Hi Peter,

Thanks, that put me on the right track.  I just had to create

/etc/hal/fdi/policy/90-intellipen-pro.fdi

with the contents

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<deviceinfo version="0.2">

  <device>
    <!-- Intellipen Pro -->
    <match key="usb_device.vendor_id" int="0x188c">
      <match key="usb_device.product_id" int="0x221">
	<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
      </match>
    </match>
  </device>

</deviceinfo>

and 

/etc/modprobe.d/intellipen.conf

with

options usbhid "quirks=0x188c:0x0221:0x0040"

and the device works perfectly.  Where should I submit this
information so that it gets incorporated to future updates so that
others can just plug it in and have it work automatically?

Thanks,

Tamas
