I don't think I know how to solve your problem.
Did some googling and found this:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/53442/how-can-i-configure-the-aiptek-t-6000u-graphics-tablet
I have a similar file for my wacom tablet in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.
Both /usr/share/X11 and /etc/X11 are ok to put this in.
/etc/X11 is read after /usr/share/X11 during boot.
Wacom being the market leader probably makes support in Linux better.
Good luck.
Gerard.
