Hello, I just tried the 0.7.7-2 driver. It almost works, but there are two problems on my system:
1. The cursor jumps to the left edge when the pen goes beyond the RIGHT edge of the tablet, and cursor jumps to top edge when pen goes beyond the BOTTOM edge. The top and left sides of the tablet work as desired, however! 2. The corners of the tablet still work like before. The driver still ignores the pen when it goes beyond a corner, so you have to move the pen very slowly to get the cursor to a corner. Anyone else experience this?
