Need to definitely compile it... what was the repository/branch again?

Setting discard_corepointer did not change anything, as you suspected. > If the dot is not where the cursor currently is then it means a faulty > device driver is sending a click at a location where it no longer is. The dot is where the pointer was before losing the focus. Or before flipping the pen. It seems that the dot is drawn (just sometime) before the pointer "snaps" to the new position. Sometime I have even straight lines drawn to the borders of the canvas. > Let me guess... it's not a wacom tablet, is it?

And your comment about the "ignore_other_devices" made me try to disable (hardware, the tablet has a little switch) the touch part of the tablet --- although sometime it is useful for scrolling. That seems to have fixed, or at least greatly reduced, the spurious dot problem (I could write two pages without any dot). I am using input-wacom-0.20.0 input driver; will check if the recently released 0.21.0 change something --- it mentions the CTH-480 touch switch, so maybe... Thanks anyway --- found at least a workaround.
