I know you don't like ifdefs (me neither). But I don't feel we can afford either dropping support for older servers or maintaining more than one xf86-input-wacom branch. I am waiting for the day that I can drop linuxwacom for good. Hope someone can save us from this "hell" ;). >> 1) My device advertises Pressure support with range of 0-4096 but >> never sends anything.

It is an issue in wcmInitAxes (xf86Wacom.c). We did not check if the axis is defined or not before calling InitValuatorAxisStruct.
