Thank you, Julien, for the hint. A google of NewInputDeviceRequest returned
quite a few error messages related to the call though :). I'll have to
try it before I can say it works or not.  Do you guys feel this (I mean
fixing the Wacom driver) is a clean (or better) way to go?  Can I
still change the settings for individual tools, such as stylus, eraser, etc,
separately?  I guess I would be able to figure it out myself when I use it.
Do you have a link to an example for my case?
