There should already be a driver for them as there's a driver for
wacom tablets already included in Fedora, which the OS for the XO is
based upon. In terms of changes to that you'll need to work with the
upstream Fedora team to ensure changes to that go upstream first. I
believe Peter Hutterer is doing quite a bit of work on the wacom
drivers upstream at xorg at the moment so it might be worthwhile
aligning with him to minimise duplication and ensure that its easy to
get your work into future XO releases.
