The driver in ubuntu is not the same as what Penmount releases (which is
a closed source blob), and this turned into a bug about the closed one.
"Active development" is not what I'd say about the driver in the same
sentence, as upstream puts it:

"This driver is one of the legacy input drivers that you almost certainly
don't want to use. Use the kernel driver instead (if one exists) or write
one (if none exists). This release brings the usual input ABI updates,
cleanups, etc."

That was from the release notes of 1.5.0 release earlier this week.

There in fact is a kernel driver for penmount, which means that you
should already use the -evdev X driver by default. If not, file a bug
against -evdev, same thing if there are problems with it.
