aiptek 6000U tablet

Howdy y'all :) I have an aiptek 6000U tablet which uses the aiptek module from the kernel and is a USB device. When I plugged it in, SuSE wanted to configure it as my mouse. I cancelled out of that and tried to set it up in SaX2. Unfortunately, there's only a serial driver option in that program for aiptek tablets. Also, a /sbin/lsmod showed the hid module as unused, and a 'cat /dev/input/event0' displayed nothing when I tried to use the tablet. Anyone have any suggestions for setting this up? I've gotten it to work back in my redhat days (I used to have to recompile the kernel.) It's seems like SuSE has the proper modules to use it, but I'm just not sure how to get them to load properly. Thanks in Advance, Michael Sacco
