Ignore the above, looks like my xserver was reading off /dev/input/mice - the kernel kbtab driver appears to allow the tablet to emulate a mouse, but doesn't really work w/ pressure sensitivity, while using the js_x driver from xorg allows one to use pressure sensitivity, but has the aforementioned button problem. The two are not compatible.
