Ah, good you got the kernel module working. Did you have to do something 
specific to avoid the problem you experienced at first?

Good testing! Did you try to press the stylus while you were out in the 
corner? My pointer jumps out into the corner when I do so I can get out into 
it, but I agree that can be a bit annoying...

I did a few checks with wacdump and xidump as I tested the behaviour and 
wacdump shows the correct values (as we want it) xidump doesn't... So this 
seems to be something in the X-driver... I haven't seen anything yet, but 
I'll keep it in mind as I roam the source..

Minor or major, we need to know it if we shall be able to do something about 
it.. I thought it was fixed in 0.7.6-2, obviously not.. Thanks!
