In my case direct following instructions just worked:

   Grab my [26]fpi2002-0.5.tar.gz port of the fpi2002 enabler for kernel
   2.6 and the [27]tc1k-1.1.tar.gz driver for XFree.
   Compile and install fpi2002 and add it to
   /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. It needs to be loaded before any
   other serial port driver for it to work.
   Unarchive tc1k pen driver and copy it to XServer modules dir
# cp tc1k-1.1/tc1k_drv.o /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/

have you done the last step (copying to x11 and editing conf file?)
