Re: wacdump reacts on special buttons, but no X events are generated

We (linuxwacom project) has never supported these buttons.  It is
possible to add the support by reading button events from the raw
data.  I don't have time to do it.  I kinda remember someone in the
list worked on it before.  But, we didn't receive any patches for it.
