Hey Kyōken,

Glad the ppa was helpful.

The code for this driver is in launchpad, bugs are here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/wizardpen

Trunk code:

https://code.launchpad.net/~wizardpen-devs/wizardpen/trunk

If you make some modifications, then please do make a merge request so I
can fix trunk and then redo the ppa packages.

There is a new kernel driver which hotplugs into the wacom user space,
so there is no need for this driver once it's complete. It's based on
the wal code.

It's waiting for programmers.
