The thing is that the tablet reports the buttons as keyboard events.
This can only be circumvented by using the vendor defined
usage and usage page, for which the events are reported in a
unified format. To activate this interface, we need to send a
a certain key on a certain endpoint, shown in:
https://github.com/nic3-14159/uclogic-new-init
Still this interface is opaque in that the report descritpor only
shows the length, not what the individual bits do.
Therefore we need to add two more devices, one for the pen and
one for the buttons. The first interface doesn't go away but
doesn't report anything either, since it's reports are translated
into the other two devices. I have called this original device
"VendorDevice".
Once all this is done, native support with the wacom driver
is achieved. Though since the wacom driver doesn't recognize
the IDs yet, we are in need of X config file like:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "xppen wacom all"
MatchUSBID "28bd:0928"
Driver "wacom"
EndSection
That's all.
