Seems like that as of currently for a nice chunk of Xorg is like that
:/

My only reason for using it over XF86, is that XF86 integrated the
acecad driver with the mouse driver, in a massive show of stupidity.
The end result is that it is no longer possible of using it as a
tablet.

Not sure what is happening on this area, since the Xorg docs are
sketchy. Some make it sound like this is true Xorg too and I should
not have this input module aviable.
