According to the source, the driver always sends the absolute
coordinates and these are passed as absolute motion events to the
X server.

The xsetwacom tool just tells the X server how to handle these
events using the X input extension. You should be able to do
the same with the 'xinput --set-mode' command.

One problem with wscons is that, by default, it merges all mouse
devices into one mouse input. If you have multiple input devices
(like mouse + tablet), you may need to configure the X server
separately for e.g. /dev/wsmouse0, /dev/wsmouse1. I've done this
a long time ago, but modern X is different.
