A generic tablet with no buttons and a generic stylus.

The active area size is 6.4x4 inches according to the manufacturer's manual, which is 162.56x101.6mm. I'm unsure whether decimal sizes are supported, so I've rounded them to the closest integers.

Currently, the device is not recognized by libinput due to the device reporting an incorrect HID descriptor. I've also created a PR to systemd to override the incorrect values in the hwdb to make it usable. The PR contains the details about the issue if it is of interest. Combining the two, the tablet is functional in my environment.

Hi, there. I'm a bot and have been asked to have a look at this.

Please run the sysinfo script from https://github.com/linuxwacom/wacom-hid-descriptors and
file a new issue in that repo with the resulting sysinfo tarball. The README in that repo
has more information and instructions.

The .tablet files in this PR should then link to the sysinfo in this form:

# sysinfo.abCdE1234.tar.gz
# https://github.com/linuxwacom/wacom-hid-descriptors/issues/1234

A git grep sysinfo will show how this is currently used in existing data files.

fwiw, they're not and afaik nothing really reads this property anyway. And if we ever need sub-mm precision for describing how bit the tablet is we've taking a wrong turn somewhere :)
