Got a Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch - what can I try?

Hi,
I've recently ordered a bamboo fun and got (to my surprise) a bamboo fun
pen&touch.
It's obviously not working with linux.
So I downloaded the wacom-driver source and added the usb-device ID to
the wacom_ids array (it's USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_WACOM, 0xD2)).
Now, when I load the module and plug-in the tablet I get the following

dmesg:
[ 1936.719544] usbcore: registered new interface driver wacom
[ 1936.719547] wacom: v1.49-pc-1:USB Wacom Graphire and Wacom Intuos
tablet driver
[ 1948.688046] usb 8-2: USB disconnect, address 5
[ 1954.384011] usb 8-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and
address 6

E:  Ad=82(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=  64 Ivl=4ms

My linux is kubuntu 9.04 with kernel 2.6.28
the udev rule script provided by kubuntu automatically creates symlinks
to /dev/input/wacom and /dev/input/wacom-touch (if someone cares)
The problem's there is no data flow. I tried xxd /dev/input/event*, xxd
/dev/input/wacom and xxd /dev/input/wacom-touch. It's simply not working.

I'm a c++ programmer but I've got no experience with
kernel/kernel-module development.
Can I do anything to help add support for this device in the driver?

Hi Silvio,
 
Your Bamboo Fun with pen and touch is not supported.  Your first step in adding the ids is correct.  But there are a few other routines in the kernel and X driver you need to update.  Please give me sometime to add the pen support for you.  The touch feature would have to wait until I finish my current project.
 
If you wan to do the touch work yourself, you will need to sign an NDA with Wacom first.
