Hi,

I found a thread in the archives that talks about a similar problem: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/xorg@lists.freedesktop.org/msg09731.html

$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices

reports

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=188c Product=0221 Version=1001
N: Name="EPOS EPOS Pen Digitizer."
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.0-2/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb6/6-2/6-2:1.0/input/input41
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse1 event23 
B: PROP=0
B: EV=1b
B: KEY=c01 7001f 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=ff000100000f
B: MSC=10

but I am still unclear on what I should do to solve this.

Best,
