Comment 3 for bug 188502

Ok. As per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4965973 there is a fix for Hardy.

First, the Intuos3 works out of the box for me. The strip works, the express buttons work flawlessly as buttons detected under xev.

That said, expresskeys adds very helpful attaching of the buttons to key presses and as such, are easily modifiable via xmodmap.

A one line change of src-expresskeys/get_device.c on line 462:

if (xdevice_list[i].use == IsXExtensionDevice) {

changes to:

if (xdevice_list[i].use == IsXExtensionDevice ||
xdevice_list[i].use == IsXExtensionPointer) {

I have created a branch and a project for this package with the patch applied. Someone out there with Debian-fu should be able to branch and create the proper bits to make it a PPA compatible series. Once we get this up, we will have an auto-compiled package available.
