You mean New Year's gift? They were all distributed by New Year's eve.
Just kidding ;).

Since you are using a serial tablet, kernel version won't do much, if
any, for you.

I checked my log file, I did not see this same line. I saw a similar
line without maxZ though. We may use different git sources. I tested
the driver with isdv4-serial-debugger. The pressure displayed at the
initial prompt is 127. However, when I press the stylus tip on the
screen, I saw 255 as the largest number reported for pressure! So, we
get the same value from isdv4-serial-debugger. I am not sure where the
difference lies.

I have the same question. I'll try to find another serial tablet pc to
test with.  Meanwhile, are you willing to clone xf86-input-wacom from
the git repo and install the driver again? If the problem is on your
system, we can only figure it out by working on that system...
