My digital tablet (see details below) does not work on 9.10.  It worked
without any configuration (nothing added to xorg.conf either) or any
special drivers in 9.04.

Currently, I can move the cursor around the screen, but clicks do not
register.  I cannot draw in the gimp either since it doesn't register
pen clicks.

Since this is a generic tablet, I followed several guides for similar
models.  None of them fixed the problems.

Fixes I've tried:
* Using Wacom driver +  fix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wacom-tools/+bug/392825
* Using Aipteh driver + fdi fix: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AiptekTablet
* No driver (xorg/evdev/xinput) with hal/fdi changes

Again, this tablet worked perfectly in 9.04 without any configuration or
additional software installed.  I just plugged it in and told gimp to
use extended input (tablet).

In gimp now, I see the tablet listed, but it says status: "Device
unavailable: permission denied"

I tried tracking down and chmod the /dev/input/eventX, which fixed the
status.  But it still did not work.

I've even tried on a clean install now, not upgraded 9.04 -> 9.10.

I did get wacom tools to see the pen clicks using wacdump, however, X
and the gimp still did not respond to them.
