[sugar] Fixing the Pen Tablet

I've heard that the tablet is enabled is in recent joyride builds. Is
there a build that has it that would be particularly good to try out?

And how does the tablet mapping work? Does it control the core
pointer, or is it accessed as an XInput device? I'm really interested
in trying this out, as an alternative to reading directly from
/dev/input/event5, as I'm doing now.

Thanks,

Pat
