This is the wrong list to discuss to much since it has nothing to do
with xf86-input-wacom or wacom specific kernel drivers.  You probably
want a combo of linux-input and tslib mailing lists.

But I can give some initial help.  All eGalax hardware I've seen that
use the hid-core driver require a quirk to be added so the X/Y do not
get mis-mapped like your seeing.

Edit the file drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-quirks.c, look for the line that
has EGALAX product ID and change it to your EGALAX's product ID.  This
will cause 2 input devices to be used; one useless and the other
working correctly.

This sounds like a newer device and may have multitouch support.  I
think Benjamin Tissoires may have an out-of-tree hid-multitouch driver
that works with older kernels... At least for kernel versions in use
by Android.
