Yup. That's what I thought when I wrote ;) Btw, I've found a way around this 
little problem now, so there's a new version available that should work 
out-of-the-box for all of you. http://195.38.3.2/linuxprojs/

No rush. There are still a few other issues that I can work on until you've 
got the time to play with my stuff :)


Onto something else.. I've come to realize that the different aspect ratios of 
different Wacom models could give me quite a headache, and then I have to add 
the different aspect ratios to the display into the equation as well. 
The 'KeepShape' option to wacom_drv should solve the latter but the rescaling 
in the tabletsdev must be more adaptable as well.

It's possible to manually define the width/height of the tabletsdev now giving 
some sort of aspect control. I was thinking of adding a possibility to 
redefine these without unloading the module and at the same time adding an 
way to automatically re-calculate of height when inserting a tablet (only 
when there's no tablet connected, so the second one will share the aspect 
from the first one). That way the aspect can be automatically correct all the 
way from the tablet to the screen.

That should take care of things except when to let the change in aspect take 
effect. Either I'll let it change when the last one has closed the device, 
not so good maybe as X must be shut down.. The other option would be to force 
X to re-open the device when a re-scaling occur. I think the last option only 
needs a little patch in wacom_drv.so so it'll try to re-open it once (and 
re-initialize the internal struct) in case of a read-error.

Any thoughts?
