Graham,
Thanks for that (it was me having the trouble) - just come back from holidays and found your info. I'm not quite sure how to do what you suggest, but I'll have a go!
Thanks,
Patrick

Someone was having problems with defining the screen size for use with a tablet. I just found this information (SuSE 9.2) which maybe of use.
/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-24.3/Documentation/input/input.txt
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_[XY] in the kernel configuration are the size of your screen (in pixels) in XFree86. This is needed if you want to use your digitizer in X, because its movement is sent to X via a virtual PS/2 mouse and thus needs to be scaled accordingly. These values won't be used if you use a mouse only.
Also in the Kernel parameters mousedev.xres= [MOUSE] Horizontal screen resolution, used for devices
reporting absolute coordinates, such as tablets
mousedev.yres= [MOUSE] Vertical screen resolution, used for devices
reporting absolute coordinates, such as tablets
I suggest you do a search through the kernel documentation to see if there are any further details on tablet related configuration.
