I agree, the evdev driver will handle the device but likely not in the manner desired. It'll simply export all buttons and axes but on a single device. The wacom X driver will split into multiple X devices so that the stylus is exported as a different device than the wheel + buttons (that's how wacom does it, anyway). Note that some tweaks to the wacom driver are likely needed, Xing, please contact me off-list to get this started.
