Why use OpenTabletDriver?
Normally, you should use your manufacturer-provided driver for your tablet. However, there are some situations where OpenTabletDriver is extremely useful or required.
Your manufacturer dropped support for your tablet model with their latest drivers. This may leave you stuck with a tablet you can't use.
Your manufacturer's drivers may be malfunctioning in some way that is beyond your control to fix.
You are trying to troubleshoot a problem and want to see if the problem is in the driver vs some other component.
