This has been tested with an Aiptek HyperPen 12000U. I have no idea if it works with a different tablet.

Installation

You need to install xf86-input-aiptek from the Official Repositories.

Create /etc/udev/rules.d/20-aiptek.rules with the following content:

ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="xorg_aiptek_end"
KERNEL!="event[0-9]*", GOTO="xorg_aiptek_end"

ATTRS{idVendor}=="08ca", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0010", ENV{x11_driver}="aiptek", SYMLINK+="input/aiptektablet"

LABEL="xorg_aiptek_end"

Create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-aiptek.conf with the following content

Section "InputClass"
       Identifier "pen"
       Driver "aiptek"
       Option "Device" "/dev/input/aiptektablet"
       Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
       Option "USB" "on"
       Option "Type" "stylus"
       Option "Mode" "absolute"
       Option "zMin" "0"
       Option "zMax" "511"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
       Identifier "pen"
       Driver "aiptek"
       Option "Device" "/dev/input/aiptektablet"
       Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
       Option "USB" "on"
       Option "Type" "erasor"
       Option "Mode" "absolute"
       Option "zMin" "0"
       Option "zMax" "511"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
       Identifier "pen"
       Driver "aiptek"
       Option "Device" "/dev/input/aiptektablet"
       Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
       Option "USB" "on"
       Option "Type" "cursor"
       Option "Mode" "absolute"
       Option "zMin" "0"
       Option "zMax" "511"
EndSection

Then restart udev and X or your display manager (gdm, kdm, slim, ...)

Gimp

Should work right away. If not, those settings worked for me:

Edit -> Input Devices -> Aiptek

• Mode: Screen
• X: 1
• Y: 2
• Pressure: 3
• X-Tilt, Y-Tilt and Wheel shouldn't matter
