This should be the X11 driver, which is included in the
xorg-x11-driver-input package on OpenSUSE11.3

[jan janskiste ~]$ rpm -ql xorg-x11-driver-input|grep aiptek
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/aiptek_drv.la
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/aiptek_drv.so
/usr/share/man/man4/aiptek.4.gz
[jan janskiste ~]$

So this is installed.

I saw it, but I don't get it to compile on my distribution. That's not
too hard to tackle for me, but as I don't need the GUI anyway, I'm just
asking about a CLI program with less tedious dependencies.

No tool of that name, sorry. The xsetwacom program is there, but it
doesn't seem to recognize my tablet. Bummer!

Maybe the generic xinput could help?
