Hi all,
I have some problems using xournal 4.8, on a Sony Vaio Duo 11,
with ubuntu 14.10.

First of all, here it is the output of `xinput --list`:

carlo@med:~$ xinput --list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                        id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                  id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Crucialtek co.,LTD Optical Track Pad        id=10    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ N-trig DuoSense Pen                         id=13    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ N-trig DuoSense                             id=14    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                       id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard                 id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                   id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sony Vaio Keys                              id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                                id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ USB2.0 Camera Front                         id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ USB2.0 Camera Rear                          id=11    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard                id=12    [slave  keyboard (3)]

So, as you can see, my input for the tablet is differentiated into the
input for the pen and the input for the touchscreen. So, for example,
if I run `xinput --disable 14` I can use xournal with the pen only. In
what follows I will leave enabled both devices.

So, I have three different problems:

1) I'd like to obtain a setup like the one one-note has, in which I
use the hand to move around (hand mode). So, I'm trying to use the
button `Designate as touchscreen`, for which I have a number of
options:

  - Virtual Core XTEST pointer
  - Crucialtek co.,LTD Optical Track Pad
  - N-Trig Duosense Pen
  - N-Trig Duosense
  - Core Pointer

I tried to set `N-Trig Duosense` as the touchscreen, but then the
option `Touchscreen as Handtool` turns *both* the touch and the pen in
the handtool. I'd like the pen to remain usable to write.
Interestingly, if I set `N-Trig Duosense Pen` as the touchscreen
device, I'm able to use the pen as handtool and the touch to write.
The other combinations don't seem to do anything useful for my
purposes.  How could I change this behaviour?

2) Button 3 mapping. I don't seem to be able to change the function of
my third button, which does always what the primary pen is
doing. Button 2 map works fine. Are there any ways in which I could
troubleshoot this?

3) When I set pen pressure to on, the pen outputs a streak of pressure
when I'm about to lift my pen from the tablet (see the attached
pdf). This happens if I try to draw a very low pressured line, when I
lift the pen from the tablet, and when I handwrite (the end of the
letter display a sharp trait). Especially the second problem is a bit
unsettling. So, is there a way in which I could tweak the pen output
to avoid that? (I could always keep pen pressure off, but that's a
shame).

Thanks in advance
