I can answer the second question because originally I tried getting rid of maxTouch*. The reason is because of ISDV4 devices. They read directly from 1 serial device so all the types's are multiplexed to single DEVICE. They want to store in the common structure a min/max of X/Y for both the pen part of tablet and another for touch part of tablet. So they need two sets of variables. Later, they are copied to priv structures. The only reason to store in common struct is related to GetRanges() only be called once at device open. Perhaps we should support calling GetRanges() for all device types instead of just on open. Then most Max* values would become priv-only values. I, also, don't quite understand Max* logic right now. I would like help understanding it because a related question came up twice in conversations yesterday. If your tablet ratio isn't same as your screen ratio then drawing an exact circle on tablet doesn't draw an exact circle on screen. What is the solution for this? Is it adjusting Bottom* values to make tablet ratio match screen or is it adjusting Max* values? My screen is close enough to my tablet (I guess) that I don't see the issue... but others have reported it.
