[fixed] Graphics tablet disregarding pressure

Hi there,
I've recently acquired a graphics tablet. It appears to be identical to an Aiptek 12000U. The aiptek drivers work fine with it, other than the fact that I can't use pressure in software like GIMP. Using the xinput program I can clearly see that the tablet is responding to pressure, though.

Here's the relevant xorg.conf block:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "pen"
    Driver "aiptek"
    Option "Type" "Stylus"
    Option "Mode" "absolute"
    Option "Cursor" "Stylus"
    Option "USB" "on"
    Option "KeepShape" "on"
    Option "ZMin" "25"
    Option "ZMax" "511"
EndSection

Anybody know of how to get these programs responding to the tablet's pressure?

EDIT: Never mind. It turns out that GIMP was reading the pressure from a value which was always 0. This can be configured by going to Edit > Preferences > Extended Input Devices > Configure Extended Input Devices and changing which values it reads from.
