Is the distance to the tablet a value directly reported from the hardware
or
is it calculated from other values? I mean, is it really necessary to
force
the cursor out of proximity? Maybe only not reporting movement events if
the
cursor has a specific distance would work better.


Distance is reported from hardware. I have some ideas to fix it. Give me a
bit more time.

Sorry, I confused these two settings.

But I have to confirm Oliver's observation: When moving the cursor slowly
it's
a bit jerky. Is relative mode implemented in hardware or is it calculated
from the reported absolute coordinates in software. Maybe a smooth
relative
movement can be calculated as the delta to the absolute coordinate of the
point where the mouse came in proximity of the tablet.


I think this one is related to the distance issue.

If I ever have some more time I would like to help. :-)
