The module parameters worked perfectly. I used maxtabletx=50000 maxtablet*y*=40000 though as I figured thats what you meant. *grin*
No idea, I'm not really much of a programmer yet. wacom-config is the most complex program I've ever written and thats just a glorified wrapper over the drivers and expresskeys.
I'll have to get back to you on that, I did some quick testing today and it seems wacdump is getting events and they actually look ok... but I was too busy with other work the rest of the day to finish comparing to another machine not going via 'tablets'. I'll try to get some better notes for you soon (I think fingers crossed that it may be an easy fix to get the pad working via your drivers.), I've just had a load of new computers turn up at work and have several other things going so it may be a day or two.

Oh, I see someone didn't remember his math... *grin* The problem you see is an
integer that goes beyond 2Gig, oops...
Let's see; 100000 (x-res on virtual) * 40640 is.. ~4Gig... Yes, it should stop
working halfway over.. 80000 * 30480 is ~2.4Gig... Well... *ehm*
You can redefine the default values in the source to 50k*40k (defines around
line 150), or pass them to the module as 'maxtabletx=50000 maxtabletx=40000'
(never tried the module param passing thing though..). These values should
work better with those tablets you've been using so far.
I have a Volito2 with only the puny resolution of 5k*4k so I didn't see this
obviously mistake, *and* I didn't check my math...
Thanks

Exactly what I needed, perfect.
I'll have to find a way to calculate these things in a different manner.. Do
you know what the opinion is about using floating point math in the kernel?
Maybe long long is the way to go.

Hmm... Ok, would it be possible to see if wacdump on tabletsdev give you
decent values in this situation? And if some of the other values are changed
in a way they shouldn't (compared to running directly on the eventX)?

Heh, lucky you. I have a 95-97% probability so far of a kernel oops when I
unplug or suspend my machine without the driver..
The major issue as I see it at the moment is to figure out how to handle
tablets with different aspects. It's a bit tricky to fit all tablets with
different aspects into one device...
Thanks!
