Hi,

I'm currently working on getting the current xf86-input-wacom driver
to support my old Wacom Digitizer II.

 I've looked at the previous approach of dropping wcmSerial.* back in
and hacking around until it works, and I am wondering if it would be
cleaner to move some of the code to the Linux kernel input subsystem
and try to create a clean implementation based on the current wcmISDV4
module (obviously, using the old wcmSerial code as a reference).  Then
detection would be a lot cleaner -- users would use inputattach to
signal that they have a legacy serial tablet on a given serial port
and it would fit in with the current udev and InputClass detection
scheme.

Does this sound like an appropriate way to approach the problem, and
if so, would serial support be accepted back into xf86-input-wacom? I
think it would be a travesty to lose support for these great devices.

Cheers,
