--- Comment #4 from Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer at who-t.net> ---
using libevdev instead of straight uinput ioctls would've helped with that in
gfxtablet, it handles that case transparently (albeit with a potential race
condition in old clients). and yes, libinput will not work with those tablets. 

We have, over the last years, added infrastructure to fix those tablets in
userspace where the kernel drivers or firmware cannot be fixed. But we're not
talking about physical hardware here that got released once and now has to
work. This is a software package, expecting it to use an interface that's now 2
years old is not too much to ask (kernel 4.5 and later).
