There is a scaling issue with xserver 1.4, but I think this is actually a bug in the linuxwacom driver.. It seems that you can work around this problem by dropping KeepShape and adding the following option: Option "BottomY" "6380" This one is specifically tailored for a 16:10 screen and a Graphire4 (4x5), but the general formula is BottomY = TabletMaxX * ScreenMaxY / ScreenMaxX. I'll try to track this one down during the weekend.. The current scaling issue seems to stay until xserver 1.6 so we're stuck with this for a while...
