mint does include extra drivers, one of the reasons i picked it. i didn't install them
so they must have been there already, the terminal command was issued before i installed
the package from the repos.
i need to get this program http://aiptektablet.sourceforge.net/gaiptek.html but the link
to it is for i386 architecture, and i know theres a way of making 32bit stuff work in
64bit using a wrapper of some kind but i've never had to do it, so dont understand the
process at all

Looks like you've already added the aiptek module. Not so confusing? Or
is Linux Mint including more modules than Ubuntu now?
Obviously if you're plugging in the device without restarting, you'll
need to investigate the udev rules, but you'll also need the xorg driver
as you mentioned. It's probable that you won't need to fiddle with udev.

I've never really had to deal with emulating 32bit code on a 64bit
install, so I'm no help there.
Out of curiosity, why do you need that program? I would assume that once
you've installed the necessary xorg driver, your pen would act like any
other tablet?

Hmm, maybe you will need to fiddle with udev. From your original guide:
If you have udev installed, create new rules file as
/etc/udev/rules.d/aiptek-tablet.rules:
# links /dev/input/aiptektablet to the correct /dev/input/event*
# without it, X will not be able to locate the tablet
#
# The idVendor and idProduct values work for my Trust V2 tablet.
# Other aiptek-compatible tablets might need different values.
#
# You can run "lsusb" to see the ids for currently plugged in devices.
#
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="08ca",
SYSFS{idProduct}=="0021", SYMLINK+="input/aiptektablet"

New subject: trust work tablet 400
ok well update i managed to screw up my xorg.conf when i added these lines
*******
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Tablet entries
Now set up the entries for the tablet. Add the folowing to your X
config file:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "pen"
Driver "aiptek"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/aiptektablet"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "Mode" "absolute"
Option "Cursor" "stylus"
Option "Mode" "absolute"
Option "PressCurve" "0,5,95,100"
Option "zMin" "0"
Option "zMax" "512"
Option "ZThreshold" "0"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "KeepShape" "on"
Option "debuglevel" "0"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "cursor"
Driver "aiptek"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/aiptektablet"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "Mode" "absolute"
Option "Cursor" "puck"
Option "Mode" "absolute"
Option "PressCurve" "0,5,95,100"
Option "KeepShape" "on"
Option "zMin" "0"
Option "zMax" "512"
Option "ZThreshold" "0"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "debuglevel" "0"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "eraser"
Driver "aiptek"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/aiptektablet"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "Mode" "absolute"
Option "Cursor" "stylus"
Option "Mode" "absolute"
Option "PressCurve" "0,5,95,100"
Option "zMin" "0"
Option "zMax" "512"
Option "ZThreshold" "0"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "KeepShape" "on"
Option "debuglevel" "0"
EndSection
You can find information on these options in the AIPTEK(4)
manual page. Then find the ServerLayout entry and add the tablet
devices. Mine looks like this:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
# this is the entry for the standard mouse
InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer"
# the following are entries for the tablet
InputDevice "pen" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "cursor" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "eraser" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection
*********************
i sorted my xorg out no problem after rescuing and removing those lines everything is fine
again,
but still cant get this tablet to work

Hmm, maybe you will need to fiddle with udev. From your original guide:
If you have udev installed, create new rules file as
/etc/udev/rules.d/aiptek-tablet.rules:
# links /dev/input/aiptektablet to the correct /dev/input/event*
# without it, X will not be able to locate the tablet
#
# The idVendor and idProduct values work for my Trust V2 tablet.
# Other aiptek-compatible tablets might need different values.
#
# You can run "lsusb" to see the ids for currently plugged in devices.
#
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="08ca",
SYSFS{idProduct}=="0021", SYMLINK+="input/aiptektablet"
