Setting up Aiptek 12000U Tablet

Okay, I need some help setting up my Aiptek 12000U Tablet on my computer. The input is read, but the monitor is not fully mapped to the pad. Xorg section:

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier "Aiptek"
  Driver "aiptek"
  Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3"
  Option "Type" "cursor"
  Option "Cursor" "stylus"
  Option "Cursor" "eraser"
  Option "Mode" "absolute"
  Option "XTop" "0"
  Option "YTop" "0" 
  Option "XMax" "1280"
  Option "YMax" "960" 
  Option "zMin" "0"
  Option "zMax" "512"
  Option "zThreshold" "0"
  Option "USB" "on"
  Option "KeepShape" "on"
  Option "AlwaysCore" "on"
EndSection

Yeah...my tablet's acting like a mouse and the screen is not consistently mapped to it.

Re: Setting up Aiptek 12000U Tablet

I have solved my aiptek tablet problems for Arch Linux.
1:     I downloaded the latest source from xf86-input-aiptek-1.2.0 from FreeDesktop.org and compiled and installed it.
         (NOTE:: This may not be necessary but it is one of the steps I performed)
2:     I removed all references to the aiptek tablet from the Xorg.conf file.
3:     I created the 10-aiptek.fdi file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy as per instructions from:
                https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AiptekTablet

Someone should create a wikki page for this item so that it is available to all Aiptek Tablet users.
