I made a bit of a progress on being able to use my graphic tablet on NetBSD. I'm mostly thrashing around, and can't necessarily replicate my results, but I've achieved two milestones:<li>the tablet driver correctly reports its coordinates and the pressure (!),</li><li>the X server can correctly understand the coordinates and the click (not the pressure, it seems).</li>

I am using a hacky workaround, I haven't written any meaningful code except adding extra debugging, and so far only two out of three of my tablets are working. I hope to stick with it, and eventually produce a PR with a driver and a few patches to the upstream.
