "things" are using the driver. It says
'0', so there's an additional step there. Once there's something talking
to the driver, that number will increase.

So, if you look at "man aiptek" it will give you details of some stuff
you'll need to add to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Then it should work. I
suspect that's the missing piece of the puzzle here. The aiptek X
drivers appear to ship with Mandrake as well.

Keep a copy of your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file so you've got a way to
get things running again if you break it.

HTH,

James.
