At least they look very much like the ones in the original Waltop driver
package.

The original Waltop driver didn't support any frame controls.
I'm putting them on evdev, because it's simpler and works well enough.

I would very much like to have a single class for generic tablets instead.
They're all very similar and the evdev interface is capable of providing all
the required information about them. It does that for all the tablets
handled by hid-waltop, hid-uclogic and hid-kye drivers, at least.

I've been attempting to implement this maybe twice in the past, but didn't
have time or dedication to finish it.

Sincerely,
Nick
