I don't recall seeing any feedback regarding this driver in the
past, and from your decsription it sounds like you've fixed some
real bugs and improved the driver. I'd suggest submitting your
patches ('diff -u' format preferred), and we can look at getting
them in for the coming release. You can either post them here, or
submit them via bugs.xfree86.org.
If anyone here is using the fpit driver, particularly with an active pen
system, they should speak up now, and test your patches.
