I have an old Trust/Aiptek tablet which is correctly identified in dmesg



[ 7.047168] aiptek 1-1:1.0: Aiptek using 400 ms programming speed
[ 7.047230] input: Aiptek as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.3/0000:03:00.0/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/input/input7
[ 7.047335] usbcore: registered new interface driver aiptek


I installed xserver-xorg-input-aiptek and created the configuration file for Xorg



/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-aiptek.conf



Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Aiptek class"
MatchProduct "Aiptek|AIPTEK|aiptek"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "aiptek"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "Mode" "absolute"
Option "zMin" "0"
Option "zMax" "511"
EndSection


Now it works on the login screen (GDM) but it stops working as soon as I login to GNOME (vanilla session, ubuntu 17.10).



Any idea? looks like a permission problem but there's not much to look for online as it's a pretty old device
